Jake Paul has been told to avoid a fight with UFC legend Anderson Silva this summer.
The YouTube star will return to the ring on August 13 having been out of action since his rematch win over Tyron Woodley last December. Silva recently dominated his third boxing bout against Bruno Machado, which led to Paul issuing a call-out on social media.
And UFC welterweight Stephen Thompson believes Silva has the boxing ability to go one step further than Paul's previous opponents Woodley and Ben Askren. I don't think he [Paul] wants to finesse Anderson Silva", Thompson said on his YouTube channel. "Tyron Woodley is not Anderson Silva. Ben Askren is not Anderson Silva. I don't think Jake Paul would do that. I don't think so. I think Anderson Silva's got the finesse to beat him.
