Former NBA players Michael Beasley and Delonte West met in a boxing ring Friday night in Miami, where Beasley earned a first-round knockout victory.
The heavyweight bout was part of the Brand Risk 16 event, promoted by streamer Adin Ross. For Beasley, it marked his second appearance in combat sports; he had previously lost an influencer MMA bout at Brand Risk 14 in May. West, by contrast, was making his first walk into a boxing ring.
