GLENDALE, Ariz. – [autotag]Le’Veon Bell[/autotag] is getting in the ring once again.
The former NFL All-Pro running back takes on former UFC standout Uriah Hall in a boxing match, and at Wednesday’s open workouts, Bell showed a glimpse of what’s to come on Saturday night in a four-round professional fight contested at cruiserweight (195 pounds) on the Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva undercard.
Bell, 30, was a two-time first-team All-Pro running back with the Pittsburgh Steelers who played nine seasons in the NFL, including eight games in 2021 with the Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bell made his boxing debut Sept. 10 when he defeated fellow former NFL running back Adrian Peterson by fifth-round TKO in an exhibition fight.
