Bell, who previously played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets, wrote on X that Paul should at least be able to fight someone who knows “how to defend themselves.”
“lol bra, this is laughable,” Bell wrote. “I don’t even care if he decides to fight me or not, just fight somebody who actually knows how to defend themselves.”
Garcia, who is prepping for a fight against Devin Haney for the WBC super lightweight title, said he was ready to end Paul’s entire career.
“Okay enough, it’s on I’m going to have to do this! I’m going to end this JAKE PAUL BOXING THING,” Garcia added on X. “BRING IT ON JAKE IM DEAD F—–G SERIOUS F— YOU! HIT MY TEAM UP.”

Paul responded to Garcia’s challenge in his post-fight press conference.
“Ryan, I love you, you know that bro but you gotta chill out,” Paul said. “You just seem like you’re losing your mind. Acting thirsty and desperate.… I’m just saying, just chill bro. If you do wanna fight, to me, that’s light work. You got no foot work and as long as you’ve been in the game, I’m a better boxer than you.”
After Paul won against Bourland, he called out Canelo Alvarez.
“Hey Canelo, stop ducking. I know you want it,” he said.
