The latest opponent in Jake Paul's foray into boxing has been confirmed with 'The Problem Child' set to face UFC legend Anderson Silva next month.
YouTuber-turned boxer Paul has not been seen since knocking out Woodley in December 2021 - the second fight between the pair - but he is now set for a return to the ring.
The American, who has seen fights against Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr cancelled, will be taking on one of the greatest UFC stars of all-time, Anderson 'The Spider' Silva.
The bout will be over eight rounds and at a catchweight of 187 pounds, with Paul 5/2 to continue the fine start to his career with a win by KO or TKO, while Silva is priced at 11/8 to win by the same method.
