Simple announcement effect or real desire to take up a new challenge?
According to various British media, Patrice Evra, very present in the media in recent weeks during his tour for his autobiography, could put on the gloves and step into a boxing ring on April 2 in London.
He would even be expected in the hall of the O2 Arena during a party with other celebrities.
The name of the boxer who could face him has not filtered.

40-year-old Patrice Evra – if the fight was confirmed – would try a new sport after ending his long and rich football career in 2019. Whether at Manchester United or Juventus, less on the side of Monaco, OM or is Ham, the former left side won 5 championships in England, 2 in Italy, 1 Champions League while playing 5 finals.
His image remains tainted by the 2010 World Cup, where he was captain of a pathetic French team in South Africa, with in particular the disastrous episode of the Knysna bus strike.
During his football career, Patrice Evra weighed 72 kilos, which would make him box in the middleweight category.
In recent weeks, he would have multiplied the training on the side of Dubai, where he has resided daily since the end of his career.
During an evening where other local celebrities, in particular reality TV candidates, would be expected, the former Marseillais would inevitably attract attention.
Reply April 2.
