‘Hard to Believe This Is Even Allowed’: NFL World in Total Denial as RB Puts His Life at Risk

Published 10/07/2022, 7:30 AM EDT

The former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le ‘Veon Bell is going to make his pro boxing debut soon. After sitting back as a free agent the previous year, the 30-year-old developed his interest in boxing. Following his TKO win over former NFL legend, Adrian Peterson, Bell has considered changing the course of his career.

Earlier in September this year, the former running back locked horns with one of the greatest NFL running back Adrian Peterson in an exhibition at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles. Back then, there was no news regarding his professional debut. Probably, the 5th round stoppage of Peterson with a lethal right hook has brought this change in his thought process.

This win boosted his confidence in such a way that now he wanted to face a legit former UFC fighter, Uriah Hall. The latter did not win the title in the organization, but he was a big name in the middleweight division and is good enough to pose a genuine threat in the ring against Bell, who had no experience in professional contests.

Adam Schefter, a sports journalist, reported on Facebook that Bell is set to face Hall in his pro boxing debut on Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva’s fight card on October 29 in Phoenix.
