‘I like to create chaos’: David Bentley back in spotlight for charity boxing bout with Jody Morris

‘I like to create chaos’: David Bentley back in spotlight for charity boxing bout with Jody Morris

Former England midfielder David Bentley is set to participate in a charity boxing bout against Jody Morris on Saturday. Bentley, known for his audacious and disruptive nature, has always embraced challenges, even if they can be to his detriment. In 2008, while on England duty, he got involved in a lighthearted game with Jimmy Bullard, which led to him being dropped by manager Fabio Capello. Bentley's defiance and refusal to back down have often landed him in trouble, as evidenced by his encounter with Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira when he refused to vacate the latter's seat in the canteen. This incident resulted in Bentley being excluded from the team's social activities and facing constant kicking in training. The upcoming boxing match is seen as an opportunity for Bentley to show his children that he can fight, as he continues to embrace his reputation as a disruptor.
