Boxing Turned Into WWE: Fans Call Out Deron Williams and Frank Gore for WWE Style Boxing Bout

Deron Williams and Frank Gore collided in the boxing ring in one of the best celebrity crossover contests recently. But though it was a boxing match, the two performed some grappling and pushing as well. During the second round, Williams first shoved Gore backward and pushed him through the ropes. Later on, Gore returned the favor. Gore pulled off a similar move on the opposite side of the ring.

It looked more like a WWE match at that moment to the audience. Pushing and grappling is not allowed in professional boxing and that is the reason fans called it out a WWE-style fight. Over the past few years, professional boxing has seen many celebrities such as Jake and Logan Paul, KSI, Tyron Woodley, and even Conor McGregor take a shot at the sport.

However, the inclusion of celebrities and the outcomes of their matches have led fans to wonder if pro Boxing is slowly turning into WWE as the outcomes seem predetermined to some. On Twitter, people reacted through several tweets. Some fans sarcastically claimed that Deron Williams thought he was in the WWE.

One fan tweeted Williams is a bad boxer and should be in the WWE instead. Another fan mentioned Frank Gore and Deron Williams are destined to be in the WWE.

In an interesting tweet, a fan claimed Frank Gore and Deron Williams thought they were at WrestleMania.

Either way, Deron Williams and Frank Gore had a fun bout last night that’ll definitely be cherished for years to come. Yes, it’s debatable whether or not the bout was purely boxing. But in the end, entertainment wins!
