Duncan Ferguson reveals the current England international who 'battered him' in a training ground boxing match - after Toffees legend warned star he would 'get hurt'

Duncan Ferguson has admitted he was 'battered' by a current England international in a boxing match during his time at Everton.

Ferguson played over 270 times for Everton during two separate spells at Goodison Park, first between 1994 and 1998 and later between 2000 and 2006.

The former forward had established a reputation as a hardman during his playing career, having been sent off on nine occasions.

Ferguson was sent to prison for three months in 1994 following an on-field assault of Raith Rovers' John McStay when he played for Rangers.

He also famously confronted burglars on two occasions at his home in 2001 and 2003.
