Actually that was a bit harsh I feel for him, he lost his wife really young. Might just be dealing with issues in a very odd fashion.
I felt bad for him until I read he cheated on his wife at least ten times: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/rio-ferdinand-cheated-wife-least-139933 and that article is from 2011, so the number could have increased.
It's all about the money, he's 38 with no amateur fights...Will be good for a laugh though, he will probably make a few quid too with all the footy fans who will tune in. Fair play to him.
Not sure what to think. He's gone through a very difficult period of his life recently. If he genuinely wants this and believes in himself then I wish him the best of luck.
He will likely be doing what idris Elba did for a TV show. One year to get up to pro standard and have a fight at pro and document it all.. that's my guess anyway
Lots of people on Twitter are suggesting that Darnell ****ing Boone is the first opponent. This has to be one big joke surely.
