Logan Paul has thrown his hat back into the proverbial ring, announcing through Misfits Boxing that he will be fighting American MMA artist Dillon Danis in October on the PRIME card. If anyone is unhappy with the announcement, it is former NFL player Le’Veon Bell, who has been trying to organise a fight against Logan Paul for some time now. Following the announcement of the Danis fight, Bell once again challenged Paul to a boxing match.

Bell has a bone to pick with the Paul brothers, both of whom he considers his athletic inferior. On the ‘No Jumper’ podcast, the free agent called out both Jake and Logan and challenged either one to a boxing match. The 31-year-old is confident he can take either one on, and is disappointed that both brothers seem to be ducking his challenges. He took to Twitter to call out Logan, saying he can't dodge a fight forever and that the two will eventually meet inside the ring.

He said, “lol you really can’t duck me forever @LoganPaul .. at some point you’re gonna have to see me in that boxing ring.”
Logan Paul is returning to boxing following two years away from the sport. The last time he fought was the no contest match against Floyd Mayweather in 2021.
Bell transitions to boxing career post NFL
After his time in the NFL, Bell has transitioned into the world of professional boxing. Currently holding a 1-1 record, he beat YouTuber JMX in a bout in April. His loss came at the hands of MMA artist Uriah Hall. He also managed to beat another former NFL player in Adrian Peterson through a fifth round knockout.
While his NFL career didn’t go as many expected, being traded between teams often and never quite finding his footing, nobody can take away what Bell achieved during his peak. At his highest point, he played for teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was especially impressive during his time at the Steelers where he established himself as one of the league’s best running backs.
