Anderson Silva has already booked his next fight after Jake Paul boxing clash

Anderson Silva has already booked his place in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament despite being in training for a boxing fight with Jake Paul.

The UFC legend will take to the squared circle in a huge fight with YouTube star Paul on October 29 in Phoenix. It will be his fifth professional boxing fight having recently recorded a shock victory over former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, before a successful exhibition against Bruno Machado earlier this year.

A win for Silva could see him propelled into further boxing outings, if he is to become the first man to put a halt to the content creator's rising career. However the former UFC middleweight champion for now is just delighted to have freedom in being able to negotiate a whole host of fighting opportunities after previously being tied down to a contract.
