Adrian Peterson and Le’Veon Bell, two former All-Pro running backs, have signed contracts for a heavyweight boxing exhibition on July 30 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, sources told ESPN on Monday.
Both former All-Pro running backs will be competing in a boxing ring for the first time, but since it’s an exhibition, the fight won’t officially mark their pro boxing debuts.
The deal continues a trend of big-time athletes and social media stars crossing over into boxing.
