Over the past week, Logan Paul has been planning to box former NFL stars Le’Veon Bell and Breiden Fehoko, but he’s now pulled the plug after being told by the organisers at WWE that he’s not allowed to fight.
This all started when Logan Paul proclaimed on Twitter/X that he could beat any NFL player in a boxing match, and that he would bet $1m for anyone willing to take him on.

Both Le’Veon Bell and Breiden Fehoko put themselves forward and were more than willing to prove Paul wrong. But they won’t get the chance now.
WWE tell Logan Paul not to take part in boxing match with NFL players
During a live stream on Sunday evening, Paul appeared to take a call which he claims was from WWE chiefs, warning him against taking the fight against either of the former NFL players.
On the call, Paul says: “I’m not gonna get injured. These guys can’t box, they’re football players. There’s no risk.”

Welp. The bosses called
Turns out I’m too valuable of a WWE Superstar to be fighting bums
I want to take this opportunity to congratulate @LeVeonBell and @BreidenFehoko for their 15 minutes of relevancy. Now back to being broke and retired
I’m going back to RAW every Monday…

Paul took that advice on board, as he later tweeted a message announcing he will be returning to WWE RAW and that any chances of him fighting Bell or Fehoko are now over.
Paul wrote: “Welp. The bosses called. Turns out I’m too valuable of a WWE Superstar to be fighting bums. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Le’Veon Bell and Breiden Fehoko for their 15 minutes of relevancy. Now back to being broke and retired. I’m going back to RAW every Monday on Netflix.”

Since making his wrestling debut in 2022, Paul has defeated the likes of Rey Mysterio, The Miz, and AJ Styles. He held the title of WWE United States Champion for 270 days after a victory in November 2023, and more recently won the WarGames event last year.
Le’Veon Bell and Breiden Fehoko don’t believe Logan Paul’s excuse
While Paul’s WWE return appears to be legitimate, Le’Veon Bell doesn’t buy it.
He tweeted: “Aye hold up!! He had somebody call in and act like he can’t make this happen anymore?!! This is the biggest duck we have ever seen! Logan Paul is actually scared!! This is crazy, he actually faked a phone call.”

Meanwhile, Fehoko has taken the chance to celebrate his first boxing victory, despite not stepping into the ring at all.
He posted: “I am now 1-0 in my professional boxing career. To everyone that said I’d lose, what’s your excuse now? This is not the way I wanted to win. I’m a honorable man but like a good coach once said enjoy the wins they are hard to come by.”
This all comes on the back of Tom Brady roasting Logan Paul for his comments about being “on the level” of NFL players. It’s safe to say Paul is not a popular man in the American Football community right now.
