Bell, who built his reputation as one of the most versatile running backs of his era, has remained active in combat sports discussions since his playing career. The former Pittsburgh Steelers standout has previously shown interest in boxing, making his perspective part of the growing conversation around athletes transitioning into the sport.

Garrett, meanwhile, is widely regarded as one of the most physically dominant defensive players in the league. Known for his strength, explosiveness and athletic ability, the Browns pass rusher has developed a reputation as one of the league’s most imposing figures on the field.
