Now aged 47, the Brazilian-American is well past his prime, but that doesn&#8217;t make him a weak contender. <\/p>\n<p>As a professional boxer, Silva holds an impressive <em>3-1<\/em> record, scoring victories against <strong>Julio Cesar Chavez<\/strong> (won by split decision) and former UFC light heavyweight champ <strong>Tito Ortiz<\/strong> (won via knockout). Both fights took place in 2021. <\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the upcoming match, Paul is all praises for Silva, describing him as the &#8220;<em>greatest UFC striker of all time<\/em>&#8220;. Paul said the bout will also serve as proof to his critics that he isn&#8217;t selective about his opponents and that he isn&#8217;t afraid to face Silva, contrary to what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/mixed-martial-arts\">MMA<\/a> and boxing experts were saying.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">(2\/2) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mJ3oB42Fe9\">pic.twitter.com\/mJ3oB42Fe9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jake Paul (@jakepaul) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jakepaul\/status\/1567228612113309697?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 6, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/jake-paul-tells-media-fight-with-tommy-fury-on-aug-6-in-jeopardy\/\">Paul was supposed to fight Tommy Fury<\/a> at Madison Square Garden in August, but the match did not push through as Fury encountered travel difficulties. <strong>Hasim Rahman Jr.<\/strong> was later announced as Fury&#8217;s replacement, but the match was also cancelled as Rahman failed to meet the weight requirements. <\/p>\n<h2>Biggest Test For Jake Paul<\/h2>\n<p>Jake Paul currently <strong>holds an undefeated record, winning all of his five fights, three of which were against a former UFC fighter<\/strong>.
