Paddy Kenny Calls Out Wayne Rooney for Charity Bout

Kenny is already matched with Curtis Davies at Pro Project Promotions’ Oct. 18 London debut benefiting four charities.

Overview

  • The event is scheduled for October 18 in the Great Room at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
  • Kenny issued the challenge after years of Rooney teasing him about Sergio Aguero’s 2012 title‑winning goal against QPR.
  • Rooney has not accepted and has previously said he wants to focus on returning to football management rather than boxing.
  • Kenny says he has trained for eight weeks and lost over two stone while preparing for the charity card.
  • The debut show features multiple ex‑pros, including Marvin Elliott vs Greg Halford, Leroy Lita vs David Noble, Lee Trundle vs Anthony Gardner, and David Bentley vs Jody Morris, with proceeds for Playskill, Sport in Mind, Willow Foundation and Helping Hands.
