The bout acted as the co-main occasion of MF & & DAZN: X Series 15 together with the promo’s females’s middleweight champion in between Paige VanZant and Elle Brooke.
The 32-year-old Bell played in the NFL from 2013-2017 and 2019-2021, with his prime time accompanying the Pittsburgh Steelers over those very first 5 years. The three-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro delighted in 3 dominant seasons with the Steelers in 2014, 2016 and 2017, especially collecting 6,045 backyards from skirmish and 31 goals over those years. For his profession, Bell had 9,843 overall backyards and 51 ratings.
Bell has 3 boxing battles to his name. He beat fellow ex-NFL star running back Adrian Peterson in an exhibit battle (fifth-round knockout) in Sept. 2022. Bell was 1-1 expertly, losing through consentaneous choice to ex-MMA star Uriah Hall in Oct. 2022 and beating British YouTuber JMX through consentaneous choice in March 2023.
The 28-year-old Hamm, a Canadian outdoors and preservation influencer, has one expert boxing win to his name after knocking out Rodney Petersen Jr. (referred to as “Not Logan Paul”) in January at MF & & DAZN: X Series 12. Petersen significantly has an amateur MMA record of 0-6.
“I’m a jack-of-all-trades,” Hamm informed Jared Schwartz of The New York City Post
“It’s difficult to describe to individuals who I am and what I do. My entire life has actually been around doing the important things I enjoy, and determining how to make money to do it. I do what I like, then I figure out how to get paid. That enables me to do more things that I like. It can in some cases be actually difficult, and other times it appears simple. This is among those times it feels simple.”
Bell will now deal with the victor of the quarterfinal bout in between Love Island’s Jake Cornish and Nigerian high jumper Mike Edwards.
