Former NFL RB Frank Gore wins pro boxing debut via KO

Frank Gore is making the leap from professional football player to professional boxer, and his first step went pretty well. For him, at least.

The former San Francisco 49ers running back and potential Hall of Famer defeated Yaya Olorunsola via a brutal fourth-round knockout in his professional boxing debut on Saturday. The bout took place at Gamebred Boxing 1 in Biloxi, Mississippi.

As you can see, Gore left Olorunsola, who entered with an 0-1 pro boxing record, unconscious on the floor.

Gore had previously fought former NBA All-Star Deron Williams in an exhibition bout originally intended to be professionally sanctioned, losing via split decision on the Jake Paul-Tyron Woodley rematch card.
