Jake Paul is reacting after the boxing match with Anderson Silva is made official for October 29th.
Yes, it’s confirmed that former UFC champion Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva will enter the ring to compete with Jake Paul at the Gila River Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.
Jake Paul, 25, is 5-0 as a pro boxer with knockouts of former MMA champs Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. Paul’s most recent win was a sixth-round knockout of Woodley in December of 2021.

Joe Rogan, speaking on a recent episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast weighed in on the potential of such a match-up saying:
“I love it. If Jake Paul really decides to fight Anderson, that’s a very, very, very tough fight. Anderson, if he just went straight into boxing, would have been a f*cking world champion.”
Well, now that it’s official – who do you predict will win this October – Jake Paul or Anderson Silva?
