Jake Paul’s boxing journey continues on Saturday, as the YouTube star takes on former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
Paul is 5-0 as a professional boxer, having knocked out each opponent he has fought. Most recently, the American stopped ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley in December – going one better than the decision win he recorded against the American last August.
Since then, Paul, 25, has seen bouts with Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr fall through. Meanwhile, Silva is regarded by many as the greatest UFC fighter of all time, and the Brazilian has a 3-1 professional boxing record.
At 47, age is against Silva, though he does hold a decision win over former boxing world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr – driving home the “Spider”’s fighting pedigree.
