Come here. Another notable athlete from another sport is making the jump to boxing. Of course, this kind of thing has happened before – just look up Ed “Too Tall” Jones or Mark Gastineau. However, professional athletes trying their hand at professional boxing seem to be becoming all the rage lately. Furthermore, it can be a lucrative career move for those who used to be famous from other sports. And while fights between people from non-boxing backgrounds can really be tempting – like to say that individuals take the sport seriously, as Jake Paul and Anderson Silva did – the circus aspect of novel matches can upset serious fans. However, the same cannot be said for casual fans or curiosity seekers.

As a result, the famous National Football League’s LeVeon Bell will take on the notable former UFC’s Uriah Hall in the framework of Paul-Silva’s pay-per-view event on October 29. The four-round weight cruiser is expected to represent each man’s professional boxing debut. The last time Bell saw action on the field was in 2021. The 30-year-old has played with the New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

As for Hall, the 38-year-old veterinarian retired from the mixed martial arts world earlier this year. During his career, Hall fought under the Bellator banner before going on to conquer the UFC’s The Last Gladiator show with four consecutive wins. Then fighting under the banner of the UFC, Hall went on to beat the likes of Chris Wideman and Silva himself. Apparently, Hall will be the one entering the ring on the 29th with a higher percentage of combat sports experience. He will also have some impressive power in his arsenal, as 13 of his 17 mixed martial arts wins have been by knockout.
