Adrian Peterson in a boxing ring? Insert your Adrian Peterson isn’t afraid of contact comment wherever you’d like, but there’s no way anyone who’s ever said as much thought the former NFL All-Pro would be squeezing hits hands into boxing gloves and taking punches to the face.
According to TMZ, Peterson is “in talks” and it’s “just a matter of time” before he’s cemented to fight former Steelers and Jets running back Le’Veon Bell at YouTuber Austin McBroom’s Social Gloves event in Los Angeles next month.
