Claressa Shields is hopeful that Jake Paul will be knocked out if he does eventually face UFC legend Anderson Silva in the boxing ring.
Shields and Paul had a long-running feud, but appeared to have squashed their rivalry over the past few months, making complimentary comments about one another. But Shields has changed her tune and said that she is hopeful of seeing Silva, who has re-emerged as a combat sports force in his late forties as a boxer, knock him out.
Paul has gone 5-0 as a professional boxer, and stopped all four of his opponents since his January 2020 debut, including MMA champions Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. But he has yet to fight anyone who boxed professionally before or after facing him.
