Who said you could be the best at only one sport discipline? If you ever hear someone say something like that, show them this and correct them.
Frank Gore is known as the third-best running back of all time in the NFL , based on the numbers he posted during the 16 seasons he played football. He has a total of 16,000 running yards, 3,735 carries, and 81 touchdowns.
He also holds the record for the most games played by a running back in the NFL, with 241 games.
He was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2005 Draft and during the 10 seasons he participated with the Californian team he was the leader in rushing yards and was also selected to the Pro Bowl five times. He also played for the Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, and New York Jets.
Frank Gore got tired of shining on the grid and announced his retirement this year.
His future plans are still linked to sports, but now he is trying to make his way in boxing.
Frank Gore debuts in boxing
Frank Gore made his debut in the ring this Saturday, May 14, the day he celebrated his 39th birthday. What better way for the former runner to celebrate than knocking out his opponent Yaya Olorunsola in the fourth round?
Frank Gore showed that he is skilled with his fists, as a left jab and right hook were enough to earn him the KO victory.
The instant Frank Gore defeated Olorunsola, he posted it on his Twitter account.
Although this is not his first approach to boxing, it is the first time he has done it professionally, having fought former NBA basketball star Deron Williams in an exhibition battle on December 2. In that duel, he lost by split decision.
In a few more years, it appears like he will be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame, so, until that moment comes, we will undoubtedly see him in the ring several more times.
