JuJu Smith-Schuster Would Like To Box Antonio Brown: ‘I’d Definitely Call Out AB’

How a lot would you pay to see JuJu Smith-Schuster and Antonio Brown in a boxing match…and who would you wish to win? As a result of not less than one of many two former Pittsburgh Steelers vast receiver is on board with it.

The previous lately participated in a podcast with Ryan Garcia, Fierce Speak, by which the now free agent vast receiver mentioned quite a lot of subjects. At one level, he was requested, ‘should you might name out anybody and why, who would it not be’, that means who would he select to field.

“We talked about this a number of occasions. I’d positively name out AB”, he stated, with an enormous smile on his face. The 2 had been teammates in 2017 and 2018 throughout Smith-Schuster’s first two seasons within the league earlier than Brown pressured his approach off the crew. However this doesn’t seem like mean-spirited in any approach.

However, the social media-savvy 24-year-old made it clear that he is aware of his remark will create buzz, joking, “that is about to be the thumbnail” for the video. However he reiterated that movie star boxing is one thing that that they had talked about. “We talked about this on a regular basis, and it was like, man, if we might have any individual like DJ Khaled combat, like, E40, or T-Ache versus like Future or one thing…”.

The 2 on the floor appeared to have relationship, and Smith-Schuster clearly tried as a lot as he might to be the coed to the instructor. When he got here into the league, Brown was among the many prime gamers within the recreation, and the rookie, not even sufficiently old to drink, we simply making an attempt to be taught as a lot as he might.

However Brown appeared to activate him over time, significantly whereas he was making an attempt to orchestrate his approach out of Pittsburgh. Smith-Schuster fumbled late in a loss in opposition to the New Orleans Saints in a recreation that misplaced the Steelers their means to manage their playoff future. Despite the fact that the chances of a comeback in that state of affairs had been already lengthy, Brown positioned the blame on their lacking the playoff squarely on the younger receiver.

Publicly, Smith-Schuster tried to be the nice sport and for some time wouldn’t have something damaging to say about Brown, even when the alternative wasn’t true. I’d think about that since then any main unhealthy blood that will have existed between the 2 subsided.

I’ve no information of their private relationship, and I don’t care, both, to be fairly frank. It’s already identified that present members of the Steelers continued to hang around with Brown. Even Diontae Johnson, who was by no means a member of the crew at a time that might have overlapped, has labored out with the potential future Corridor of Famer.

However Smith-Schuster would be the first to get an opportunity at punching him within the face.
