Watch Silva and Paul face off in the embedded video player above.
Paul, 25, aims for a sixth consecutive professional boxing victory in his undefeated career when facing the legendary Silva. Taking on former mixed martial arts (MMA) champions is nothing new for the YouTube star, defeating former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champion, Tyron Woodley, twice, and former Bellator and ONE Championship champion, Ben Askren, in his last three bouts.
Silva, 47, however, is expected to be his toughest test yet.
“The Spider” has won three boxing matches of his own since departing UFC and MMA in Oct. 2020. Known for his incredible striking and savvy submission abilities during his MMA career, Silva presents the most precise striking approach Paul has been tasked with. Accompany that with the power each possesses, and the matchup provides plenty of intrigue.
