Arizona Boxing Commission Calls Meeting Ahead of Paul-Silva Fight

Jake Paul and Anderson Silva are set to compete in a boxing match on Saturday, Oct. 29, but now it looks like the match could potentially not happen as the Arizona Boxing and MMA Commission is set to hold a meeting to review Silva’s eligibility to fight.

The boxing commission will hold the emergency meeting on Thursday night to come to a conclusion about Saturday’s fight, which takes place in Glendale, Ariz.

The meeting comes after the 47-year-old Silva noted that he was previously knocked out twice during a training session. This comment, which he said on Sept. 13, sparked concern for his endurance.
