Rio ferdinand launches bid become pro boxer

I think there may be some confusion here!

Rio Ferdinand, the former English professional footballer, has not launched a bid to become a professional boxer. While he is a sports personality and a former Premier League champion, he has not announced any plans to pursue a career in boxing.

Rio Ferdinand is currently a football pundit and commentator, working for BT Sport and other media outlets. He has also been involved in various business ventures and philanthropic activities since retiring from professional football in 2015.

So, to clarify, there is no bid from Rio Ferdinand to become a professional boxer.
