Misfits light heavyweight champion Anthony Taylor has claimed that a fight between Jake Paul and English football legend Wayne Rooney would be one of sport's biggest events.
Over recent weeks, rumours have been rife surrounding Rooney and a possible venture into the world of boxing, but the former Manchester United striker was quick to dismiss the speculation and instead reiterate his desire to continue his career as a football manager.
However, this has not stopped the frequent links between Rooney and a possible fight with Jake Paul.
Speaking to OCB Scores, Taylor is adamant that a fight between Rooney and Paul would be a contest which would shatter a number of records.
"Wayne Rooney would be the perfect addition to the Misfits roster, he's a football icon, he'd bring more eye balls to the sport of boxing than Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather did," Taylor said.
"He'd bring in a global audience, which would be great for Misfits, and great for crossover boxing.
"It doesn't matter who Rooney fights, he'd probably shatter all pay-per-view records. Imagine Wayne versus Jake Paul, that would be bigger than the Super Bowl and I'd be backing my boy Jake everytime, even though I've heard Rooney knows how to handle himself.
"An easier fight to make, though, would be Rooney and John Fury, that would be pure carnage, can you imagine the build up?
"John's calling out Carl Froch at the moment - that's a bridge too far for John because Froch was a world champion - but Rooney and John Fury, or Rooney and Jake Paul, wow, boxing doesn't get any bigger."
