Patrice Evra vs Dirk Kuyt: The tape tale of Dirk Kuyt: How Liverpool and Man Utd legends compare when they both take up boxing

Patrice Evra and Dirk Kuyt, both Manchester United and Liverpool boxing heroes, have entered the world of boxing. But could a fight between them be in the future?

The Ex-France international Evra was scheduled to face Adam Saleh over the weekend, but it has been postponed.

Kuyt, a former Kop star, recently said that he is interested in sweet science. He stated: "As a former football player, I know what it's like to be at a stadium.

"It has been four years since my last football match. It's been four years since I stopped playing football.

"I have played other sports like tennis and padel, but I am new to the ring." However, being in the ring for the first time is a new experience.

He said, "I would love be in that fight against another celebrity." "I will start training hard from now."
