Last July, we reported that Le'veon Bell was going to face Adrian Peterson in a boxing match.
It was last night, live from Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles, that the fight took place. The two NFL players competed as part of the Social Gloves Entertainments event, a platform that often organizes fights in between YouTube or TikTok stars.
In the 5th round, Bell knocked out his opponent who was forced to return in his corner after the referee ruled that the fight was over. Here a video from Twitter account PFF where you can see the punch from the former Pittsburgh Steelers running back.
Purple Jesus, 37, went on his knee then on the floor after that violent hit.
30 years old Bell will not play in the NFL this season. As he said weeks ago, he wants to focus on his boxing career.
