Video of the incident shows Owens battling a shorter, shirtless man, who is eventually dropped by the former NFL receiver’s strong right hand. The supposed heckler managed to get to his feet and had more words for Owens, who had clearly proven his point and started to walk away.
Owens then got back in his Tesla and hit the road, according to TMZ, which reports that police were not at the scene.
The odds were heavily stacked against Owens’ opponent, who faced a former professional athlete who was known for staying in top shape. Earlier this year, footage surfaced of Owens reportedly running the 40-yard dash in 4.45 seconds, which is as good or better than many current NFL wide receivers.
In addition, Owens is 6 feet 8 inches tall and weighs about 230 pounds.
A polarizing player in his era, Owens is regarded as one of the greatest receivers in football history. The former Chattanooga star never won a Super Bowl, but was a five-time First Team All-Pro before ending his NFL career with the Bengals in 2010. He attempted a comeback with the Seattle Seahawks in 2012, but never played in a regular season. season game for the team.

Owens has had a few civilian confrontations this year, including a racially charged confrontation with a Florida neighbor that eventually went viral in August.
The other party, a 38-year-old white woman named Caitlin Davis, was subsequently charged with second-degree misdemeanor for lying to police about the incident and must return to a Broward County courtroom on Dec. 6, according to data obtained by DailyMail. com. It remains unclear what exactly she is being accused of lying, but she did say that Owens was driving dangerously.
She was unable to substantiate her allegations, according to the reporting official’s statement, obtained by DailyMail.com.
“He got out of his car and started harassing me,” Davis told officers as Owens taped the scene on his phone, derisively referring to her as a “Karen.”
“But you didn’t have to get out of your goddamn car,” she then yelled at Owens.
Owens replied, “You didn’t have to talk to me like that.”
It was at this point that Davis brought race into the discussion, yelling, “You’re a black man approaching a white woman.”
In the midst of the escalating situation, Davis then began to cry.
“He literally came after me,” the woman sobbed.
Owens continued to record while cooperating with officers by providing his identification.
“Please, sir,” Owens said to the officer, handing him his ID.
“I’ve seen it, but I’ve never been a part of this,” Owens said, referring to the situation.
Owens continued to refer to Davis as “Karen,” which has become a pejorative term for an entitled white woman exercising white privilege, typically as seen in a viral video.
Owens, who played with the 49ers, Eagles, Cowboys and Bengals, captioned his video: “KAREN IS REAL!!!!”
‘Wow!! JUST A NORMAL NIGHT TO BE A BLACK MAN IN AMERICA,” he added. “I want to say I can’t believe it, but you know what it is. #karenonbikes #tears #false accusations #hernameiskate

He later referred to Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American who was lynched for allegedly insulting a white woman in Mississippi in 1955.
“THIS IS FOR PEOPLE LIKE EMMITT WHO WERE KILLED TO AND DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE TO SPEAK THEIR TRUTH BECAUSE OF FALSE ACTIONS,” Owens wrote on Aug. 4.
“As for the incident that happened last night…here she is, a real life and our neighbor Karen: her name is Caitlyn Davis.”
More recently, Owens has appeared on Chris Cuomo’s new show to discuss the incident.
“If the tables were turned, they would use every legal remedy to sue me,” Owens said. “It’s not about me.”
“I just think of others who may have been in this situation and if they didn’t have the stature or resources to do what I did, things could have been very different.
“I want to be able to use this platform to shed light on what’s happening,” he added. “It doesn’t matter what neighborhood you live in, this is the reality of the life of a black individual or a black American.”
An officer could be seen in the background and Owens cooperated, calling him ‘sir’
