Anderson Silva is considered one of the greatest fighters in MMA history for good reason. He went up against many top names in the MMA world when he used to be active. After his release from UFC back in 2020, Silva hasn’t been quiet and is not finished in combat sports at all.
Jake Paul has always been part of huge boxing matches, and he always manages to build up a ton of hype for his matches. Since last year, Paul had been hinting at facing Anderson Silva in a boxing match.
Paul then recently announced that he will be squaring off against ‘The Spider’ on October 29th in Phoenix, Arizona, at the Gila River Arena. While speaking to ESPN MMA, Anderson Silva claimed that the Paul brothers changed the world of boxing.
”I think the world has changed a lot you know. Everything is new. COVID changed everything you know, everything is new now. Jake and his brother are doing an amazing job with the new things. And I’m so happy to continue to do something special.”
We will have to wait and see if The Problem Child will be able to win the fight. It will certainly be his hardest challenge yet, but he also has momentum on his side right now.
