Shawne Merriman is aiming for a fight with another football legend, a match that would excite NFL fans worldwide.
Known as `Lights Out`, Merriman is considered one of the most powerful players in football history. His reputation as a fearsome competitor is well-earned.
Merriman Calls Out James Harrison for Potential Blockbuster Fight
While Shawne Merriman is famous for his football career, he is now also making a name for himself as a fight promoter.
Merriman, owner of Lights Out Sports TV, is working with Signature Punch Promotions and ICS to promote a boxing match between Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson and Rashad Evans on April 12 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Despite his promotional work, Merriman still wants to fight himself, and a match with James Harrison is becoming a real possibility.
In an interview, Merriman mentioned that he usually avoids publicly calling out fighters because of his behind-the-scenes role in promoting events.
However, if James Harrison and Ochocinco (Chad Johnson) are publicly considering fighting, Merriman is ready to step in. He believes a fight between him and Harrison would be exciting for fans, wanting to see them compete in the ring.
Merriman stated he has sent contracts to various potential opponents, including former WWE and football players, and even a rugby player, but has received no responses. This is why he typically avoids public call-outs.
Merriman continues to train, often at Xtreme Couture and Top Rank in Las Vegas, to stay in shape and because of his love for combat sports.
He reiterated that the offer to fight James Harrison is still open and believes it would be a major event.
