The American is currently undefeated as a pro and holds a record of five wins. Additionally, four of his wins have come by way of knockout. Jake Paul holds wins over the likes of former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and former Bellator champion Ben Askren.

With unquestionable striking prowess, Silva is most certainly the toughest test of the young internet star's career.

The UFC middleweight legend's pro boxing resume is commendable, to say the least. With victories over former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz, the Brazilian's record stands at three wins against one loss.
