Jake Paul defeats Anderson Silva to keep his boxing record undefeated!
On 29th, October Saturday, Jake Paul defeated legendary UFC champion Anderson Silva, on points at the Desert Diamond Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, in front of around 14,000 strong crowds.
The fight lasted for all 8 rounds, and Jake was awarded the win by a consistent decision, scoring 78–73 (twice) and 77–74. He sealed the victory in the final round by knocking down Anderson.
It marked the most remarkable win to date in the 25-year-old’s Youtuber-turned-boxer, even though Anderson, at 47, is in the twilight of his career and known for his UFC rather than boxing accomplishments.
Nevertheless, Jake moved to a 6-0 record and called out UFC fighter Nate Diaz and undisputed world super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez afterward for his next fights.
Before the fight, Jake had spoken to one of Silva’s fans about growing up after watching the Brazilian dominating his sport.
ESPN Stats said it was a point-to-point fight as Jake landed 83 punches, with Anderson landing just 4 less at 79.
Anderson later told the media, “I’m a superhero, but sometimes my half-human fails.”
