A clip of Wayne Bridge boxing has emerged following the news that he is set to fight KSI and fans are impressed.
Mail Sport revealed that the former Chelsea, Manchester City and England star will take on the influencer on March 29 with an announcement imminent, subject to contracts being signed.
The contest was officially confirmed when the pair entered the ring together on Saturday night and KSI immediately began mocking Bridge for his previous relationship.
Bridge had previously been in a relationship with French underwear model Vanessa Perroncel while playing for Chelsea in 2009.
The relationship later broke down amid allegations that former Blues and England captain John Terry, who was Bridge's teammate at the time, had allegedly had an affair with Perroncel.
Bridge may seem like an odd choice to some and the announcement has received a lot of criticism, but he is no stranger to the ring.

Fans were shocked by the former footballer's skills with one posting on
Another wrote: 'Wayne Bridge's fitness is second to none. In fact, he also looked good in a previous boxing match.
One said: “I see everyone hating on Wayne Bridge after KSI announced he would fight him in March.”
“Wayne Bridge really knows how to box and is probably better than 75 percent of the Misfits roster, but yeah, he's 44 years old.”
While it's clear that Bridge can handle himself in the ring, most of the response to the fight with KSI has been negative.
Fans have pointed out the fact that KSI has ridiculed people like Jake Paul for fighting professional wrestlers who are past their prime.
Bridge is not a professional and will turn 45 at the end of this year. He hung up his boots in 2014 after a career that saw him win the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup with Chelsea.
Bridge also played for Southampton, Fulham, West Ham, Sunderland and Brighton and earned 36 England caps. Those who know him say that he is in optimal condition.
