Former Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson was seen getting into a fist fight with professional poker player, Joe “Baby Joe” Castaneda. Now, the two rivals have signed for a Celebrity Boxing match, which will be set for some time in the near future. After their near brawls, this will be the perfect opportunity for both Peterson and Castaneda to release all the pent-up tension between them.
Adrian Peterson shares preparation video for his upcoming boxing match
Earlier this year, Adrian Peterson and Joe “Baby Joe” Castaneda had a disagreement during a game of poker which led to a physical altercation between the two of them. Then again, on May 27, a game of Poker led to another altercation that went viral. Celebrity Boxing founder Damon Feldman thus got the two of them to come forth for a boxing match, while he still irons out all the kinks before the two get inside a ring.Ahead of their match, NFL legend Peterson has shared a video of his training session. Sporting a maroon tee, grey shorts, and black shoes, he gloved up for his upcoming match against his nemesis. The running back looked sharp as he practiced his moves with a training partner. TMZ shared the video, writing:”Adrian Peterson’s begun training for his celebrity boxing match with his poker rival … and while his hands could certainly use some more sharpening, it’s clear he’s in great shape.”While fans are yet to be informed of when and where the match will take place, both men are getting ready to gain the upper hand before they have to fight it out with each other.
Baby Joe is not slacking on getting prepped for the match
Joe “Baby Joe” Castaneda, the professional poker player who is getting ready for his first bout inside a boxing ring, is not slacking off. Similar to his opponent, he too has been preparing for the upcoming match and has hired combat sports coach Teddy Concepcion to train him. Both of them have signed with Celeb Boxing for their boxing match, and we will get to know the details soon.After their fight over a poker game dispute, Adrian Peterson had apologized, saying he “felt really bad” over what happened and did “regret” that things turned nasty. But that’s not going to stop either of them from coming after each other inside the ring. Peterson already has prior experience with the matter when he faced fellow former NFL running back Le’Veon Bell back in 2022. Though he lost out on his first outing, maybe this time his luck has turned for him. Also Read: NFL legend Adrian Peterson signs Celebrity Boxing deal to fight poker rival in surprise ring battle
