Cristiano Ronaldo is being pushed to make a sudden entry into boxing.
KSI has claimed “something could happen” in a high-profile fight for the Portuguese star.
KSI, 31, made his name on YouTube but has also founded Misfits Boxing, which sees social media stars compete in the ring.
Now he has suggested 39-year-old Ronaldo should change his shoes and wear gloves.
One suggestion that was made was pitting Ronaldo against another former Manchester United player, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
he told talkSPORT: “U never know.
“He versus Ibrahimovic, it could be something special.”
Ronaldo is currently playing football for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League but he is a fan of boxing.
The forward’s mega-contract is set to expire at the end of this season, and there is no information on an extension as of now.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has previously claimed he is keen to continue his on-field career until he is forty.

However, he has started taking steps towards his career after retirement.
This includes starting his own YouTube channel, which already has millions of subscribers.
KSI spoke about the forward’s immediate success on stage.
He said: “Ronaldo is making a splash with his YouTube channel.”
“He’s already hit 30 million, and it’s been less than a day.
“He’s done a good job, but he’s one of the most famous people in the world, so you expect that from him.”
KSI currently has seven fights lined up, including former Premier League winner Danny Simpson, who will take on YouTuber Danny Aarons.
KSI is excited about the fight and wants to see how the pair perform in their first boxing encounter.
He said, “It will be exciting to see them both clash as this is the first time they will be in the ring.”
