Michael Carter-Williams, the original poster child of 'The Process' era Sixers, is about to make his debut in another sport.

He can only hope it's as promising as his NBA debut was back in 2013.

Carter-Williams, now 33 years old (holy hell, I'm old), will step into the amateur boxing ring for the first time on May 29 in New York.

MCW will go up against Sam Khativ, 36, in a heavyweight fight at the Leman Ballroom.

The Broad Street Brawl, as the event is being called, is intended to raise money for Bigvision Community, a nonprofit that supports young adults with recovery from substance abuse.

Good cause for the former Sixer to get his feet wet in boxing.

Have to say, you could've given me 150 guesses as to which former Sixer would take a dip into boxing and I never would've come up with MCW. Bob and weave, Michael, bob and weave.
