YouTube influencer Jake Paul will return to the ring to face former UFC middleweight champion and MMA legend Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva. Paul’s upcoming bout with Silva will head the main event the pay-per-view held in-person in Glenda, Arizona.
Paul is among the most well-known influencer boxers since the sport’s popularization among content creators. The younger Paul brother debuted in 2020 after his initial fight with AnEnsonGib and has since boasted an undefeated 6 – 0 record, claiming wins against former UFC fighters, NBA champions, and fellow influencers along the way.
The YouTuber will now face his greatest challenge yet taking on the Brazilian UFC legend Anderson Silva. Obtaining his Arizona boxing license just prior to their fight, Silva already competed in several boxing matches alongside his illustrious MMA career.
