Le'Veon Bell Wants A Shot At Jake Paul, Laughs At Competition
Le'Veon Bell has been itching to get in the ring with Jake Paul. But at the very least, he wants to see Paul fight someone with some boxing skills.
Paul — a YouTuber turned boxer — defeated 35-year-old Ryan Bourland in 2:37 in a first-round knockout Saturday night. Bell was watching, and he was not impressed.
"lol bra, this is laughable," the former All-Pro running back wrote on X. "I don’t even care if he decides to fight me or not, just fight somebody who actually knows how to defend themselves."
In a follow-up post, Bell suggested Bourland had no business being in the fight in the first place.

"Bourland don’t ever need to step in a boxing ring again.. after watching him fight, I’d never agree to fight him," Bell wrote. "lol he literally curled up in a corner, that’s what you do when you don’t know how to defend yourself .. he doesn’t belong in the ring, EVER again .. he sucks."
Le'Veon Bell Is Ready To Fight Jake Paul
A three-time Pro Bowler during his NFL days, Bell has been working on a boxing career of his own. And this isn't the first time he's challenged Jake Paul. During an appearance on the No Jumper podcast in August, he discussed the idea of fighting Jake or his brother Logan. And he's fully confident he'd win.
"Right now, I've been saying in boxing 'I'm gonna be the best at this sh-t. Watch. Watch.' Everybody like, 'Yeah. Yeah. Logan Paul do this. Logan Paul would knock you out. Jake Paul would knock you out.' Which, they're f-cking crazy. Nowhere near the same caliber of athlete as me," Bell said.
When the host asked if he would knock Jake out, Bell confirmed he would "stop him."
"When you say 'knock out,' it's hard to knock somebody out if they don't want to get knocked out," Bell said. "He's going to get stopped. He's not doing eight rounds with me. There's nobody in that influence sh-t that's making it eight rounds with me."
