Former pro basketball star Deron Williams and former pro football standout Frank Gore will not be competing in a pro boxing match anymore.
Oh don’t worry, the fight is still on, but it’s been relegated to exhibition status. ESPN’s Marc Raimondi reported the change on Friday.
So think of it like those ridiculous Triller exhibitions from a couple of months ago except everyone knows ahead of time that Williams-Gore is an exhibition and not an actual professional matchup.
Williams is best known for his days in the NBA, where he starred for the Utah Jazz and later the Brooklyn Nets.
