Oh, boy. Le’Veon Bell is at it again.
After scoring a fifth-round TKO victory over fellow ex-running back Adrian Peterson in an exhibition bout, Bell is set to make his professional boxing debut later this month.
It was announced on Thursday that Bell will be facing off against former UFC star Uriah Hall as part of the Most Valuable Promotions’ pay-per-view event headlined by Jake Paul vs. former UFC champion Anderson Silva on Saturday, October 29.
The event is taking place at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

It’s one thing to have former professional athletes who never boxed fighting other former athletes with similar experience, but tossing a former NFL running back into the ring against someone like Hall, who was one of the most exciting strikers in mixed martial arts during his prime, is a bit overboard.
The only good news for Bell is that Hall won’t be able to use his kicks.
