It has been an interesting few years for Nick Young. The former NBA star known as “Swaggy P” will be going from the basketball court to the boxing ring on July 30, when he takes on Blueface. They will be fighting inside Cyrpto.com Arena.
The fight will be a part of the „No More Talk” boxing card presented by Social Gloves. The main event will see Austin McBroom take on AnEsonGib, with NFL stars Adrian Peterson and Leon Bell fighting one another.
Young, 37, was drafted by the Washington Wizards in the 2007 NBA Draft. He played with the team from 2007-2012 before being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. After a quick stint with the 76ers, Young signed with the Lakers in 2013 spending four years with the team.
In 2017, Young joined the Warriors, helping Golden State win the 2018 NBA Finals.
Young’s NBA career came to a close when he signed with the Nuggets in December 2018 and was waived just a couple of weeks later, appearing in just four games.
As far as how he sees a fight with Blueface going, Young is confident. Even with his lack of abilities in the ring, “Swaggy P” believes he has an edge over his opponent. He told TMZ he would beat him in the first round.
„He’s a rapper,” Young said. „They’ve got to be in the studio all night. You’ve got to drink, you’ve got to smoke. We don’t do that type of stuff.”
