Jake Paul is making a return to the ring after a chain of bout cancellations. And he is all set to face MMA GOAT Anderson Silva for a tango inside the boxing ring. Boxing fans have since speculated how Paul will fare against the former UFC superstar. Meanwhile, boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya shared his thoughts on who the possible victor might be.

In conversation, De La Hoya was asked who he thought would emerge victorious in the upcoming Paul vs. Silva showdown. De La Hoya responded by saying, “That’s a good fight. Wow. I’m gonna go with, I’m gonna go with Jake Paul, just because he seems like he’s getting into the rhythm of things you know.”

Moreover, De La Hoya did not mince words while declaring the potential outcome of the fight. He said, “He doesn’t have too many fights. Loves boxing, is a hard worker. And has a lot of power. He connects Silva, he’s knocking him out. He touches Silva. He’s going down.”
