Malik Scott: a former champion in favor of “carnival”
Aged 44, Malik Scott is a respected figure in the world of boxing, having resulted in many high -level athletes since his retirement, notably Deontay Wilder and Ezra Taylor. Having a close link with the world of football thanks to his marriage, Scott suggested that Ronaldo and Rooney are measured by each other, precisely because of their immense renown.
Addressing CanadaCasinoScott defended the idea of such a spectacle: ” A fight Cristiano Ronaldo against Wayne Rooney would more attract attention to boxing, and I am completely favorable. Whenever boxing benefits from greater attention, it is a good thing. »»
Far from being a boxing purist, Scott encourages the entertainment aspect: ” I want people to appreciate the show, not just criticizing it. Just enjoy the carnival. It would be a global event, because these are high -level names that would attract an immense audience. He is convinced that the confrontation between the two men, whose friendly rivalry in the field is well known, would generate an unprecedented enthusiasm, transforming a simple fight of celebrities into a global cultural phenomenon.
A shared passion, but different routes
If Malik Scott sees an undeniable commercial potential in this confrontation, the question remains whether the two stars would be really ready to climb the ring.
However, a real confrontation between the two former teammates seems very improbable, at least for the coming years. Ronaldo continues to focus on his career at the highest level with Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. A fight would require a significant interruption of his career, which, at present, is not possible. If Rooney may one day get into the ring for a celebrity fight, the opponent most desired by Malik Scott is likely to remain a fantasy for the promoters.
