Jamie Carragher has named Gary Neville as his preferred boxing opponent, vowing to “knock the f***” out of his Sky Sports colleague.
Carragher and Neville are a well-liked football punditry double act who have become known for their passionate viewpoints on the sport. Their affiliations with Liverpool and Manchester United respectively have led to numerous on-screen clashes, but things have never become overly-heated.
But could that be about to change? The idea of a boxing match between the duo was raised by Carragher during promotion for Chris Eubank Jr versus Liam Smith, which takes place at the AO Arena in Manchester on January 21.
