Logan Paul has officially accepted a high-stakes $1 million boxing challenge from former NFL All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell, escalating his ongoing feud with Tom Brady into one of the most anticipated celebrity boxing matchups in recent years.
The agreement, currently confirmed via social media exchanges, puts Logan Paul’s bold claim that “no NFL player could stand up to him in the ring” to the ultimate test against a legitimate athlete with combat sports experience.

Logan Paul Agrees to $1 Million Boxing Match Against Le’Veon Bell: Full Details & Fight Breakdown
The drama began when Tom Brady called wrestling “cute” on his podcast and later went viral for labeling Logan Paul a “b*tch” in a training video with Rob Gronkowski. Paul fired back aggressively, threatening to “throw hands” with Brady and issuing an open challenge to the entire NFL:
“I would throttle Myles Garrett. Come to the gym and let’s see how it goes. I will throw hands with any of you motherf***ers. A million dollars. You come to the gym. We put on boxing gloves. We see how it goes. There’s levels to this.”
Le’Veon Bell, a former Steelers and Jets star with real boxing training, quickly called Paul out on X:
“STOP DUCKING @LoganPaul .. bro tryna fight an NFL player that’s never fought before .. let’s set it up bro, we all heard you say you can beat any NFL player .. we can fight in April, the NFL draft is in PITTSBURGH .. we can fight NFL draft weekend! let’s make it happen.”
When Logan Paul initially suggested sparring instead of a full fight, Bell fired back: “bro wants to spar! 😂 lol that’s fine bro, we can SPAR if that’s what you wanna do .. let’s PRACTICE 😂.” Heavy fan trolling accusing Paul of ducking a real opponent forced him to accept the $1 million bout.
