After what has been a frustrating year for Jake Paul inside the ring, he finally has a fight in 2022 when he faces MMA legend Anderson Silva at the end of October.
Paul was originally set to face Hasim Rahman Jr back in August, but this fight was then cancelled due to weight discrepancies between the pair.
Now Paul is set for what is arguably his toughest test. Silva is no pushover when it comes to boxing, despite losing his first fight as a professional. Silva has gone on to win his last three fights with two of those wins coming by way of knockout.
Expect another entertaining build-up between two intriguing characters in the world of combat sports ahead of what should be an exciting fight.
