KSI shares the instance of receiving a boxing challenge from a Manchester United legend
In a tweet shared by Misfits Boxing, a brief explanation of KSI to the Manchester United player who happened to be Wayne Rooney was seen. The England forward had pinged KSI, telling him his intention to fight.
“I hope he doesn’t get annoyed that I said this but Wayne Rooney hit me up, being like, ‘Oh, we should fight.’ And I said no…I just don’t want to do that,” admitted KSI with a laugh. Nevertheless, the YouTuber opened the door for Rooney by saying, “I don’t know if Wayne really is down, of course he can, I think it’d be good to have him in the space. I know Wayne Bridge, is not the person that’s been interested in the space.”
