Jake Paul is gearing up to face the biggest challenge of his career. He is all set to square off with the former UFC veteran Anderson Silva on October 29 at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona, US.
Ahead of this highly anticipated clash, he dropped a video on Instagram. This brief clip showed ‘The Problem Child’ showcasing his hand speed during a shadow boxing session in the ring.

Interestingly, his art has improved a lot. The angles with which he is unleashing his fists were better. If you forget for a minute that the guy is not a YouTuber, you would wrong him for a well-trained experienced boxer.
The main purpose of sharing this clip was to show that he was ready to face Silva, who is considered a big threat to him.
The caption of the post read, “A life without risk isn’t a life worth living. 7 days. Next Saturday. The biggest risk yet.”
Certainly, it is a big risk for the Ohio-based boxer. He has never faced a fighter of Silva’s stature in his entire career. Though he faced MMA fighters prior to this contest, they were not as good at striking as Silva.
When this post circulated on social media, it caught fans’ attention.
How did fans react to Jake Paul showcasing his set of skills?
Several fans had different things to discuss. A fan wrote, “Looking shredded.”
Another fan wrote, “he’s actually a boxer now.”
“And people think ksi will beat him”, another fan mentioned.
Another fan wrote, “A life without Jake ain’t worth living.”
“Bro lookin dangerous ngl,” another fan wrote.
A social media user wrote, “Fighting a 50year old man isn’t a risk.”

Silva is pretty old in comparison to the 25-year-old American YouTuber. He is 47-year-old and does not have much experience in professional boxing. This could go in Paul’s favor, but Silva‘s fighting experience can’t be ignored.
Another fan wrote, “jake will win that yeah.” Interesting but the actual winner would emerge on October 29.
“Looking good champ, learn tactics too !!” another fan wrote.
