The 38 year-old former Manchester United and England defender is expected to announce on Tuesday morning that he intends to become a boxer and will be seeking a boxing license.
Rio Ferdinand is to make the shock announcement at 8am, with a press conference to follow just after midday confirming his intentions.
He leans heavily on personal trainer Mel Deane to keep him in pristine shape since retiring from football, but won’t be the first ex-player to head into the ring.
A close associates of the ex-footballer say he has been spending increasing amounts of time in the gym since the devastating death of his wife, Rebecca Ellison, two years ago.
Among his friends is the world champion heavyweight and super-heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua.
