“I’ve had a couple of calls recently in regards to that. I’ll be following up on that soon — so it could go up or down depending on the outcome of that,” Akinfenwa said.
The 38-year-old also announced he’d “fancy his chances” in a Royal Rumble against other physical players such as Virgil van Dijk, Adama Traore and Troy Deeney.
“That’s something I’d want to win, obviously — and there’s some tough lads out there, you know. But I back myself 100 percent!” he joked.
