Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva time: When do ring walks for fight start in UK and US this weekend?
Jake Paul faces his toughest boxing test yet when he goes up against former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva this weekend.
YouTube star Paul has gone unbeaten at 5-0 since beginning his professional boxing venture, knocking out every opponent he has fought. In his most recent bout, the American stopped another former UFC title holder in Tyron Woodley.
That result last December saw Paul, 25, go one better than his decision win against his compatriot from last August, while Silva has a 3-1 pro boxing record.
At 47, age is against Silva, though he is seen by many as the greatest UFC fighter of all time and holds a boxing win against former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr – driving home the “Spider”’s fighting pedigree.
Here’s all you need to know.
