Has he got a board licence ?

Do you think Sky TV would invest if not?

[funso banjo baby]

will this be at heavyweight?

[Stuarty]

Couldn't give a solitary fukk

[Mimmy]

Light heavy with the sound of it and Rio has said its only 1 fight.

Eddie Hearn has said Ferdinand has been nieve so im suspecting its not on one of his shows.

There are a few in February that are on Sky TV

Nothing as yet Tweeted by Ferdinand but info was on Talksport this afternoon.

Who's he going to fight? Zlatan?

[mickey1975]

Nobody can box on Sky without Camp Eddie ok'ing it.

[Nightmare Roy]

Who's he going to fight? Zlatan?

Zlatan ko 1

[banjo]

Who's he going to fight? Zlatan?

He'd get pulverised, I'm sure Zlatan's a black belt in some Jackie Chan shite.

I’d watch Ferdinand-Fournier.

Can be called ‘Battle of the Bullshit’

[paddy chavez]

i have nothing against rio having a go at boxing its most likely a personal thing for him to see if he can hack it rather than a career it's not about money either as he's minted but it should be a well down the bill or on a small hall fight .

[Coco]

Fournier would be an ideal opponent, a genuine competitive fight without fear of someone getting hurt.

Of course it should be a white collar event.

[Mimmy]

Ill have more respect for rio if he fights someone and gets beat rather than fighting a carefully selected opponent as with Flintoff and beats him over 4 rounds on points.

As this is only a one off fight they are going to match him with a selected boxer who has very limited talent, but imo thats just a school yard bully going to work on someone inferior.

Of course Rio wants to win his one off fight but I just hope he actually fights someone with a heartbeat and either beats him sportsmanly or gets beat himself in a decent scrap.

[Oiky]

Hope his technique has improved from them dreadful vids a few months ago

[keithmoonhangover]

Rio has said its only 1 fight.

Against a carefully selected opponent with a very flattering record, probably from Oklahoma.
