Le'veon Bell Accuses Logan Paul of Ducking $1M Boxing Challenge
le'veon bell publicly accused Logan Paul of avoiding a proposed $1 million boxing match after Paul said he would pay any current or former NFL player to step into the ring, escalating a feud that also involves Tom Brady.
Paul's $1 Million Challenge
Logan Paul said he was willing to wager $1 million that no football player could beat him in a boxing match and framed the offer as open to any current or former NFL athlete. Paul used public comments to single out the league’s top players and suggested the dispute with Tom Brady could turn physical, saying he would not be surprised if they "throw hands" on the field. The $1 million offer has drawn multiple responses from NFL figures.
Le'veon Bell Draft Weekend Challenge
le'veon bell answered by calling Paul out on social media, writing "STOP DUCKING @LoganPaul" and proposing a bout during the NFL Draft weekend in Pittsburgh in April. Bell framed the proposed meeting as a direct test of Paul’s claim that no football player could beat him in the ring and urged that the fight be arranged around the draft schedule.
Paul's response and counterclaims
Paul responded to the challenge by noting Bell's prior boxing experience and saying that would require additional training time. He also indicated he would not step away from his professional wrestling commitments and questioned the bout's financial appeal. Following that back-and-forth, Bell said Paul was avoiding opponents who had previously boxed.
Micah Parsons' measured reply
Another NFL player gave a cautious answer to Paul’s open offer, saying, 'Let me get healthy first. ' That response underscored a recurring dynamic in the exchanges: some players signaled interest but flagged practical barriers such as preparation, ongoing injuries, or competing commitments.
What happens next will depend on logistics and mutual agreement. Key observable indicators to watch are whether formal contracts or promotional plans are announced around the draft weekend in Pittsburgh, whether Paul adjusts his wrestling schedule to accommodate training, and whether Bell confirms a training timeline. If a promotional offer with financial terms and a date is not formalized, the dispute may remain at the level of public taunts and social-media challenges.
Uncertainties remain about any final arrangement; venue, official sanctioning and promotional backing are not publicly confirmed. The parties involved have made competing public statements about willingness and readiness, leaving the path forward contingent on a negotiated date, training commitments and agreed financial terms.
