Bardsley and Wazza made headlines with their antics in 2015, with video footage exclusively revealed by SunSport capturing the moment their gaming fight took a serious turn.
The ex-Manchester United pals were seen running around Rooney's kitchen wearing boxing gloves.
But the English legend ended up being knocked out on the ground after taking a stray hit from Bardsley.
The moment went viral and even landed Rooney in hot water with then United boss Louis van Gaal.
The pair have since had very different careers, with Bardsley retiring from playing last summer and Rooney being sacked as Birmingham manager in January.
But Bardsley admits he would love to be reunited with Rooney for a good showing in the boxing ring.
His offer comes after Wazza was lined up for a big-money career change at KSI'S Misfits Boxing.
Reflecting on the infamous kitchen KO, Bardsley shared talkSPORT: “It was at his house, we were watching a few Super Sunday games and had a lot of them, probably too many than we should have to be honest.

“But boys will be boys, it was a Sunday afternoon, we got a bit carried away. We ended up back at Wayne's house, had a bit of an argument, one thing led to another and the next thing you know there was blood all over the room.” kitchen and all kinds.
“The video was circulated, which from a point of view is a bit embarrassing considering he was captain at United at the time and I was at Stoke.
“It was a bit embarrassing at the time, but it is what it is: it's one of those things where you've probably had too much to drink.
“We'd all had a few drinks so it was one of those. The timing was just right, my shot is pretty accurate to be honest.”
Bardsley then revealed he would like to fight Rooney in a boxing match, possibly for charity.
He added: “Yes probably. Of course, a donation to a charity of our choice and all that would be a bit of fun. Why not?
“I think he obviously has a much bigger name than me, but he would definitely sell out an arena, I'm sure.”
However, when speaking about The Overlap, Rooney insisted his priority was to return to football.
On the discussions with Misfits, he said: They have been in touch and asked the question, but I think at the moment I want to focus on my return to management.
“There's been a few, obviously there's been Misfits, and that's been all over the news.
“But I want to get back into management, that's my focus.”
