Le’Veon Bell to Jake Paul: ‘Fight Me’
Former Kansas City Chiefs running back Le’Veon Bell apparently believes he can take down Paul in a boxing match, which is why he challenged Paul to a fight on Twitter.
“@jakepaul fight me, stop tryna fight ppl who can’t box,” Bell wrote.
@jakepaul fight me, stop tryna fight ppl who can’t box
When media outlets started displaying Bell’s tweet to Paul, Bell began explaining his request.
“I’m tired of watching him out box ppl who don’t even wanna box…if he wanna boxing match, a real one, he’d fight me…period, stop fightin small dudes who can’t box,” Bell wrote.
Bell then explained why he believes Paul won’t accept his fight request.
“He won’t tho cuz i’m 29, I’m actually his size, an athletic background, & been boxing just as long as he has…”
Paul responded to Bell’s tweet, suggesting that Woodley should fight Bell, while throwing shade at Bell’s NFL career in the process.
“Aye @TWooodley this clown saying you can’t box,” Paul wrote. “How about you show him as part of the next MVP event? Tyron would drop you faster than the Ravens!!”
Woodley then chimed into the conversation, clapping back at Bell.
“Cause i made one mistake you think it’s sweet? Don’t get it f$&ked up homeboy,” Woodley wrote.”
Bell, of course, responded to Woodley, which was the last tweet sent by Bell, Woodley, or Paul regarding the situation.
“You made more than just one mistake…he just slept you for that last mistake you made,” Bell wrote.
