'The Problem Child' closed the contest strong, knocking down Silva once in the eighth round. With the victory over the former UFC champion, Paul has extended his pro-Boxing record to 6-0.
He also holds knockout wins over big names in MMA like former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and former multi-promotional champion Ben Askren.
Another fact that legitimizes Paul's skill as a boxer is that his foe Silva holds a win over former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. With tonight's loss, Silva's pro-boxing currently stands at three wins against two losses.

Jake Paul calls out Nate Diaz and Canelo Alvarez
During the post-fight interview following his win against Anderson Silva, YouTuber-turned-professional-boxer Jake Paul called out former UFC star Nate Diaz and the current undisputed super middleweight boxing champion Canelo Alvarez:
"Anderson [Silva] is just the start baby. I want Nate Diaz, he is a b***h. He tried to come into my locker room, he tried to cause some sh*t and then he always leaves the f*****g arena. So Nate Diaz, stop being a b***h and fight me. And Canelo [Alvarez] you too. You too Canelo. You guys say - you [Paul] can't beat... a striker, you can't beat a legend like Anderson Silva, I just did it. So why can't I beat Canelo."
