I prefer to talk than use fists – Haaland responds to potential boxing fight with Mbappe

Both individuals have been considered contenders for the Ballon d’Or following exceptional individual performances during the 2022-23 season.

They have been recognised as the standout talents of their era. However, what would the outcome be if they were to face off inside a boxing ring?

This query was posed to the Norwegian player during his appearance on Logan Paul’s ‘Impaulsive’ podcast on YouTube.

The Manchester City star responded with laughter, dismissing the idea and stating that he would rather communicate through words than resort to physical confrontations.

The Norwegian was asked that question in an appearance on YouTube and WWE sensation Logan Paul’s ‘Impaulsive’ podcast, and the City star laughed it off, insisting that he prefers to speak instead of using his fists.

Paul’s co-host Mike Majlak asked Haaland: “Could you ever see yourself stepping into the ring and going up against like [Kylian] Mbappe or just not anybody specifically…”

Haaland tried to play it safe and responded while laughing: “No… I’m not, I’m not really into fighting uh, to be honest. I prefer just to speak so no, not really, no not really.”

Despite being recently honored with the 2022-23 PFA Player of the Year award, Haaland has seldom engaged in on-field altercations with opponents. Remarkably, he has never received a red card throughout his career.

Now, Haaland’s focus will shift back to his primary strength: goal scoring. Manchester City is set to return to the field on Saturday, facing Fulham in a Premier League match.
