Nick Kyrgios will form part of the BBC’s Wimbledon coverage during the tournament this summer.

The 29-year-old has played just one competitive match over the past two years owing to knee and wrist injuries, but impressed in the commentary box during the Australian Open in January. 

Kyrgios has indicated that his recovery is going well and he will be back on the court soon with ‘fire in his belly’, but according to The Sun, he will be providing his insight from the sideline this year.

The Australian worked on Eurosport at Melbourne Park this year but is expected to be on the BBC with the likes of Claire Balding, John McEnroe and Tim Henman. 

Kyrgios has been exploring his options for life after tennis, with punditry an obvious pathway for the opinionated talent. He also hinted at a possible sporting switch, which may shock fans.

One fan asked the former world No.13 if he would take a boxing fight and Kyrgios replied that he was very interested in the idea.

‘Yeah I would, at the end of my tennis career,’ said Kyrgios.

‘There are a couple of people I’d call out.’

One fan then asked him if he would take on broadcaster Piers Morgan, who he has clashed with in the past.

‘Nah we are friends now!’ said the Aussie.

Kyrgios’s divisive antics would make any boxing match featuring him a sure-fire money spinner for promoters – and one person he might want to call out is former arch rival Bernard Tomic, who challenged him to a boxing match in 2022.

Tomic said he wanted to settle the long-running grudge between the pair with a tennis match – or on the basketball court or in a boxing ring.

‘First things first, let’s set the record straight here,’ Tomic said in a video.
