At UFC Vegas 37 media day last week, a reporter brought up Dana White’s recent suggestion that Jake Paul should fight Anderson Silva. When asked whether he would like to see that fight inside the ring, Anthony Smith said:
Jake Paul has made four appearances inside a professional boxing ring. The four names on his undefeated record are YouTuber AnEsonGib, former NBA player Nate Robinson, former UFC welterweight Ben Askren and former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.
None of the fighters on Jake Paul’s record are either his size or known to be accomplished boxers. Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley built their mixed martial arts careers around a heavy wrestling base. Therefore, it has been widely noted that Jake Paul should fight at least a decent boxer to gain credibility in the sweet science.
