While both Andrade and Corbin hails from two different sports, ‘Boo Boo’ still hasn’t revealed the type of contest he is interested in. However, he is ready to surpass the boxing elites and the mandatory challengers to seal a matchup against ‘The Lone Wolf’. That said, Baron Corbin has been a boxer in the past.

Corbin had a short-lived boxing career from 2007  to 2011, which saw him take part in the Golden Gloves National Tournament in 2008. So, Demetrius Andrade took to social media and called him out for a face-off.

What’s in store for Demetrius Andrade boxing?

A few days back, it was rumored that Andrade can also collide with IBF and IBO titleholder Gennady Golovkin. So, it’s safe to state that Andrade will have to remain active in boxing.

Being a world champion, he cannot stack up the roster. He will either have to fight or vacate his spot. However, as Andrade considers a fight against Corbin to be beneficial, he might not hesitate to vacate his WBO title.

Boxers calling out WWE stars is nothing new. In recent times, Tyson Fury went to the WWE to battle Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel in 2019. Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua has also hinted at participating in WWE after retiring from boxing.

So, it’s not strange to envision Andrade against Corbin, especially when the WBO champion is eager for the challenge.

Do you think Demetrius Andrade vs Baron Corbin will ever happen?
