Neymar hires UFC fighter Nordine Taleb as a bodyguard
NEYMAR has hired a UFC fighter as his personal bodyguard after his £198million from Barcelona to PSG made him the world’s most expensive footballer.
French powerhouse Nordine Taleb has been appointed the Brazilian’s human shield to keep him out of danger in Paris.
The welterweight brawler had two fights in 2017, a defeat in February and a win last time out in May over last-minute stand-in Oliver Enkamp, before joining Team Neymar.
The 6ft 1in star lost his original opponent Emil Weber Meek to injury two weeks out and felt he had little to prove by winning the unanimous points decision.
