Jake Paul has found his next opponent in one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all-time and UFC legend Anderson Silva.
The Brazilian who holds the record for most consecutive wins in the UFC has himself transitioned to boxing, picking up wins over Tito Ortiz and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr - who once went 12 rounds with Canelo Alvarez.
This comes while Paul's feud with British YouTuber turned boxer KSI continues, after the latter defeated two opponents in one night at the O2 Arena.

Paul, though, is coming off the back of consecutive wins over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, defeating him the second time with a knockout of the year blow at Madison Square Garden.
Paul had been scheduled to fight Hasim Rahman Jr, however the fight was pulled when the son of the legendary boxer was not able to make weight.
SkyBet have already released odds on the fight, making Silva the favourite at 8/11, with Paul coming in at 11/10.
Paul also has a long-standing rivalry with Tommy Fury but neither of the planned fights against the Manchester boxer have materialised.
