Football Legend Rio Ferdinand has announced he is hanging up his Boxing gloves with a “heavy heart”.
In a statement on Facebook, the 39-year-old said that to “not be given the chance to demonstrate his ability to the BBBoC through the standard assessment afforded to others is hard to take.
The former Manchester United and England footballer announced his decision to try for a pro licence last September.
Ferdinand won the Premier League title on six occasions with Manchester United and was capped by England 81 times. He now works as a pundit for BT Sport.
