In the latest slate of celebrity boxing matches, former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell is slated to face off against former NFL running back Adrian Peterson on July 30 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, according to ESPN.
Bell and Peterson join other celebrities such as former NBA player Nick Young and rapper Blueface on the card. The event, Social Gloves 2, is being promoted by YouTuber Austin McBroom, who will fight in the main event.
The absurdity of these boxing matches cannot be understated. For one, the fights are exhibitions, which means that they don’t count for any sort of professional record.
