Fancy a punch-up?

A south Cheshire boxing promoter is offering Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo the chance to settle their World Cup differences in the boxing ring - all for the good of charity!
Pat Brogan, who has more than 30 years' experience in the fight game, is offering the Manchester United team-mates - who clashed when Rooney was red-carded in the defeat to Portugal - £100,000 each to climb into the ring.
He said: 'That would be for four three-minute rounds in Manchester. They could wear 16oz gloves and headguards, so I'm sure neither would get seriously hurt.
'Friends of mine, Ryan Giggs and Max Beesley, are involved in a scan-ner appeal for a hospital, so they could have the proceeds.'
He claimed: 'It would do them good to settle their differences, shake hands afterwards and get on with it. It is the best way for them to sort it out, otherwise there will always be a bitterness between them.
