So, here’s what the Youtuber-turned-boxer said, “I would love for that to happen, that would be incredible! I’ve seen him on the bag, he looks like he can bang. Let’s go, bro, get in the ring. Get in the squared circle mate.” Zlatan has recently retired from football. AC Milan’s massive fanbase gave him the perfect sendoff as the team played its final match of the season against Hellas Verona.

It was the first time when the lion cried himself, and so did the football world. But then, they were keen to know what he had planned next, as Zlatan always had a progressive attitude. Now, with KSI inviting him for boxing, the question is will he consider it? After all, the AC Milan player has no prior experience in boxing but does share a love for taekwondo.
