Anderson “Spider” Silva will be fighting YouTuber and social media personality, Jake Paul on the 29th of October 2022. The fight will be taking place in Phoenix Arizona and as Anderson said in his recent post, it will be broadcasted in Brazil for all his fans to watch.
In a recent upload on Instagram, Silva posted a picture face-to-face with Jake Paul telling his fans and followers in his caption that this ‘will be the biggest fighting event of the year and will make history forever in the sport.’ His fight in Abu Dhabi seemed like a huge boxing event with world boxing champion, Floyd Mayweather also fighting in the same ring on the same night, but Silva believes his fight with Paul will make ‘history.’
The full caption read ‘I am fully convinced that this will be the biggest fighting event of the year and will make history forever in the sport. See you on October 29 I said the fight will be in Phoenix Arizona but will be broadcasted on the combat channel in Brazil.’
Did Anderson say this after the respect Jake Paul paid him with his compliments to the UFC fighter on Twitter? Jake Paul has previously mentioned Silva being “the most versatile fighter the world has ever seen” and in his statement on the upcoming fight, he told everyone “I will walk humbly into the ring, touch gloves with a living legend, and do my best to exterminate “The Spider.”
Paul was training to fight with Tyson Fury’s younger brother Tommy Fury in August; however, the fight did not go to plan. Due to travel issues, Fury withdrew from the fight posting a video online confirming that was the problem and why he could not go ahead with the fight in New York. There were videos going back and forth between the two and Jake Paul turned to Twitter to voice his opinion about what he thought of Fury which was of course entertaining for fans and followers.
Jake Paul said in an interview “I always train like I am fighting the best person in the world.” When asked what intrigues him about this challenge, Jake replied “he was my idol growing up and he was the first celebrity I ever met and now I get to share the ring with him, that, first and foremost, is just super cool.” He also mentioned how people thought he was “going to take this fight” motivating him further and creating a real challenge for him.
