Maybe he does not figure out in the Pound for Pound best fighter’s list, but it is impossibleto deny that Jake Paul is on the main conversations about boxing. His popularity outside the ring, and his ability to transform his fights into a whole marketing experience, make many want to crossfire with him.

The Problem Child has just knocked out Tyron Woodley on his last bout withabrutal punch on the sixth round. This was his fifth victory on the same number of professional fights. A nice start to Paul’s boxing career but it is true that he has not still fought a real boxer: 1 Youtuber, 2 mixed martial artists, and 1 basketball player.

Inthis line, it could not be weird to see Jake Paul sharing the ring with another non-boxer. In fact, he has just received a surprising challenge of asportsman that is willing to prove himself on theSweet Scienceand states he could be a real test for Paul.

After being selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers on the second round of the 2013 draft, Bell moved to New York Jets in 2019. This maneuver turned him into the second highest paid running back in the NFL with a signed 35 million guaranteed contract.

At present Le’Veon Bell is a free agent: Baltimore Ravens signed him in 2021, but he just played 5 games and was officially released on November 16. Could he be a real menace for Jake Paul even if he has never stepped into a professional boxing ring?
