Wayne Rooney insists Tyson Fury will never be beaten and called for King Charles III to give the Gypsy King a knighthood.
And Fury, has responded by joking that the Manchester United legend, and former schoolboy boxer, would make a great sparring partner.
Rooney, England’s record goal scorer, was in attendance as Fury brutally stopped Derek Chisora in a one-sided heavyweight world title fight on Saturday night.
Fury’s trilogy fight with his old rival ‘Del Boy’ quickly became a non-contest as the undefeated champion proved that he was a class above.
Fury then called out Oleskandr Usyk in the ring for an undisputed battle. Rooney, who comes from a boxing family, is a huge combat sports fan, was effusive in his praise of Fury after his latest convincing triumph.
The current DC United manager cannot see Usyk getting the better of Fury, and called for the 34-year-old to be knighted for his incredible boxing achievements.
“He’s the best we’ve seen for a long time,” Rooney said. “I don’t think anyone will beat him. I think he’s an absolute legend, what he’s done for boxing. He’s entertaining. His skills are incredible….His mentality is incredible.
“If I’m being honest, I probably think he should be knighted. Because he hasn’t been afraid to go abroad. He’s won titles abroad. Defended them abroad. He epitomizes everything that boxing is.”
