Patrice Evra will be entering the ring next month as he takes his first steps into the world of boxing with a fight against Adam Saleh at the O2 Arena on April 30. The former France captain, 40, will fight on the undercard of Martyn Ford vs Sajad Gharibi with former Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves midfielder Jamie O'Hara also on the card, fighting Katie Price's ex-boyfriend Kris Boyson.
As reported by the Daily Star, the Manchester United legend has been keeping fit by boxing since calling time on his playing career back in 2019. He has been keen to test his skills and such an opportunity against social media personality Adam Saleh, who has fought before.
At 5"6" he is smaller than the 5"9" Evra, but his increased boxing experience as well as being 12 years younger makes this an interesting duel. Saleh has had three fights, beating unlicensed boxing journeyman Marcus Stephenson in 2019, before winning against prankster Anas ElShayib before a draw with TikToker Walid Sharks.
