Jake Paul expects a ton of interest in his boxing match with Anderson Silva once fight night rolls around.
Paul (5-0), the notorious YouTuber-turned boxer, will face what many think to be his toughest test yet in former longtime UFC middleweight champion Silva (3-1). The pair meet in an eight-round, 180-pound bout Oct. 29 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Ariz. The card airs on Showtime pay-per-view.
The hype for the contest is already in full swing. Paul and Silva recently did a two-city media tour where they talked up the bout and engaged in pre-fight faceoffs. Paul said the promotion hasn’t reached its boiling point, either, with a special “All Access” series and more still to debut.
