Tom Brady’s Ex-Teammate’s Strong Message to Jake Paul as Mike Tyson’s Rival Claims Victory Over Super Bowl

The Day Iron Mike melted… The man who once made opponents rethink their life choices just took an L. And no, it wasn’t a video game glitch. At 58, Mike Tyson—still arguably the baddest man on the planet—faced the one opponent even he couldn’t outpunch: time. Jake Paul pulled off the upset (against odds), winning by unanimous decision (80-72, 79-73, 79-73). But the post-fight drama? Oh, it’s just getting started. Enter Tom Brady‘s ex-Bucs teammate.

Yup, we are talking about Le’Veon Bell. The former RB on the gridiron now runs his opponents out of stamina in the ring. Now, he is ready to throw his hat (and fists) into the ring with Jake. Bell didn’t waste time stirring the pot. He hopped onto X and dropped a photoshopped picture of him, landing a knockout punch on Jake Paul, captioning it: “Le’Veon vs @jakepaul next.” Bold, right? But hear me out—this isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds.

The thing is, Bell’s no stranger to the ring, and he’s got a solid resume: a 3-1 pro boxing record and a knack for surprising people, whether on the field or in the ring.

And if we need evidence for that, we can always turn back the pages to Bell’s NFL days that saw him catching passes from none other than Tom Brady during his short stint with the Bucs. Sure, it wasn’t a career-defining era, but the guy has proven he can adapt.

Moreover, if this fight goes through, he’s not stepping into this fight as some washed-up athlete chasing clout. His boxing career already includes a fifth-round KO of Adrian Peterson and a unanimous win over YouTuber JMX. That said, Jake Paul isn’t exactly a pushover anymore. Sure, he’s not prime Floyd Mayweather, but he’s improved.

And about that big-if part? Yeah, this fight, that Bell’s manifesting, might not even go through considering the numbers (viewership) Jake vs. Tyson pulled. Nearing Super Bowl… if you are to go by Paul’s words.

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson crashed Netflix… but was it SB-level crazy?

Credit where it is due: Jake Paul sure knows how to sell a fight. I mean, both Paul brothers do. But they hyped this fight to the max. And still, Jake believes there’s room for more. After defeating Mike Tyson, the YouTuber-turned-boxer dropped a bold claim: their bout might’ve pulled more viewers than the Super Bowl. Yep, you heard that right. Paul said: “I think it was six times the numbers that I thought… But bigger than the Super Bowl? That’s a little teaser there. Netflix crashed, yeah, but shout out to the Netflix engineers we love you, they fixed it right away.” Phew—that’s some statement to make.

Paul’s victory at AT&T Stadium was historic. I mean, who dreams of beating the guy who was frenemies with Muhammad Ali? But it wasn’t just the punches that had people buzzing—it was the streaming chaos. Netflix crashed mid-fight. Again… and again, leaving fans watching the loading screens for much of the fight.

Sure, Tyson wasn’t the same beast who terrorized boxing rings decades ago. Still, he managed to take the fight to the distance. But was the fight as epic as advertised? Well, we’d stay clear of that argument (you can have your say in the comments). But some are saying that the undercard might’ve stolen the show, with Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano putting on a clinic in the co-main event. Choose your winner here.

So, back to Paul’s claim. Could this fight really have topped the NFL’s crown jewel? We’ll drop some numbers here. The Super Bowl averages around 100 million viewers annually, peaking at 114.4 million in 2015. To beat that? Yeah, we’d like stronger evidence. Sure, Paul’s co-promoter hinted their numbers might’ve even beaten legendary bouts like Mayweather vs. McGregor. But so far, even that does not seem likely. Let’s wait for the receipts, shall we?

So, did it hit Super Bowl-level hype? Probably not. Never mind—love him or hate him. Jake Paul knows how to command attention.
