Le’Veon Bell and Adrian Peterson are well-known for their star running backs in NFL. But this summer, they’ll be fighting in the boxing ring. According to ESPN, Bell and Peterson have signed contracts for a boxing show that will be held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on July 30, according to ESPN.
Austin McBroom, a YouTuber, is hosting a Social Gloves Event. It was recently announced that Bell would be participating. It was unknown who Bell’s opponent would be up until now. However, it appears that another running back will join him in the ring.
Let’s take a look at what happened to the tape between these two players.
Let’s take a look at their differences:
Both players were considered to be the best at their positions not too long ago. Bell, who was only a brief player with the Ravens or Buccaneers last season, was an All Pro during the 2014-2017 seasons. Bell broke Steelers’ single-game rush records in 2016 and 2017. Peterson, a 2010 All-Decade performer, won his third title as a rushing champion in 2015, at the age of 30. Peterson, like Bell, saw very little playing time last season as he was playing for the Titans or Seahawks.
Bell has been passionate about boxing since childhood. He used boxing as cardio during his time in Pittsburgh. Bell’s love for boxing grew in 2018 when he was away from football.
Bell stated that he was always looking for ways to improve his health when discussing his boxing program. Bell said that he wanted his body in good shape, so as the season approaches you will start to see that shape change. Boxing is for my cardio and stamina. It’s different from football. I try to keep my joints as healthy as possible in the offseason, but still get cardio. Instead of doing lots of drills and cutting, I have been boxing training.
