IT'S FIGHT NIGHT! Influencer and ‘Boxtuber’ events have become a huge commodity in the past couple of years, and the next boxing bout for social media megastar Jake Paul is a big one.
Whilst the YouTuber turned boxer has already defeated some former UFC and MMA fighters in Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, his next bout appears to be against one of the greatest octagon fighters in the history of the sport: Anderson Silva.
Despite the fact that ‘The Spider’ Silva is now 47 years old, he does represent a genuine challenge for the ‘Problem Child,’ as he has a 2-0 record in the boxing ring and is a prolific striker, having secured a huge win on the undercard of a recent Floyd Mayweather card.
Here is everything we know right now about Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva, including the fight date, the card for the event and more.
