Poker Pro Antonio Esfandiari Says He's Going to Box Kevin Hart in March

Timothy RappJul 29, 2018

Professional poker player Antonio Esfandiari revealed to TMZ Sports he'll be facing actor and comedian Kevin Hart in a boxing match around March, with an undisclosed wager on the line between the two friends.

"Kevin Hart and I were playing the other day, we were hanging out ... and somehow boxing comes up," he said. "So, we made a bet. And, in March, around March, we are going to box in a ring."

Esfandiari thinks Hart has one major advantage over him, however.

"Kevin's in much better shape, he's an athlete, he's fast as hell," Esfandiari acknowledged, noting that he's getting 35-1 (!) odds in the fight.

Based on the fact that Hart stands around 5'4", however, Esfandiari should have the advantage in reach.
