From Poker to Punches: Joe 'Baby Joe' Castaneda Dares Adrian Peterson to Settle Their Beef in the Boxing Ring

Adrian Peterson, the ex-NFL sensation renowned for his electrifying performances, finds himself amidst an intriguing off-field dilemma. His poker rival, Joe “Baby Joe” Castaneda, has issued a bold challenge, urging Peterson to resolve their ongoing dispute in a boxing ring. Castaneda, who recently engaged in a heated altercation with Peterson at a Houston social club over a card game, stated this week that he wouldn’t refuse a chance to face Peterson in a boxing match if approached by a celebrity boxing promoter. He emphasized that appropriate financial arrangements would sway his decision, indicating a willingness to step back into the ring. “I wouldn’t shy away from it,” asserted the 47-year-old professional poker player. While it's uncertain whether the 40-year-old Peterson would accept, he has dabbled in celebrity boxing before, having fought former NFL player Le’Veon Bell, albeit not with the most favorable outcome. Can Peterson navigate the boxing realm successfully? Time will reveal the answer.
