Mike Tyson’s opponent after Jake Paul could be a former NFL teammate of Patrick Mahomes😱😱

The much-anticipated fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul finally has a new date. AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas will host the fully-sanctioned professional bout on Nov. 15, when former heavyweight champion Tyson will make his return to the ring after 19 years to take on former YouTube star Paul — a fighter 30 years Tyson’s junior.

But many fans want to know what Tyson’s plans are after the fight, given the 57-year-old’s recent ulcer flare-up and the intense interest in his bout with Paul. Nothing is finalized, but a former NFL star has submitted his candidacy to be Tyson’s next challenger if Iron Mike decides to continue his unlikely boxing comeback.

Former All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell was among the NFL’s best rushers in his prime. A strong and explosive back, Bell played with both Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady (in Tampa Bay) during his eight-year football career. But Bell has found a new calling in the ring and has embarked on a pro boxing career — and his ambition has led him to Tyson.

Bell took to X (formerly Twitter) to ask Tyson to spar with him, even though Bell has just three fights’ worth of experience under his belt. The 32-year-old lost to former MMA star Uriah Hall in his maiden professional bout in 2022 before winning his next two.
