Jake Paul asked to his face whether he actually punched Anderson Silva

Former world heavyweight title challenger Derek Chisora asked Jake Paul to his face if he truly knocked down Anderson Silva with a punch in the eighth round of their fight.

Chisora was on stage with Paul at the promotional press conference for the American's bout with Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia last night after the Love Island star opted not to attend the promotional event. And in a funny moment, the heavyweight asked directly if he had landed his combination that put down Silva.

Paul and Silva have both previously denied that it was a phantom punch, with conspiracy theories swirling based on one angle which was shared across social media. Other angles clearly show that Silva was hit cleanly and the knockdown was legitimate, but Fury and other rivals of the YouTube star have used it as ammunition against his boxing credentials.
