After WWE Superstar Logan Paul gave an update on his open boxing challenge that Le’Veon Bell answered, the previous NFL running back responded and didn’t mince words.
Bell quote-posted Paul’s update on X, formerly Twitter. He claimed that Paul desires to “spar,” not box, which he would still be open to. He’s also advantageous with the $1 million wager, and he wants the cameras on.
“Bro desires to spar! [laughing crying emoji]” Bell responded. “Lol that’s advantageous bro, we are able to SPAR if that’s what you wanna do .. let’s PRACTICE [laughing crying emoji]..
“And sure, $1m bet .. but we run rounds until 1st person quit then .. no need for YOUR JUDGES and CAMERAS ON FOR SURE! no have to hide it from the general public, they wanna see this,” he continued.
Logan Paul responded with conditions for Le’Veon Bell answering the open boxing challenge
Paul then laid out more conditions. The previous WWE United States Champion responded to Bell’s post by listing all the conditions for the match.
Among the many specifications are 10 oz gloves, no headgear, and three-minute rounds, which can go “until someone quits.” He also wants it to go down in the course of the weekend of Mar. 14.
Again, Paul wanted the $1 million in escrow, something that allegedly held others back from accepting the terms, and adjusted his tune on the judges, writing, “No judges. You select referee.”
He also took it one step further, saying that it might be a boxing or MMA (mixed martial arts) match. If Bell agrees, Paul will send him a contract.
As of the time of this writing, Bell has not responded. So, it’s unknown if he accepts the terms Paul laid out. Hopefully, there’s more movement.
This comes after Paul issued an update in the course of the morning of Mar. 6. He claimed that NFL players weren’t open to flying to Puerto Rico and fighting in his gym in front of “three skilled judges.” One other point of contention seemed to be his demand to “put $1M in escrow.”
Bell appears open to his demands. It appears to be only a matter of time before the match is made official.
