Jake Paul was up on all three judges scorecards before dropping Anderson Silva in the final round of their fight.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, 25, won a unanimous decision against the 47-year-old UFC legend after eight hard-fought rounds, extending his unbeaten record to six professional fights. It was arguably Paul's best performance since turning professional two and a half years ago with the judges scoring the bout 77-74, 78-73 and 78-73 after the final bell.
Judges Dennis O'Connell and Chris Wilson awarded every round other than the second and fifth to Paul while judge Paul Colderon had it closer as he scored the second round in favour Silva as well as the second and fifth. Paul secured the win in the final round by dropping Silva with an overhand right, but even if Silva would have won the last round it wouldn't have mattered.
