Former Maverick Deron Williams to fight former NFL running back Frank Gore

Because we are in a never-ending loop of absurdity, former Dallas Mavericks point guard Deron Williams has agreed to fight former NFL running back Frank Gore in a boxing match on December 18 in Tampa, Florida. The fight is part of the undercard for the Jake Paul-Tommy Fury pay-per-view.

The fight is scheduled for four rounds and contracted for 215 pounds. It will be the pro boxing debut for both men. Gore, who is 38, has been training in boxing for years, per ESPN. Williams has been into MMA for sometime and is the part-owner of Fortis MMA gym in Dallas.
