YouTuber Jake Paul stunned the sports world this past weekend when he issued a brutal second-round knockout to former NBA player Nate Robinson in boxing match that actually happened for some reason.
And now more pro athletes want to get a shot at fighting Paul who is technically 2-0 as a “professional” boxer.
The popular Twitter account, Overtime, shared a video on Thursday of Kansas City Chiefs running back Le’Veon Bell going through some boxing training at a gym. And the account wondered in a tweet if Bell could beat Paul in this hypothetical bout.
Well, Bell seems to be more than onboard with the idea.
like I said, set it up

Bell responded to the tweet to say, “Like I said, set it up.”
Following his win over Robinson, Paul had specifically called out UFC star Conor McGregor as a potential next opponent. But unlike Robinson — who is, uh, a retired basketball player — Paul would almost certainly have a tougher time against an MMA legend who at least sorta held his own in the ring with Floyd Mayweather.
I mean what fighter with this big of a platform is calling out Mcgregor?
ITS GONNA HAPPEN. YOU WILL ALL SEE. @AudieAttar
I’ll call you this week— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) November 29, 2020
Le’Veon would probably be a better matchup for Paul. But there’s only one way to find out: fight!
