Accustomed to shining on the pitch, the Swedish star announced that he will hold a boxing match against Tyson Fury, one of the biggest stars in sports, in August (1st), in Ireland. This will be the first time the former football player will step into the ring to compete.

And on his official Instagram account, the former soccer player showed himself to be so excited about the challenge ahead that he stated that it's fights like this that make boxing great again. It's worth noting that Ibra isn't only known for his beautiful goals and explosive temperament. A fan of fighting, the Swede is a black belt in taekwondo and often attends boxing events.
