Misfits promoter Mams Taylor has spoken out about the possibility of Ibrahimovic fighting.
“I tried to convince Zlatan and he can fight. I’m good friends with his manager and the three of us talked on FaceTime.
“It was really nippy because he saw a lot of Misfits fights and followed them. He was a kickboxer and would have been good too.
“But yes, there are other names that are not as renowned as these guys, but they are still very respected and have achieved a lot that is of interest.
“And since it’s so realistic that these guys will fight, I won’t mention their names.”
‘The Gypsy King’ will face long-time rival Anthony Joshua at the end of the year after they have been on a collision course for over a decade, but Fury has stated he would like one more fight before facing ‘AJ’.

Frank Warren described the Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley fight as the greatest heavyweight fight he had ever seen.
Wardley activated his rematch clause against Dubois, and Warren discussed how large their second fight could be.
The pair faced off just over a week ago in Manchester ahead of a record turnout for the boxing event taking place at the Co-op Live venue.
“DDD” defeated Wardley despite hitting the canvas in the first and third rounds. He put together a series of attacks, forcing the referee to stop the fight in the 11th round.
Promoter Warren announced immediately after the final bell that the former world champion had the option of a rematch with “Dynamite.”
Warren spoke to a man from Ipswich who triggered the option TalkSports about how monumental a rematch could be.
“I really believe it will end in the stadium.
“I think it will happen. This heavyweight division is very stimulating, there are so many great fights.”
Many were surprised that Wardley made the rematch happen just six days after the loss after the damage he sustained in combat.
Queensberry can confirm that Fabio Wardley has activated his rematch clause following his defeat in last week’s WBO world title fight against Daniel Dubois at Co-op Live in Manchester.

His coach, Ben Davison, has faced criticism on social media, with some believing he should have withdrawn his player before the referee was forced to step in.
He talked to Ade Oladipo Professional boxing fans and admitted that he expected the 31-year-old would have to leave the ring for a longer time.
“I said Fabio needs a break and I love him more than most, but I said, ‘Fabio, four of your last five fights have been complex.
“It’s complex physically, mentally, emotionally; you can say, ‘You know what, I’ll stop for a while and come back.'”
Oladipo continued to explain why Wardley might want an immediate rematch and where his motivations might come from.

“We are just people saying this. Fabio is not a normal man, he is not a normal person and he wants to get his belts back.
“Let’s also not forget that he had a tough fight with Frazer Clark, immediately retaliated and knocked him out after about a minute, so he will have the confidence to hurt Daniel.
“He’ll think, ‘I knocked him down twice, I hurt him on multiple occasions.’
“The most vital factor is the paycheck, the paycheck will be much bigger and it will go to the stadium. Why would you turn that down?”
With just 10 days since their first fight, it will likely be some time before an official announcement is made regarding the date or location of the pair’s rematch, although Warren has raised the possibility of a November clash as a stadium rematch now seems inevitable.
