My subsequent opponent might be a professional boxer and naturally he may have a profitable report similar to Timmy and Ramen did earlier than they pulled out. October.

Apart from being probably the most embellished Middleweight in UFC historical past by a rustic mile, Silva is 3-1 as knowledgeable boxer. In 2021, he shocked the boxing world by cleanly taking the choice win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (HIGHLIGHTS), then didn’t shock anybody when he battered Tito Ortiz for a first-round finish.
Paul, in the meantime, stays undefeated (5-0) as knowledgeable boxer. His best accomplishment stays a pair of victories over ex-UFC Welterweight champ Tyron Woodley, although Paul additionally stopped a former Bellator strap-hanger in Ben Askren. Previous to this match up, Paul was linked to battle Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr., however neither match come to fruition.
It stays to be seen if this bout can stay in place for one more two months.
