YouTube star Adam Saleh has been confirmed as the opponent for Patrice Evra's first foray into the boxing ring next month.
The celebrity duo will go to battle at London's O2 Arena on April 30 on the undercard of 'the world's scariest man' Martyn Ford's boxing debut against 'the Iranian Hulk' Sajad Gharibi. Saleh, who has around 4.77million subscribers on his main YouTube channel, is returning to the ring for the fourth time on the event.
Newfound promotion Boxstar, who staged a similar celebrity fight night in Manchester last year, will put on the show at the iconic London venue. While Evra hasn't boxed before, his legendary football career saw him win five Premier League titles, a Champions League, two Serie A medals and a Club World Cup among countless trophies, and his athletic gifts are miles ahead of his rival's.
