Former world champion Amir Khan has offered to coach Wayne Rooney in a possible fight against Jamie Vardy.
Rooney was approached by KSI’s promotion Misfits to discuss the potential of the Manchester United legend fighting at one of their events.
And Khan believes Vardy would make a great opponent for the former striker amid the ‘Wagatha Christie’ affair which saw Rebekah Vardy lose her £3m libel case against Coleen Rooney in 2022 after the latter l was accused of leaking “false stories” about his private life. .
“Jamie Vardy is the right fight for Wayne Rooney, it’s a very good fight,” Khan said Play area. “They had the argument their wives had, what a fight that would make, it would sell well.
“They’re also both pretty much on the same level. They are both novices. I would support Wayne because Wayne is more streetwise, he is more grounded.

“You don’t want to put him in the ring with someone who might hurt him, or message him and make him look stupid, it should just be someone to have a bit of fun with, because some like Wayne Rooney might be really hurt.
“He’s not much of a boxer, so if he gets into the deep end too quickly, it could hurt his confidence and he could get injured.”
Khan added: “I would love to train and help Wayne Rooney, sports people have a lot of respect for each other, because they have been there and done that, so they would listen to you more than a coach normal.”
“When you train with another athlete, it’s going to push you and you’re going to train hard.”
Rooney confirmed last month he had been approached by Misfits, but insisted he was fully focused on returning to management after being sacked by Birmingham earlier this season.
The 38-year-old said: “They have been in touch and asked the question, but I think at the moment I want to focus on getting back into management, not boxing.
“There were a few (offers) and obviously Misfits were there and it made headlines. But listen, I want to focus on my return to management, that’s my goal.
