Why Uriah Hall wants to fight Jake Paul after boxing NFL veteran Le’Veon Bell

It seems everyone wants a piece of Jake Paul these days.

Recently retired from the UFC, Uriah Hall is lacing up the boxing gloves to take on three-time NFL Pro Bowl running back Le’Veon Bell in a bout on Oct. 29 that will serve as the first pro boxing bout for both men. The event takes place at Footprint Center in Phoenix, and headlining the event will be the aforementioned Paul taking on MMA legend Anderson Silva.

Coincidentally, Hall prompted Silva’s UFC retirement after finishing him in the fourth round of their UFC Fight Night 181 headlining bout two years ago. Now both men find themselves competing in the boxing ring, and Hall would like a piece of Silva’s upcoming opponent in the near future.
