JAKARTA - Dirk Kuyt hung up his boots in 2018 after having a wonderful career in the English, Dutch and Turkish Premier Leagues.
The 41-year-old now works as a TV pundit, and he is now getting ready to start his boxing career.
According to AD quoted from Marca, Tuesday, April 12, Kuyt will be fighting in the 'Hit It' event in Rotterdam, and he has revealed about his excitement at this new adventure.
"As a former football player, I know what it's like to be in the stadium," Kuyt told Humberto.
"It's been four years since I stopped playing football.
"And, of course, I miss the tension and the struggle to win games.
"I have played several other sports, such as tennis, padel and fitness.
"But being in the ring is something new for me."
Kuyt went on to state that he wants to fight other celebrities.
"I would love to be in a battle against another celebrity," he commented.
"From now on I will train hard."
A number of top European footballers, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul Pogba, Fernando Torres and Karim Benzema, have spoken about their love of boxing.
Maybe in the future they will follow the steps taken by Kuyt, a former Liverpool star who is ready to make his name in the ring.
