Overview
- Paul had challenged Bell to a winner-take-all $1 million bout next weekend with 10-ounce gloves, no headgear, three-minute rounds, no judges, and money held in escrow.
- During a livestream, he said WWE told him not to risk injury, and he later posted that he is returning to Monday Night Raw each week on Netflix.
- Bell mocked the pullout on X, calling it a duck and later branding it the “GREATEST DUCK OF ALL TIME.”
- Former NFL lineman Breiden Fehoko, who also accepted the gym challenge, declared himself 1-0 after the cancellation and taunted the Paul brothers.
- No contract was signed for the proposed crossover fight, which now remains unconfirmed with no timetable.
