Eddie Hearn has admitted he would like to see Jake Paul come through his test with Anderson Silva next month.
Paul will take on the most significant challenge of his boxing career when he faces UFC legend Silva on October 29 in Phoenix. Matchroom Boxing promoter Hearn, who has worked with Paul on promoting the fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano this year, has previously been critical of the star's boxing career.
The pair have traded verbal barbs in the past, particularly after Hearn labelled Paul an "average" boxer which wound up the YouTube star. Although not meaning it as disrespect, Hearn recently hit out at Paul again after he made a $2million offer for the rematch between Serrano and Taylor.
