(AP) — Frank Gore is open to returning to the NFL for a Super Bowl run after he makes his boxing debut.
The longtime San Francisco 49ers running back faces former NBA All-Star Deron Williams on Saturday night on the undercard of the rematch between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley on Showtime Pay-Per-View.
“I’m excited but I’m also nervous about it because it’s new to me,” Gore said on the AP Pro Football Podcast.
The five-time NFL Pro-Bowler is listed at 5-foot-9, Williams at 6-foot-3.
Gore ran for 16,000 yards, third most in NFL history, during 15 seasons with the 49ers, Colts, Dolphins, Bills and Jets.
Williams, a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist with Team USA, played 12 years in the NBA from 2005 to 2017 — making three All-Star teams and two All-NBA teams along the way.
He spurned an offer to return during training camp to spend time with his family. If a playoff-bound team calls now, he’s ready.
