Jake Paul insists the same "secret punches" which have dropped his sparring partners will be the key to knocking out Anderson Silva in their upcoming fight.
Paul, 25, looks for his sixth professional win when he fights 47-year-old UFC legend Silva in arguably his toughest challenge to date on October 29. Their fight will take place over eight rounds of three minutes with both men weighing 187lb, two pounds above the weight at which Silva reigned as UFC champion. Paul is also giving up a size advantage for the first time in his short-lived boxing career, with Silva an inch taller.
Relishing the chance to face a southpaw, Paul teased he will show off the 'secret punches' he's been drilling in training camp against Silva. "I think it's going to be a very tough fight in the beginning, but I will slowly be able to get him to retreat once he feels my power. I've got some secret punches for him lined up that have been dropping my sparring partners," he told ESPN.
