Bursting onto the scene at a young age, Le’Veon Bell quickly established himself as a dominant running back. Now he will get a chance to entertain a different audience when he steps inside a boxing ring.
A second-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, Bell is a three-time Pro Bowler. Following five years in Pittsburgh, Bell refused to sign a franchise tag and did not report to Steelers camp or any subsequent games. Becoming a free agent, Bell played for the Jets before joining the Chiefs and then the Ravens.
In December 2021, Brown signed with the Buccaneers and played three games for them. He was released in January 2022 and is currently a free agent.
Bell will fight another running back, Adrian Peterson, in a boxing match on September 10. Inside Banc of California Stadium, the fight is a part of a Social Gloves event.
The Sporting News looks into how Bell has accumulated his fortune and where he stands among the wealthiest and most influential athletes in the world.
