Bell said after the fight that he appreciated everyone's support. I kept going because of that. It's all the hate that makes me want to do things.

Bell said that he has put football behind him and that he wants to go to boxing.

Bell said before the event that he wanted to become a star in the ring after a stellar career in football.

He played in four games for the Tennessee and Seattle teams last year. Bell did not officially retire. He said he accepted the chance to have fun and stay in shape for a possible return to the football team.
