Logan Paul and Le’Veon Bell Boxing Match Gains Momentum, Tom Brady Reacts
The prospect of a boxing match between social media star Logan Paul and former NFL running back Le’Veon Bell is gaining traction, drawing reactions from across the sports world, including a playful jab from NFL legend Tom Brady.
From $1 Million Offer to Potential Bout
Paul initially offered $1 million to any NFL player willing to fight him, sparking a back-and-forth with several athletes. Bell responded to Paul’s challenge on X, stating, “Send the contract.” WrestleZone reports that this exchange suggests both parties are moving closer to finalizing an agreement.
Brady’s Involvement and Initial Challenge
The situation originated with a war of words between Paul and Tom Brady regarding the physicality of their respective professions. Paul initially expressed interest in fighting Brady directly before extending the $1 million offer to all NFL players. Bolavip details how Brady’s comments about Paul’s toughness in football may have fueled the challenge.
Bell’s Boxing Background
Le’Veon Bell is not recent to the boxing world. He holds a professional record of 2-1, along with two exhibition victories, including one in November 2025. Yahoo Sports highlights Bell’s transition to boxing after a nine-year NFL career, where he earned three Pro Bowl selections and rushed for 6,554 yards.
Paul’s Boxing Experience
Logan Paul has limited boxing experience, having lost to KSI in 2019 and winning an exhibition match against Dillon Danis in 2023. His brother, Jake Paul, has a more extensive record of 12-2, recently losing to Anthony Joshua on December 19th.
Brady’s Reaction
Tom Brady responded to the potential fight with a humorous post on Twitter, questioning, “Is this my fault?” Yahoo Sports notes this reaction stems from a previous exchange on Paul’s podcast where Brady questioned Paul’s ability to compete in professional football.
Initial Offer and Subsequent Backtracking
Initially, Logan Paul extended the offer to fight any NFL player, but reportedly backed out of a fight with Bell after the former NFL player accepted. FirstSportz reports that Paul cited Bell’s retirement status and perceived lack of drawing power as reasons for declining the fight, leading to accusations of hypocrisy.
As of March 7, 2026, a fight between Logan Paul and Le’Veon Bell remains unconfirmed, but the exchange of words and apparent willingness from both sides suggest a potential bout could materialize in the near future.
