[Boxing] is just to help with my cardio and my stamina. It’s a little different than football, and I try to stay off my joints in the offseason as much as possible, still get cardio. Instead of cutting and doing a lot of drills, I’ve been doing a lot of boxing training,” said Bell.

Aside from his training, it also seems that Bell has been eager to get in the ring and box at this point. He has shown this by calling out another celebrity boxer in Jake Paul numerous times. With that, Bell must feel confident enough to take his talents into the ring.
As for AP, he is going into the bout with no previous boxing experience or at least none that has surfaced which would explain why his odds are sitting in the underdog scenario.
The fight is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on July 30 from Crypto.com Arena.
