Adrian Peterson put up little resistance against Le’Veon Bell in the ring this past weekend, so now Bell is hoping for a bigger challenge. Appearing this week on “BS w/ Jake Paul,” the former NFL running back Bell called out the opponent that he would like to box next.
Deron Williams won his pro boxing debut on Saturday night, and he is going out while he is on top.
The two players are the same age, and Williams was selected one pick ahead of Paul in the 2005 draft.
A comparison was drawn between Williams and Robinson, another former basketball star who got knocked out in embarrassing fashion by YouTube star Jake Paul last year.
Gore ranks third on the NFL’s all-time rushing list. We have no idea what to expect from a fight between him and Williams, but fans of multiple sports should be intrigued.
Williams was chosen third overall by the Utah Jazz in the 2005 NBA Draft and over his 12-year NBA career, he earned All-Star appearances in three straight seasons between 2009 and 2012.
Gore, 38, said in September that he has been training for both boxing and football. He is not officially retired from the NFL, but he has not received significant interest from teams.
