May 7 (UPI) — Ex-NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel will battle social media influencer Bob Menery in a boxing bout May 23 in Las Vegas, Brand Risk Promotions announced Thursday.

The bout will be held at the UFC Apex. Menery previously posted a photo for the contest in April, saying the event would take place this month in Miami.

UFC CEO Dana White said in April he would bet $10,000 Menery would not show up for the Miami bout, which never occurred. White now plans to host the bout.

Brand Risk Promotions said the Manziel-Menery match will air live on YouTube, Kick, Twitch, X and TikTok.
