Rooney will be a player/manager for England, with Fury, Harry Redknapp, Vicky McLure and David James on the touchline.
Peter Schmeichel will be in charge of the World XI, along with Emmett J. Scanlan and Martin Compston.
Fury spoke about the privilege of helping manage the England team when his involvement was announced earlier this year.
He said: "The prospect of leading my England team to victory this June fills me with just as much excitement as any heavyweight fight.
"Everyone knows that I am a huge Manchester United fan too, so it's even more special for me that the game is at Old Trafford this year.
"And I get to manage one of my heroes, Wayne Rooney."
Meanwhile, Rooney added: "I'm a big boxing fan, so to do it alongside Tyson Fury is fantastic. We have this in common - we'll both be taking it incredibly seriously.
"It's great to lace up the old boots again - and see some old friends."
