Former American football star Le'Veon Bell is back in action for his next boxing match later this month when he faces ex-UFC fighter Uriah Hall on the undercard of Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva.
The running back isn't completely retired from his previous life in the NFL, but has taken a year off to give his full attention to a move into boxing, where he has already appeared once in a strange exhibition with fellow football player Adrian Peterson last month. He knocked out Peterson late in their exhibition bout, but no winner was declared due to the rigid rules in place in California.
Now, he heads into the professional ranks to face the renowned knockout artist Hall, who earlier this year announced his retirement from MMA. It will prove a much more difficult challenge for Bell, who will have to cut down below 200lb to face his rival, who has previously stopped main event winner Silva.
