Le’Veon Bell making pro boxing debut on Jake Paul card after vicious KO

Adrian Peterson was just a warm up act.

Now, Le’Veon Bell is ready for the full audition.

The former NFL star will make his professional boxing debut as part of the Jake Paul-Anderson Silva card on Oct. 29 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Ariz. (Showtime PPV). He’ll challenge former UFC legend Uriah Hall, who is making his professional boxing debut as well.

Bell announced his presence to the fighting scene in early September, when he viciously KO’d fellow former star NFL running Adrian Peterson in an exhibition match. The 30-year-old Bell connected with a huge right hand, flooring Peterson in a clip that promptly went viral.

For his first bout on the professional scene, Bell now takes a quantum leap up in competition.

“As soon as Most Valuable Promotions [Jake Paul’s promotional company] approached me about joining the Paul-Silva pay-per-view, I told them, ‘I want in,’ and didn’t care who the opponent was,” Bell said in a statement. “Uriah Hall is going to feel my punching power and tap out like he’s getting submitted. He is not built like me.”
