Rooney’s love of boxing has never been a secret. <\/p>\n

He even went viral in 2015 for sparring<\/a> with friend and former Manchester United team-mate Phil Bardsley in his kitchen. <\/p>\n

But Rooney revealed he has also targeted someone who would put up more of a fight than Bardsley – former world champion Joe Calzaghe, at his agent’s wedding no less. <\/p>\n

Rooney’s agent Paul Stretford explained the story: “Joe came to the wedding, and Wayne’s there of course. And we’ve had a few drinks and he offers Joe Calzaghe out. I’m stood there talking to them both and he goes, ‘Alright Joe’, ‘Alright Wayne?’ ‘I could have you’.<\/p>\n

“I’m looking and I’m thinking, ‘You’re joking me’. He’s going, ‘No, just calm down… I just want to do a bit of shadow boxing with him’. So we go onto the green outside in the middle of my wedding.<\/p>\n

“Joe’s going, ‘Don’t worry, it’s nothing’. Joe’s just sort of stood there but [Rooney’s gone] into the ribs.”<\/p>\n

Remembering the moment, Rooney joked: “I saw him, he looked a bit vulnerable, he’d had a few drinks. I thought I might give him his first defeat.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
