Warning: Story contains course language.
Former NFL players Chad Johnson and Asante Samuel may be squaring off in the boxing ring in the future.
Johnson, who recently campaigned to fight on the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor undercard, made it known Tuesday on Twitter that he'll welcome anyone who wants to challenge him to a match.

Elroy Douglas, a defensive back in the Canadian Football League, responded to Johnson's tweet by suggesting Samuel "could be a good fight."
Samuel wasn't keen on the idea:
He don't won't this work. It's just something to do for him. I really do this! #todayssession pic.twitter.com/Z0sf8mydJu

However, Samuel seemed to have a change of heart after this response from Johnson:
Asante I love you but I will piece yo ass up in the ring‼️ https://t.co/evorUGCgkN
