Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has a vast array of skills on the football pitch, and it turns out he’s also a black belt in taekwondo.

Given some of the acrobatic goals he’s scored down the years, as well as his supreme overall fitness that has kept him going at the top level of football even as he reaches the age of 35, that perhaps shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise.

Still, Ibrahimovic may now face a new kind of challenge – actually putting his skills to the test against someone who does it for a living.

UFC star Danny ‘Hot Chocolate’ Roberts has called out the Swede, in what would undoubtedly be superb entertainment.

‘If he’s willing to fight I’m here,’ he said. ‘Yeah I’d like to see him in the Octagon, see what he’s got.

‘At the same time it would probably add a little bit more value to us and what we do.’

Someone make this happen!
