Breaking: Uriah Hall to take on NFL superstar Le'Veon Bell in a 4-round boxing fight in the Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva undercard

Following his retirement from MMA earlier this year, Uriah Hall has landed on his feet and looks set to step into the boxing ring against NFL star Le'Veon Bell on the Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva undercard.

After losing to Sean Strickland and Andre Muniz back-to-back, the Jamaican-American middleweight decided to end his time in mixed martial arts. Despite never capturing the 185lbs title, Hall will always be remembered for his devastating spinning hook kick knockout of Adam Cella during his time on The Ultimate Fighter.

As Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions announced, Uriah Hall will compete against Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Le'Veon Bell in a four-round cruiserweight clash.

The event, headlined by Jake Paul and Anderson Silva, will also feature former UFC featherweight competitor Chris Avila, who's perhaps best known for being a friend and training partner of Nate Diaz.
