Jake Paul will face his toughest challenge to date when he takes on UFC legend Anderson Silva on October 29.
Paul, 25, is expected to meet Silva, 47, in his sixth professional fight according to YouTube news show host Keemstar. The news comes after Paul teased the announcement on Twitter, writing: "Just got the call. Massive opponent announcement this week. October."
The fight will mark the opponent Paul has faced with a professional boxing record so far, having previously fought YouTuber AnEsonGib, former NBA star Nate Robinson and now-retired MMA champions Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. Silva, who left the UFC in 2020, is 3-1 in boxing with his lone loss coming over 20 years ago in his ring debut.
