The NFL-to-boxing crossover chatter just keeps getting louder. What started as a flashy internet challenge has now pulled several former football stars into the orbit of influencer boxing. Social media has become a running scoreboard, with athletes tossing jabs, reposts, and bold predictions as the story keeps unfolding.
Asante Samuel Throws Ryan Clark into Potential Undercard Fight
At the center of the noise sits YouTuber-turned-fighter Logan Paul. His $1 million wager that no current or former NFL player could beat him in a boxing ring triggered instant reactions across football circles. The clip spread quickly, and soon multiple players lined up to test the claim.
The conversation took a weird turn when Super Bowl champion Asante Samuel decided to escalate things even further. Having shared a post asking fans who’d win between Le’Veon Bell and Logan Paul, Samuel jumped back into the replies once Bell confidently predicted victory.
Bell didn’t hesitate when responding to the matchup question, “This boutta be easy work, I promise you.”
Samuel then leaned into the chaos and proposed expanding the entire spectacle by pulling another familiar NFL name into the ring, “F**k it… put me and Ryan Clark on the undercard and let’s make this a big event.”
“It looks like the people want to see us in the ring,” Samuel added. “After counting and adding up what people will spend on the match, I was shocked. I think we can get a 5 million purse, split 60/40 my way. LFG”
Meanwhile, the original feud keeps gaining layers. Bell publicly accused Paul of ducking a proposed $1 million fight after Paul announced he was willing to bet that no NFL player could defeat him in a boxing match. Bell even suggested staging the bout during NFL Draft weekend in Pittsburgh and called Paul out directly online.
Paul pushed back by pointing out Bell’s prior boxing experience. According to Paul, that background would require extra preparation time, and he also cited his professional wrestling schedule as a factor.
However, the story didn’t stop there. Per Bleacher Report, Paul and Bell have now agreed on the terms of a potential fight.
“Logan Paul and Le’Veon Bell have agreed to terms on a boxing match – 10 oz gloves, no headgear, 3 min rounds “until someone quits”,” the Bleacher Report’s account wrote on X.

The idea behind the event traces back to Paul’s ongoing tension with Tom Brady, which originally sparked the “NFL vs. boxer” concept. From there, the challenge snowballed.
