Jack Paul faces his toughest boxing test yet as he faces former UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva this weekend.
YouTube star Paul is unbeaten at 5-0 since he began his professional boxing adventure, knocking out every fighting competitor. In his last fight, the American stopped another former UFC champion at Tyron Woodley.
That result last December saw the 25-year-old Paul win by one margin over his decision to beat his compatriot last August, while Silva scored 3-1 in professional boxing.
The 47-year-old takes on Silva, despite being seen by many as the greatest UFC fighter ever and has a boxing victory against former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr – further cementing the fighter’s “spider” pedigree.
Here’s everything you need to know.

The Paul and Silva game will take place on Saturday, October 29, at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
