As for Bell, he’s not limiting himself to Jake Paul. The former Pittsburgh Steelers running back hopes to fight at the highest levels of the sport.
“I want to be the best that I can possibly can be and reach the highest level that I possibly can, obviously it’s going to take a lot of hard work and dedication, I plan on doing that, I never won a Super Bowl…I think if I ever was to win a world title or anything like that, obviously that feeling would kill any feeling I’ve ever had in football.
