For weeks now, influencer, boxer, and WWE star Logan Paul has been involved in a heated rivalry with NFL legend Tom Brady. Paul called himself higher than NFL players, and Brady followed it up with a “cute” dig targeted toward WWE. Shortly after, it also attracted comments from several WWE stars, in addition to Brady, calling Paul a “b***h.”
Not taking the insults evenly, Paul opened up about beating “any football player” in a boxing match while speaking on the most recent edition of his ImPaulsive podcast. “The Maverick” claimed that he would pay any current or former NFL star $1 million if they may beat him in a boxing match.
“Not a single football player could beat me in a boxing match, that’s on God. Any football player. Myles Garrett, Puka Nacua, Tom Brady, Gronk, Sam Darnold, it doesn’t matter,” Paul said. “1,000,000 dollars. You come to the gym, we placed on boxing gloves, we’ll see the way it goes. Not a single one. There’s levels to this s**t.”
Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett is understood for having one of the intimidating physiques within the league and was certainly one of the primary players suggested by Paul’s co-host, Mike Majlak. Nonetheless, Paul responded by stating that he would “throttle” Garrett. Paul’s challenge was soon answered by former NFL star Le’Veon Bell, who currently boasts a 2-1 skilled boxing record.
“STOP DUCKING [Logan Paul] .. bro tryna fight an NFL player that’s never fought before .. let’s set it up bro, all of us heard you say you may beat any NFL player .. we will fight in April, the NFL draft is in PITTSBURGH .. we will fight NFL draft weekend! let’s make it occur.”
Nonetheless, Paul responded to Bell’s answer and ruled out the probabilities of fighting him. “A.) you’re not within the NFL B.) you may actually fight so I’d must properly train, meaning I’d must step away from WWE (which I won’t do, especially not for you) C.) There’s no money here since you’re not a draw. Prove me otherwise Ofc YOU want the chance, I’m a goldmine for retirees such as you. But gg.”

Multiple other current and ex-NFL players answer Logan Paul’s challenge
Shortly after Logan Paul shared his $1M boxing challenge on social media, multiple current and ex-NFL players answered his challenge. Kansas City Chiefs’ Kingsley Suamataia, Dallas Cowboys’ Brock Hoffman, and UFL’s Birmingham Stallions linebacker Tae Crowder answered Paul’s challenge.
The previous WWE United States Champion responded to their DMs and wrote, “You really down? $1M bet. Money in escrow. 3 skilled judges. Six three minute rounds here in Puerto Rico. 10oz gloves. Can have it drawn up.”
Nonetheless, it’s currently not confirmed if either of those players will actually square off against Paul inside a boxing ring. Currently energetic on the WWE major roster, this match would mark Paul’s return to the boxing ring after a span of two years.
