The social-media-personality-turned-boxer will reportedly face
former UFC middleweight champion Anderson
Silva
in a boxing match on Oct. 29.
TMZ Sports
was first to report the booking, while
NoSmokeBoxing
initially brought word of the targeted date. The
bout would headlined a Showtime pay-per-view card. A location and
venue was not confirmed.

Most Valuable Promotions, which is Paul’s company, teased an
announcement over the weekend, claiming Paul would “almost
certainly be the underdog” in his next fight.

Paul, 25, has compiled a 5-0 mark as a professional boxer, with
notable wins over former UFC welterweight champion Tyron
Woodley
(twice) and ex-Bellator title holder Ben Askren.
Paul had proposed fights against Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr.
fall through earlier this month.

The 47-year-old Silva has enjoyed his share of success in the Sweet
Science since parting ways with the UFC in 2020. Most notably, he

defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. via split decision
in June
2021. He’s also recently bested fellow former UFC champ Tito Ortiz via
first-round stoppage and battled Bruno Azeredo to a draw in an
exhibition bout in Dubai this past May. “The Spider” owns an
official professional mark of 3-1 in boxing and is regarded by many
as the greatest MMA middleweight of all-time.
