Jake Paul could be in line to face his most difficult test to date.
The social-media-personality-turned-boxer will reportedly face former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva in a boxing match on Oct. 29. TMZ Sports was first to report the booking, while NoSmokeBoxing initially brought word of the targeted date. The bout would headlined a Showtime pay-per-view card. A location and venue was not confirmed.
Most Valuable Promotions, which is Paul’s company, teased an announcement over the weekend, claiming Paul would “almost certainly be the underdog” in his next fight.
