Joe “Baby Joe” Castaneda — Adrian Peterson‘s poker game rival — is down to move the guys’ beef from the felt tables to the squared circle … telling TMZ Sports he definitely has interest in sparring the NFL legend in a sanctioned bout.
Castaneda, who went toe-to-toe last month with the former Minnesota Vikings running back during a violent scrap over cards at a Houston, Texas social club — said this week if he were approached by some kind of celebrity boxing promotion to fight AP in a ring, he wouldn’t say no.

Castaneda told us it would require some kind of monetary compensation — but if the number was right, he’d have no problem mixing it up with Peterson again under some far brighter lights.
“I wouldn’t shy away from it,” the 47-year-old professional poker player said.
Unclear if Peterson, 40, would be down — but he does have experience in the celebrity boxing realm.
Remember, he once fought ex-NFL star Le’Veon Bell — though that tilt didn’t exactly end well for him.
Rematch or not, Castaneda was adamant there’s no bad blood between him and Peterson despite their now-infamous brawl … insisting he won’t be going to cops or filing any kinds of lawsuits.
“We’re good,” he said. “We’re good.”
