Former NFL All-Pro running back, Le’Veon Bell, is set to take on former UFC veteran, Uriah Hall, in a pro boxing match.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Marc Raimondi were the first to report the news of the matchup, revealing that both Bell and Hall will be making their professional boxing debuts in a four-round cruiserweight (195 pounds) bout that will be on the undercard of the upcoming Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva event on October 29 in Glendale, Arizona.

Bell made his amateur boxing debut in an exhibition match against fellow former star NFL running back, Adrian Peterson, on September 10 where he won via a fifth-round KO. Hall on the other hand announced his retirement from MMA via a statement posted on Instagram back in August. He went 10-9 in nineteen Octagon appearances and was defeated via a unanimous decision by André Muniz at UFC 276 in his last bout for the promotion.
