The Saga Continues: Alan Shearer Responds to Roy Keane Celebrity Boxing Fight Proposal
In an intriguing development, former Newcastle United star Alan Shearer has weighed in on the possibility of a celebrity boxing fight against his bitter rival, Manchester United legend Roy Keane. Keane and Shearer’s animosity towards each other reached a boiling point in the late 90s and early 00s, with several scuffles breaking out on the pitch during their playing days.
In his latest remarks, Shearer hinted that a fight between the two old foes might not be the most suitable idea. When asked about it on the Match of the Day podcast, Shearer laughed and jokingly declined the proposal: "I’m too old for that s**t, Gaz." Keane, however, might not be as agreeable to this notion, given the years of hostility and rivalry between them on the pitch.
To put the heat on Shearer, Gary Lineker made a tantalizing suggestion that fans would pay to see the clash of these two Premier League all-time greats. "Even now, I think people would pay to see that," Lineker said with a hint of excitement. We couldn’t help but wonder what might spark the tension that would lead to these intense battles in the ring.

In the meantime, former Manchester City and England defender Micah Richards shared his own humorous encounter on the pitch with Clint Dempsey in 2007, sending us into a nostalgic trip.
