The #PaulSilva fight has been confirmed by Jake Paul and Anderson Silva on social media and we are ready for another fight night.
What happened to the Paul & Fury fight?
Jake Paul, known for tweeting regularly about fighting his next opponent has finally confirmed a fight in Arizona.

Tommy Fury had told his followers in reply back to Jake’s posts and videos, that he was rejected entry into the USA and therefore unable to fight.

Anderson Silva in Abu Dhabi
Following on from the Fury/Paul debacle, a fight is now confirmed and both professional boxers will be in the ring together for the first time. Anderson Silva’s last major fight was in the ring with Bruno Machado at the Mayweather exhibition fight in Abu Dhabi. The “spider” showcased his fighting in an eight-round fight with an unofficial winner. Representing their countries, both fighters kneeled down as a sign of respect at the end of the fight, leaving the ring with admiration for one another. What we expect at the end of the #PaulSilva fight, we don’t know!

What we do know is that although Jake Paul is a YouTuber and social media entertainer picking up fights over Twitter, he does show respect to Anderson Silva. A while ago, he had also tweeted ‘You’re the man!’ and in his caption he wrote ‘My toughest test yet. I respect the legend’ and in true Paul style, finished it off with …’but he must be exterminated.’
Voted as one of the top 15 fighters with presence on KSI’s recent tweet this week, we are eager to see how Jake Paul will be during the #PaulSilva fight in the ring. Brother and YouTuber Logan Paul may also be showing face at the fight to support Jake.
