Who saw this coming?
A boxing match is being set between two NFL running backs. Per TMZ Sports, Adrian Peterson is set to become Le’Veon Bell’s opponent at Crypto.com Arena next month.
The fight is set to take place on Jul. 30th.
Peterson, a 4-time first-team All-Pro and 7-time Pro Bowler, last played in the NFL as a member of the Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks in 2021.
Bell, a a 2-time first-team All-Pro and 3-time Pro Bowler, played for the Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021.
Peterson had agreed to complete 20 sessions of domestic violence and alcohol counseling within the next six months following his February arrest on suspicion of domestic violence. He had plans on continuing his NFL career, but his arrest likely threw a monkey wrench in his plans. He ranks fifth in NFL history with 14,918 career rushing yards.
