What time is Jake Paul fighting Anderson Silva? Start time, odds and how to watch in Ireland

While Irish boxing fans are primarily focused on seeing Katie Taylor's latest defence of her lightweight titles in London, there will be a certain amount of interest in a far less conventional bout stateside in the early hours of Sunday morning too.

That's because YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul will be facing off against MMA icon Anderson Silva in Arizona.

Aside from the gulf in their respective combat sport backgrounds, there is also a huge age difference with the Brazilian now 47 while Paul does at least have that going for him as he's 25.

What time are they expected to be in the ring for?

It's an inexact science as ever based on how the preceding bouts turn out but estimations suggest the opening bell will ring around 5:15 am on Sunday October 30 Irish time.

Remember that the clocks go back during the card, so if you are setting your alarm to go an hour earlier than you usually would for a big American card.

What are the odds?

Paddy Power have Paul as the favourite at 4/9 while the former UFC middleweight champion is priced at 9/5.

A draw is available at 12/1.
