Le’Veon Bell’s primetime boxing debut will have to wait. The Social Gloves 2 event which was previously scheduled for July 30 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles has been postponed due to an injury by Aneson Gib, who was headlining the event alongside Austin McBroom. A statement announcing the postponement was posted on the Social Gloves Twitter account.
For Bell, it’s just another hit for a career that really stalled out after leaving Pittsburgh. After signing his mega-deal with the New York Jets, he bounced around the league and is out of the NFL entirely right now and already announced he won’t play this upcoming season as he shifts his focus to boxing.
