Adrian Peterson to face Le’Veon Bell in celebrity boxing match next month

There was a time when Adrian Peterson and Le’Veon Bell were both in the conversation about who was the best running back in the National Football League. A month from now, they’ll meet in a completely different setting.

Numerous sources are reporting that Peterson and Bell will meet in a celebrity boxing match on 30 July in Los Angeles. The match is a part of an event called “Social Gloves 2,” which is being organized by a YouTuber named Austin McBroom.

We’re way into the upside down, aren’t we, folks?

Peterson, who last played for the Vikings in 2016, has bounced around the league since Minnesota released him after that season.
