In 2011, Suarez, then Liverpool striker, was involved in a scandal of racism following the allegations of Evra, legend of Manchester United. The Uruguayan was sentenced to a fine of £ 40,000 and a suspension of eight games by the English Football Federation (FA). Their argument was further overturned when Suarez refused to shake hands with the French back during the team composition during the confrontation between Liverpool and United, which prompted Evra to celebrate in front of the attacker during a victory the following season.
Evra has long retired and tried in several positions, notably as an expert, an activity that did not seem natural for this charismatic but unpredictable player. However, he seems to have found his second vocation: he announced his beginnings in mixed martial arts with the PFL and invited Suarez to face it in the ring. The former French international also said that he would let the “bite” the “bite”, recalling the three incidents that Inter Miami striker was confronted, the last having taken place during the 2014 World Cup, when he bit the Italian Giorgio Chiellini.
Suarez in the cage with Evra?
On the social network X, Evra wrote: “I officially train for my first fight with the PFL Europe. They will choose my opponent… They asked me who I wanted to face. I said: Luis Suarez. I will pay from my pocket. He can even bite me. »»
In an official press release addressed to the PFL Europe, Evra announced its presence in Paris: ” You probably know, I also love this sport. I played on the biggest scenes in the world and won all the great football trophies, but the PFL Europe Paris will be an exceptional evening for me. I have been training alongside the best fighters in the world for years, and they will tell you that I am ready. I'm going to make a show at Accor Arena on May 23, so come and attend the show. ”
However, it is very unlikely that Suarez puts on the gloves against Evra, the Uruguayan continuing to play Inter Miami, while he is gradually touching at the end of his career.
