Zlatan Ibrahimovic has ended his football career.
Now he gets an offer – to change sports.
– I would have loved it, says the world star “KSI”.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s matchless football career is over. After more than 20 years as a professional, and after a huge amount of titles and accolades, he walked out on the San Siro pitch after the last game of the season and announced that it is now over. Since then, tributes have poured in from all over the world, and from some of the greatest players of all time.
The offer from the world star
Zlatan Ibrahimovic goes down in history as one of the most successful players ever, and there hasn’t exactly been a lack of interest in the Swede after the announcement. He has been rumored to be current both as an agent, and as in a role within Milan. But now comes a much more unexpected offer – about a completely different sport.
World star KSI – best known from YouTube but who later became a successful boxer, and with more than 12 million followers on Instagram – now wants to see Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the ring, and do what so many celebrities have done in recent years.
– I would have loved to see him. It would have been downright unbelievable, says KSI in an interview with the boxing network Misfits Boxing.

“Come on now, Ibra!”
Throughout his career, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has shown a huge interest in boxing and MMA. He has been to several matches, he has a black belt in taekwondo, and not infrequently he has uploaded videos on Instagram where he hits punching bags.
– I’ve seen him hit the punching bags. Looks like he knows what he’s doing. Come on now, Ibra. Into the ring! Into the Octagon!, says KSI.
In recent years, several celebrities have chosen to step into the boxing ring for hugely publicized matches, which also generate huge sums of money. Certainly it would have tickled to see Zlatan Ibrahimovic compete in a completely different sport, and it is hard to believe other than that the winning skull and competitive insight are still there, even though his football career is over.
