Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva: The Latest Odds
Jake Paul finally steps back into the ring after two cancellations against Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr. He will face former UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva, on Saturday night. Silva is likely to prove Paul’s most difficult opponent yet. Join us as we preview the fight and share the bookmaker’s latest odds.
It’s been an incredibly frustrating month if you are a boxing fan. Firstly, the Battle of Britain blockbuster fight that the world wanted to see between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury failed to materialise despite much hype. Then the much-anticipated clash between Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn was cancelled just days before the event due to a failed drug test by Conor Benn.
Fans of Jake Paul have also endured months of frustration. First, his proposed fight with Tommy Fury – brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, was cancelled and then his replacement fight with Hasim Rahman Jr. fell through. So the YouTube sensation will be hoping it is third-time lucky on Saturday night when he will face former UFC middleweight champion and all-time MMA great Anderson Silva.
It’s fair to say that Jake Paul has his fair share of critics and that the ‘Jake Paul Circus’ is damaging the boxing brand. However, there are also plenty of supporters of the social media giant who believe he is reinvigorating the sport and is bringing a new audience. Love him or loathe him, you can’t deny he’s made an excellent start to his boxing career, winning all five fights he has fought. Although some may question the quality of the opponent he faced in his first three fights, YouTuber, AnEsonGib, Nate Robinson and Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley was expected to be a tough challenge which he managed to negotiate.
He now faces Anderson Silva , who will be well-known to UFC and MMA betting fans. Like Paul, Silva has switched to boxing recently and holds a 3-1 fighting record. Silva lost his first fight to Osmar Luiz Teixeira after being forced to retire in the first round but has bounced back with wins over Julio Cesar De Jesus, Julio César Chávez Jr., and Tito Ortiz. Silva likely has the stamina to make a decent fight of it, having gone the distance with Julio César Chávez Jr.
