Jake Paul plans to return on August 6 with the glove with Hasim Rahman but later had to cancel it at the last minute. However, Jake and his team quickly scheduled back after two months. This rival of the MXH star is the legendary UFC Anderson Silva.
The first news about this glove was released by TMZ Sports. Other sources later added that the confrontation between the two boxers will be broadcast on the showtime platform.
Anderson Silva is 48 years old this year. He quit UFC since 2020 after losing 5 of the last 6 comparison, including 3 consecutive losses. He returned to Boxing last year and had 2 victories.
This will be the return of the Paul brother after the victory over Tyron Woodley in December 2021. Not long ago, the World Boxing Council (WBC) said it would put Jake in their charts if this horizontal fighter could overcome Rahman. At this time, WBC only ranked to the top 40 and the 40th position in Jake's weight class is Romano Kujak. This puncher has a record of 11-0 but has not confronted any notable opponent.
In terms of physical condition, Anderson Silva will be an opponent suitable for Jake at this time. Although still keeping the achievement unbeaten, Jake still has many holes in the way of fighting at this time.
