Former pro-athletes Deron Williams and Frank Gore will be facing off in a boxing match on the Jake Paul-Tyron Woodley undercard. You, like many other people, probably made a face when the fight was announced. Was the announcement real? But also, why? Neither athlete appears to need the money. So why exactly would either one of them agree to a boxing match? The answer is simple: competition. Most pro athletes struggle with filling the void left by competition on the highest level when their career’s come to an end. Sports is all they’ve ever known. It’s been their singular purpose in life and these players are now tasked with suddenly rediscovering who they are away from the game they love.
