Jake Paul and Anderson Silva will do battle on October 29, with the YouTuber-turned-boxer finally facing an opponent with a winning boxing record.
Fans will still complain that Silva is 47-years-old and not a fully legitimate boxer, but he has a number of things that Paul needs to tick off his list. He is physically bigger than the social media star, and has a winning professional boxing record that includes a scalp over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr; a former world champion.
Paul has indicated he will fight KSI, his long-time YouTube rival, next summer at Wembley Stadium in a huge winner-take-all showdown. But he will still have to tick over with more fights against the likes of Silva after spending what will have been over 10 months out of the ring when he faces the UFC superstar.
