In addition, Paul also revealed how fighting Silva affected his body, even leading to some of his body parts getting reassembled. In a recent video with YouTuber Deestroying, Paul was featured in a sparring session with the YouTuber. He was then asked about his nose which seemed a bit crooked to Deestroying, after which Paul made a shocking revelation.

Jake Paul details how Anderson Silva reassembled his nose

Paul would then reveal that his nose was crooked due to his meditation and not because of boxing. However, he added that Silva straightened his nose out a little bit during their match. “My nose is crooked, but that’s from meditating. Anderson Silva straightened it so it was more curved. I swear to god he straightened it out,” said Paul.

While the Ohio-based boxer’s nose was not crooked because of boxing, facing Sliva made it more symmetrical according to Paul. However, he should be thankful that he didn’t suffer from any career-ending injury as he sets his sights on making his mark in boxing.

Later in the video, Paul also detailed the times he was in danger of getting knocked out. He stated that he was hit hard in sparring quite a few times and claimed that he was hurt during the first Woodley fight as well. However, he shrugged off these incidents stating that it was all part of boxing.

Yeah I mean I’ve gotten hit really hard in sparring definitely there in the one Tyron fight where I was on the ropes. That was a good hit. I mean it’s part of the sport,” he said. Paul is currently undefeated with a professional record of 6-0. However, he is yet to face a significant challenge. If ‘The Problem Child’ really wants to leave a somewhat lasting legacy in the sport he certainly needs to go a long way from where he is now.
