Sources claim that Adrian Peterson and Le’Veon Bell are running backs who have signed deals to host a July boxing show.

Bell and Peterson will meet undercard to Social Gloves 2, which Austin McBroom, a YouTube star, promoted. McBroom faces fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib during the main event. Blueface, a rapper, takes on Nick Young, a former NBA player.

Peterson, 37 is a former MVP and is currently No. 5. On the NFL’s career running yards list.

Peterson, who is currently a free-agent, played four games last season. He split his time between the Seattle Seahawks (the Tennessee Titans) and Seattle Seahawks (the Seahawks). Peterson plans to retire from the Minnesota Vikings.

Bell, who is 30 years old and is a free agent, can also be signed. Bell, 30, was a free agent. He played five games with the Baltimore Ravens last season and three with Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is best remembered for his time playing with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
