A $1 million fight challenge from Logan Paul quickly sent social media into a frenzy after the WWE star boldly claimed he was willing to step into the ring with NFL players. The viral callout soon reached Micah Parsons, who wasted no time responding.
Although Parsons is currently recovering from an ACL injury, the Green Bay Packers star issued a message that immediately raised eyebrows and hinted he might be more than ready to accept the challenge once healthy.
Micah Parsons Accepts Logan Paul’s $1 Million NFL Boxing Challenge
Paul stirred up the sports world after issuing a bold challenge to NFL players, claiming he would wager $1 million that he could beat any of them in a boxing match. The influencer-turned-WWE star made the statement during a discussion about crossover fights, even going so far as to say he would “throttle” reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett if they ever stepped into the ring together.
Among the names who jumped into the conversation was Parsons. The star pass rusher made it clear that he is not intimidated by Paul’s boxing challenge.
After Paul posted an update claiming no NFL player would place $1 million in escrow and travel to Puerto Rico to fight him under official judges and referees, Parsons delivered a short but powerful response on social media.
Parsons wrote on X, “I got million just let me get healthy first!! 🤝” With that message, Parsons effectively accepted the challenge while also sending a warning that the fight could happen once he fully recovers from injury.
The first-team All-Pro defender recently suffered a torn ACL, ending his season, but he made it clear that money would not be a problem and that he would be willing to step into the ring when his body is ready.

Paul’s follow-up message came after he claimed the challenge had created an “uproar.” According to the WWE star, several NFL players expressed interest but wanted the fight organized as a major event with a venue, a broadcast deal, and a promotional buildup.
Paul rejected that idea, explaining he does not want to step away from his WWE commitments to organize a large-scale boxing event. Instead, he said the fight would only happen if a player is willing to risk their own $1 million, travel to his gym in Puerto Rico, and compete in a match judged by professional referees.
Other NFL Players Who Responded to Paul’s Challenge
The challenge has already attracted interest from several NFL figures. Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell, who has professional boxing experience and holds a 2-1 record, called out Paul and urged him to stop “ducking” real opponents.
Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins also signaled he would gladly fight the YouTuber, while several other players chimed in with similar reactions across social media.
Still, Parsons’ response stands out because he directly addressed Paul’s biggest demand. While other players discussed the idea of a promoted fight event, the former Cowboys star, now with the Packers, essentially said he is willing to match the $1 million wager himself once he is healthy enough to compete.
That statement alone transformed Paul’s viral challenge from internet trash talk into a potential high-profile crossover showdown between a WWE celebrity and one of the NFL’s most explosive defensive stars.
