Former NFL running back Le’Veon Bell is eager to step into the boxing ring with Jake Paul.
Over the weekend, Paul secured another victory by dominating former UFC star turned bare-knuckle boxer Mike Perry in a Saturday night showdown.
Bell, who has transitioned to boxing after retiring from football, was ringside for the fight. Seizing the moment, he approached Paul and asked if he was interested in a match. Following the event, Bell took to social media to publicly challenge Paul to a boxing match.

Bell has made a name for himself in the boxing world, winning his last two matches against social media influencers. He also holds a highlight-reel knockout against former NFL star Adrian Peterson, showcasing his growing prowess in the sport.
However, Jake Paul has his sights set on loftier goals. With ambitions to contend for a boxing world championship within the next two years, fighting a former running back with limited boxing experience may not advance his career significantly.
Despite this, Bell’s challenge adds an intriguing element to Paul’s boxing journey.
While it might not align with Paul’s championship aspirations, a match between the two athletes could draw significant attention and viewership, appealing to both boxing and NFL fans.
Whether Paul accepts Bell’s challenge remains to be seen, but the prospect of such a fight is sure to generate buzz in the sports community.
