Logan Paul, known for his careers as an influencer, boxer, and WWE star, has ignited a feud with NFL veteran Tom Brady by claiming he could defeat any football player in a boxing match. The exchange began weeks ago when Paul declared himself superior to NFL athletes, prompting playful retorts from Brady and comments from WWE figures, with Brady even calling Paul a “b***h.” Paul escalated the rivalry by publicly offering $1 million to any current or former NFL player willing to face him in the ring, emphasizing his confidence during his ImPaulsive podcast appearance.

Paul clearly challenged the entire league, asserting,

“Not a single football player could beat me in a boxing match, that is on God. Any football player. Myles Garrett, Puka Nacua, Tom Brady, Gronk, Sam Darnold, it doesn’t matter,”

and adding,

“A million dollars. You come to the gym, we put on boxing gloves, we’ll see how it goes. Not a single one. There’s levels to this s**t.”

Reactions from NFL Stars and Subsequent Exchanges

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, known for his imposing size, was one of the first football players mentioned as a target for the challenge, with Paul confidently stating he would “throttle” Garrett in a fight. Former NFL running back Le’Veon Bell, who now holds a 2-1 professional boxing record, responded to Paul’s challenge publicly, calling him out to officially set up a match. Bell tweeted,

“STOP DUCKING [Logan Paul] .. bro tryna fight an NFL player that’s never fought before .. let’s set it up bro, we all heard you say you can beat any NFL player .. we can fight in April, the NFL draft is in PITTSBURGH .. we can fight NFL draft weekend! let’s make it happen.”

Despite Bell’s readiness, Paul dismissed the possibility of fighting him, explaining,

“A.) you’re not in the NFL B.) you can actually fight so I’d have to properly train, meaning I’d have to step away from WWE (which I won’t do, especially not for you) C.) There’s no money here because you’re not a draw. Prove me otherwise Ofc YOU want the opportunity, I’m a goldmine for retirees like you. But gg.”

Additional NFL Players Respond to Logan Paul’s Proposal

Following the viral challenge, several other NFL athletes stepped forward to accept Paul’s offer. Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Kingsley Suamataia, Dallas Cowboys center Brock Hoffman, and UFL linebacker Tae Crowder of the Birmingham Stallions expressed interest in testing themselves against the influencer and boxer.

Logan Paul acknowledged their responses via direct messages, reinforcing the stakes of his proposal:

“You actually down? $1M bet. Money in escrow. 3 professional judges. Six three minute rounds here in Puerto Rico. 10oz gloves. Can have it drawn up.”

Although confirming the terms, it remains unclear if any of these athletes will physically face Paul in an official boxing match.

Implications of the Challenge and Potential Next Steps

This spirited callout highlights Paul’s ongoing audacity as he seeks to prove his boxing credentials against professional athletes from a different sport. If one of the NFL players agrees to the bout, it would mark Paul’s return to boxing after a two-year hiatus, while simultaneously drawing widespread attention at the intersection of sports and entertainment.

The prospect of such a crossover fight could influence both boxing and football communities, potentially paving the way for more celebrity-athlete boxing matchups during major sporting events like the NFL draft weekend. As interest builds, fans and analysts will watch keenly to see if any NFL star accepts Paul’s challenge in earnest, setting the stage for a high-profile showdown.
