Roo climbs in the ring with footie rival Noel

Football ace Wayne Rooney is facing a wonderbrawl with Oasis legend Noel Gallagher in the boxing ring.

The sworn soccer enemies will each carry title belts for world champ Ricky Hatton when he fights in Las vegas next month.

Manchester United star Wayne, 21, and guitarist Noel, 39, are both massive fans of ring king Ricky, 28.

They leapt at the chance to accompany him into the ring for his IBO light welterweight fight against Mexico's Jose Luis Casillo on June 23.

But rivalry could flare between United striker Wayne and Manchester City fan Noel.

"We hope the main fight takes place inside the ring and doesn't involve Wayne or Noel," said a boxing insider.

They are both passionate about their clubs and neither has a reputation for backing down. We're relying on the fact they'll put their football rivalry aside.

"Ricky himself is a massive City fan but really appreciates the backing he gets from the United team."

And Wayne can rely on the support of his team mates Rio Ferdinand, 28, John O'Shea,26 and Wes brown, 27, who will be in the audience for the fight.
