Jack Wilshere reveals he has taken up BOXING as the Arsenal coach names a former teammate as his dream opponent

Jack Wilshere has revealed that he has been honing his skills inside the boxing ring, and his even earmarked his dream fight.

Since hanging up his boots last year, Wilshere has moved into coaching and currently serves as the Arsenal Under-18s manager.

However, the former England midfielder's competitive spirit has clearly not diminished in retirement as he now supplements his coaching duties with sessions at The Fit Factory gym in London, run by brothers Andreas and Chris Evangelou.

And its not just for fitness, either.

Wilshere revealed that he has been sparring and has contemplated taking a fight, with a prospective opponent already in mind.
