Le'Veon Bell to fight ex-UFC fighter Uriah Hall on Oct. 29

A unique football-versus-MMA matchup has been added to the Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva undercard.

Former NFL All-Pro running back Le'Veon Bell will face ex-UFC fighter Uriah Hall in a pro boxing match Oct. 29 in Glendale, Arizona.

The four-round contest has been contracted at 195 pounds and neither man can be above 200 pounds on weigh-in day, per officials. Bell and Hall, who are making their professional boxing debuts, will wear 10-ounce gloves. The card is being promoted by Paul's Most Valuable Promotions and distributed by Showtime pay-per-view.

"I'm just as excited to watch Hall versus Bell as I am for Paul versus Silva," Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said.
