There’s something interesting in store for the next celebrity boxing match – the one and only Joe “Baby Joe” Castaneda is stepping into the ring with none other than former NFL star Adrian Peterson! This is going to be one heck of a showdown.
Baby Joe, known for his quick feet and knockout punches, is not one to back down from a challenge. And Adrian Peterson, well, we all know he’s got that strength and determination from his football days. It’s going to be a clash of titans, that’s for sure.
The promotion’s founder, Damon Feldman, tells us … Joe “Baby Joe” Castaneda agreed to a scrap with Peterson this week — and formally put pen to a pact on Tuesday.
Peterson’s yet to ink his deal … but Feldman tells us he’s expecting that to happen soon.
It, of course, will be a rematch from May 27 — when the guys duked it out at a social club in Houston, Texas over a hand of cards.
Castaneda told us Peterson had been trash-talking one of his friends while sitting at the felt … and when he called for the ex-Vikings running back to stop, “that’s when the melee kind of broke out.”
Both guys were injured in the dispute, but they’ve each admitted they have no lingering bad blood toward one another — which ultimately seems to have paved the way for their upcoming bout in between the ropes.
No fight night date has been set just yet … but Castaneda said in a statement to us on Tuesday, “Time to get in shape and sharpening up these hands to put on a show!!!”
So mark your calendars and get ready for some serious action. This is going to be a match you won’t want to miss!
