“You Guys That Desperate for Cash?”: RB vs. RB Boxing Match Between Le’Veon Bell and Adrian Peterson Announcement Leaves Fans Stunned

Who knew there’s more to the NFL than just football? Star running backs from the Seahawks and Buccaneers are going to lock horns in an exhibition boxing match- set to take place on 30th July. The match would take place at the crypto.com arena in Los Angeles, California. Le’Veon Bell revealed the details of the boxing match on his Twitter through a post.

Boxing has long been a passion for Bell. He had used boxing as an active cardio workout during his time with the Steelers. His zeal for boxing increased when he took some time off from football in 2018.

Referring to his fascination for boxing, Bell said, “I want my body to be in great shape so as the season comes closer you’ll start seeing that form to take shape. Boxing is just to help with my cardio and my stamina. It’s a little different than football, and I try to stay off my joints in the offseason as much as possible. Still get cardio.”

Both have the same height and similar weight category for the matchup. Therefore, it will be an exciting watch for the fans. However, fans were shocked upon hearing the news of this boxing match and reacted in absurd ways.
