While there’s nothing easy about an NFL training camp, Bell admits that getting ready for a boxing match has required even more out of him. “Hands down preparing for a fight [is tougher],” Bell said during a press conference on Thursday.

Francis Ngannou is no longer the UFC heavyweight champion, and in fact is no longer in the UFC.
