Man United legendary defender Patrice Evra is gearing up to make his debut in boxing, reports suggest.

Evra enjoyed an illustrious football career with United, winning a string of trophies with the Manchester club - including five Premier League titles.

However, he now looks set for a temporary career change, with Daily Mail reporting the Frenchman is in line to take his first steps in boxing as he gears up to feature on the undercard at a celebrity event in April.

It is understood the former France international will fight ahead of a heavyweight bout pitting Martyn Ford and the Iranian Hulk.

Evra has previously shown off his boxing skills, training at his new hobby on several occasions.

Back in 2019, he was seen striking pads after his retirement from football in what affirmed his love for the sport.

He is now set to make his maiden boxing appearance during a star-studded card organised by Boxstar at the O2 Arena in London.

Interestingly, Evra is not the only former footballer set to feature in the ring, with former Tottenham and Portsmouth midfielder Jamie O'Hara also set to feature.

O'Hara will face off against life coach Kris Boyson on the undercard.
