Eddie Hearn, head of Matchroom Boxing, has spoken about the potential boxing match between former Manchester United player Wayne Rooney and blogger Jake Paul (8-1, 5 KOs).
"Rooney has some boxing experience, was an amateur and knows how to take care of himself. Wayne Rooney vs. Jake Paul at Old Trafford would be a huge event, and I would bet on Wayne to win," said Hearn in a comment to DAZN Boxing.
Jake's next fight is scheduled for March 2, where he will meet Ryan Bourland (17-2, 6 KOs). Rooney has talked about the possibility of a boxing match but without any specifics.
