Last month, a weird story emerged that former NFL running back Adrian Peterson got into a fist fight over a poker game. Now that story is getting even weirder.
Peterson has signed up for a celebrity boxing match, and his opponent will be the guy he fought at the poker game, Joe Castaneda, according to TMZ.com.
The 40-year-old Peterson has boxed once before, and it did not go well for him, as he was knocked out by former NFL running back Le’Veon Bell.
Peterson has had a rough go of it lately, with legal issues within the past year ranging from failing to appear in court in child support cases to a misdemeanor assault to a driving while intoxicated arrest.
Peterson was the 2012 NFL Most Valuable Player, the 2007 NFL offensive rookie of the year and a four-time first-team All-Pro.
