Jake Paul is reportedly going to take on UFC legend Anderson Silva in his next boxing match in October.
The 5-0 (4 KOs) YouTuber-turned-boxer previously shared the ring with two MMA stars in his boxing career, KOing both Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.

Now though, it's claimed that he will take on a far tougher challenger.
According to YouTube reporter KEEMSTAR, Jake will meet the legendary Anderson Silva.
It was already confirmed that his next bout is due to take place in October.
Silva, 47, is first and foremost an MMA icon, however he also has professional boxing experience.
Back in 1998, he lost his boxing debut in Brazil, though won his first boxing match seven years later.
For many years he held a pro record of 1-1.

However, in June 2021 he returned to the sport after 16 years for a sanctioned pro contest against ill-disciplined former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
Chavez Jr is the son of Mexican boxing legend Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.
Remarkably, Silva beat Chavez Jr by split decision in Mexico.
He then went on to KO fellow aging MMA legend Tito Ortiz in another pro boxing bout in September 2021.
Silva will no doubt be Jake's toughest test to date
These two wins led to fans calling for him to be Jake's next opponent.
If the rumours are true, then it appears Jake has well and truly answered the call.
