What’s in store for Jake Paul

The cancellation of the two fights did not down the spirits of ‘The Problem Child’.  In fact, he is all set to face the MMA GOAT, Anderson Smith. It was announced on September 6, 2022, that Paul will be facing the legend for an October showdown.

While many have called out Paul for not fighting ‘real boxers’. It should be mentioned that Silva has an illustrious MMA career spanning 23 years. He has an impressive record of 34-11-0 in the UFC, with a whopping 23 knockouts. Silva also transitioned into boxing and showcased a stellar performance against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Paul vs Silva is scheduled to take place at the Desert Diamond Arena, Glendale, Arizona, on October 29, 2022.
