No, Russell Wilson isn’t following Le’Veon Bell as the next NFL player to try his hand at a boxing career. But Wilson is stepping into the ring a month out from training camp to stay fit and conditioned for his first year with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
As shared to his Instagram story Tuesday, Wilson trained a bit on the mat instead of being on the field. His caption notes he took up boxing in 2018 but stopped because of the pandemic in 2020. It sounds like this is his first time back in the ring since.
