Jake Paul returns to the ring after almost a year away tonight when he faces legendary former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
Paul was due back in action this summer, but saw fights with Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr both cancelled. Tonight, he returns to the well of MMA legends when he takes on the 47-year-old Silva, who has found a new lease on life in the boxing ring after leaving the UFC in 2020.
Bookies have the fight almost even between the two men, with the Brazilian holding advantages in reach and height, while the YouTuber is younger and has knocked out his four opponents as a professional. The undercard features a host of influencers, sport stars and legitimate boxers in a sort of hybrid between YouTube boxing and full professional action.
