The famous former Manchester United footballer Rio Ferdinand named the four greatest athletes in history. It is noteworthy that the Englishman included two boxers in this list, but there was no place for representatives of the game of millions in it.
“Mohammed Ali, Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan, Roger Federer,” Ferdinand said in an interview with Sports Illustrated.
Let us remember that Ferdinand is a big boxing fan. In 2018, the ex-defender even wanted to make his debut in the ring, but the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) refused to issue him a license.
