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. «You have a legitimate top-10 MMA striker versus a world-class athlete who has proven he has true boxing skills and knockout power.

This fight elevates our pay-per-view to a new level and these guys will undoubtedly put on an unforgettable fight for the fans in the stands and those tuning in.» Bell actually called out Paul last December for fighting smaller men with no boxing experience.
