KSI, the CEO of Misfits Boxing, revealed that former NFL star Le’Veon Bell will be competing against Youtuber Joel Morris at a Misfits Boxing 6 event in New Orleans on April 21st, 2023.
Bell is set to make his debut in the Misfits Boxing event, marking his third boxing match overall. He had previously participated in an amateur match against Adrian Peterson at Social Gloves 2 in September 2022.
Later in October, he fought in a professional match against Uriah Hall as part of the Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva undercard.

In his first professional fight, Bell was defeated by Hall after four disappointing rounds in a below-average performance.
However, in his next fight against Peterson, Bell made an impressive comeback and scored a remarkable knockout in the fifth round. With that being said, the boxing community had plenty to say on the matter.
