In his NBA career, Williams averaged over 16 points. He was a potent point guard, particularly shining for the Utah Jazz. Having the build for boxing, it doesn’t come as that big of a surprise that the 3-time All-star opted to enter the ring. As reported by Shams Charania, the 2-time Olympic gold medalist is determined to fight in the undercard bout towards the end of the year. His opponent is reportedly NFL’s Frank Gore, who is third on the all-time rushing yards list. Thus, the event has only gotten bigger and better with the inclusion of the league legend.
