After a number of botched attempts, Jake Paul finally has his return to the ring in place. The 25-year-old influencer was supposed to face Tommy Fury, then Hashim Rahman Jr. but both those bouts fells away for various reasons.
Now, Paul has landed a spot opposite combat sports legend Anderson Silva. The 47-year-old former UFC middleweight champion comes into this one fresh off a satisfying KO win over fellow ex-UFC champ Tito Ortiz.
