Frank Gore's NFL playing date may be behind him, but the future Hall of Fame running back is enjoying another passion—boxing. The San Francisco 49ers all-time rushing leader celebrated his 39th birthday on Saturday by knocking out Yaya Olorunsola in the fourth round during his pro boxing debut.

You can watch Gore deliver the crushing blow below (h/t Bleacher Report).


"Gore and Olorunsola were the co-main event on the Gamebred Boxing card in Biloxi, Mississippi," wrote Adam Wells of Bleacher Report. "This was the first professional boxing match of his career."

In April, Gore announced that he plans to retire with the 49ers this offseason and hopes to one day join an NFL front office—maybe even with San Francisco, the team that made him a third-round draft pick out of the University of Miami in 2005.

"Probably [will retire] in a couple of months," Gore told Heidi Watney during a Bovada Instagram interview. "We're still trying to figure out when I'm going to do my one-day contract [with the 49ers], to sign, do my retirement. I told [49ers CEO] Jed York that I always wanted to be a Niner, so we're working on that right now.

"And then we're going to also sit down, me and my agent, just talk about me working in the front office because I love looking at talent, and I love evaluating talent, and I love ball. And they know that I know football players, what it takes to be a football player."

In December, Gore made his pro boxing exhibition debut, losing to former NBA star Deron Williams.

Gore played 16 NFL seasons. He remains San Francisco's all-time leading rusher with 11,073 yards through 10 seasons with the team.

Gore ranks No. 3 all-time with exactly 16,000 rushing yards. Only Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton rank above him. After his time with the 49ers, Gore played for the Indianapolis Colts, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and New York Jets. He did not play in 2021.

Nearly all NFL teams were represented at Arizona's pro day, with only three teams choosing to skip the event. The San Francisco 49ers were among those in attendance to scout the draft prospects, including potential first-round pick, tackle Jordan Morgan. The Niners currently hold 10 selections in the upcoming draft, with their first pick at No. 31 overall. Of note, it wasn't just any 49ers scout present at Arizona's pro day. NFL Draft Diamonds reports that it was the team's director of college scouting. Tariq Ahmad held that position before recently being promoted, along with R.J. Gillen, to co-directors of player personnel. It's assumed that NFL Draft Diamonds meant one of these two

Jason La Canfora of 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore shared on his radio show that the Ravens reached out to the 49ers, but as of now, the Bay Area team seems to have no interest in engaging in trade discussions. La Canfora reposted a social media post, which you can view below. With @Ravens creating cap room, some of it could be earmarked for a WR. We heard they reached out to SF about Deebo availability (that's a no,

The San Francisco 49ers likely aren't finished fortifying their defense and have reportedly expressed interest in bolstering their defensive backfield. If they require assistance making a significant move, one 49ers player is prepared to lend a helping hand. Last week, the Buffalo Bills released All-Pro cornerback Tre'Davious White, who appears to be an ideal fit for San Francisco's needs opposite Charvarius Ward. Over the weekend, Ward took to social media to reveal that he and White share the same agent and that he is willing to nudge the free-agent defensive back in the right direction. Ward described White as a "hand in glove
