Anderson Silva is cleared to fight against Jake Paul Saturday after the Arizona Boxing Commission met on Thursday, per Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix.
One commission member said Silva had a “pristine” MRI, and he has no physical issues.
The emergency meeting held Thursday night came after the 47-year-old said Sept. 13 that he was previously knocked out twice during a training session. This caused concern for his endurance as he gets set to face the 25-year-old influencer-turned-boxer.
But, on Wednesday, Silva told reporters that he was just “joking” with his comment regarding his training session knockouts.
