The one and only Chad Ochocinco is stepping into the boxing ring.
It had previously been reported that the former NFL wide receiver would be competing in an exhibition boxing match on the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul pay-per-view card, and now we know an opponent.
Surprisingly, Ochocinco won’t be getting some random person or a celebrity, but an actual experienced fighter.
Brian Maxwell, a former mixed martial arts fighter, boxer, and current bare-knuckle boxer for Bare Knuckle FC, will be stepping into the ring to take on the 43-year-old former NFL player.

Kudos to Ochocinco for taking on a real challenge.
Johnson is an avid combat fan and can regularly be seen at UFC events, and he has also spent time training at Mayweather’s boxing gym.
We will have to see how he is able to handle himself in the ring.
The Mayweather vs. Paul Showtime pay-per-view is set to take place on June 6 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. The pay-per-view will cost $49.99.
