Jake Paul-Anderson Silva Fights In Jeopardy? The Arizona Boxing Commission is reviewing a claim that Silva was disqualified twice from training
By: Sean Crose
An interview given by former MMA great Anderson Silva has the Arizona Boxing Commission immediately set to find out whether the 47-year-old should face Jake Paul on Saturday night in Glendale. . Although Silva has said he was joking, the UFC legend confirmed in an interview that he was knocked down twice during practice. Boxers say a lot of things while promoting a fight, and this is a fight that pretty much everyone feels Jake Paul could lose, as Silva not only has a boxing background, but is actually a professional boxer. career many years ago.
However, it is the duty of the Commission to consider such matters and so MMAFighting reported an emergency meeting was called on Thursday night. If the Paul-Silva fight is lost or postponed, it will be the third time in a few months Paul has lost to an opponent. Last summer, both Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr faced Paul at Madison Square Garden. Fury had problems arriving in the US (something some felt he wasn’t trying too hard to deal with) and Rahman Jr ended up claiming he couldn’t put on weight. However, Silva, a lifelong professional, is a completely different story, as he clearly wants to fight on Saturday.
