Former NFL running back Frank Gore made his professional boxing debut over the weekend and walked away with the KO victory.

The 39-year old Gore celebrated his birthday by landing a right hand in the fourth round that sent opponent Yaya Olorunsola falling face first to the canvas at Gamebred Boxing 1 in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Frank Gore played sixteen seasons in the NFL for five different teams. Best-known for his career with the San Francisco 49ers, Gore was selected for the NFL’s Pro Bowl five times and retired with the third-most rushing yards in NFL history.

It wasn’t long ago that Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr called out ESPN commentators Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman to fight in the UFC.

In fact, Carr went as far as tagging UFC President Dana White and the UFC on Twitter, asking if they could set up such a contest. Of course, no response was given to the request, and Carr backed off of the matter soon after. Speaking to ESPN MMA, White was asked about Carr calling out Kellerman and Smith to fight in the UFC.

White found it amusing, but admitted he can relate to the NFL star. He said there are a few media guys he’d like to fight himself (via MMA Mania):

“Hey, there’s some media guys out there I wanna fight too,” White said. “You wouldn’t do it, but I get where he’s coming from. It’s tough. I’ve been in the business for a long time now, it’s tough for these guys to sit back and hear these guys criticize them and rip them apart every day.”

White credited Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James for how he handles such criticisms. Being arguably the biggest star in all of sports, James is subject to criticism every which way he turns. White saying he can relate to Carr’s comments don’t come as too much of a surprise.

Especially considering all the bad blood he has had with certain media members over the years. Those issues don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.

It’s no secret that the UFC has emerged as one of the bigger sports franchises in the world in recent years.

So much so, in fact, that other athletes now want to settle their differences with their opposition inside the Octagon. Take NFL star and Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr for example. He isn’t too fond of ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith. Despite the fact that Carr signed a five-year, $125 million contract extension with the Raiders in 2017, there has been speculation that he could be on his way out.

The Raiders had a terrible season at 4-12, with new head coach Jon Gruden making some questionable decisions in regards to trades. Perhaps one could be coming for Carr as well. On a recent episode of ESPN’s “First Take,” hosts Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman speculated that Gruden is ready to part ways with Carr, instead giving Oklahoma star Kyler Murray a shot.

Kellerman went on to question Carr’s character, claiming the quarterback doesn’t want “it.” Carr was upset by this, and took to Twitter to voice his frustrations. He want as far as asking the UFC and President Dana White if they could arrange a fight between him and the pair:

“@ufc@danawhite hey how do I challenge a couple of these clowns on tv to a fight? I think we should start a business together. Where pro athletes can challenge some of these people to an octagon fight until they give us an answer…. You don’t know me… stop lying.”

“Yes..say what you want but don’t question somebodies character as a man if you don’t know them. Our job as NFL athletes is to try and leave the game better for the next generations. So let’s start an octagon business to give some accountability to these kinds of people.”

Smith responded to Carr’s challenge in a recent series of Tweets:

“Hey @derekcarrqb…..I heard you had a few things to say. Consider this a personal invitation. You are more than welcome to come on @FirstTake or sit down with me for a 1-on-1. I’m here, Bro! Nobody hiding.”

“Here’s the question: why is he talking about getting ME in the octagon instead of a UFC fighter, @danawhite. What do I have to do with the sorry-ass season the @Raiders. All I did was observe. But I’ll deal with this on @FirstTake. Yo, @derekcarrqb: Wrong Brother!”

The sports book, Bovada, has released bettings odds for Carr vs. Smith in what they call “Celebrity Boxing.” Smith is actually listed as a slight favorite over the Raiders’ signal caller:
