Jake Paul was earlier set to face an established professional boxer, Hasim Rahman Jr. in August. However, due to weight issues, the fight got canceled at the last moment. Now, the 5-0 boxer has announced that he would return to the ring in October. Though the opponent is not clear, the Ohio-based boxer is reportedly in rumors for a fight against former UFC Middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

‘The Problem Child’ has not been to any boxing contest since the previous year. Now, his comeback fight storylines indicate he is most likely to take a shot against an opponent, who has the longest title reign in UFC history. As a result, if this fight reaches fruition, it is going to be a tough battle for the 25-year-old social media star.
