Jake Paul gives Anderson Silva fight prediction as boxing match draws near DexertoJake Paul offered his prediction for his upcoming boxing match against UFC legend Anderson Silva\u2026 but \u2018The Spider\u2019 wasn\u2019t too sure about his opponent\u2019s take on the subject. YouTube star Jake Paul is shaking up the influencer-boxing world in a huge way, as he\u2019s set to take on MMA GOAT Anderson Silva in the ring come October 29. The two opponents met face to face for a press conference on September 12 in Los Angeles, where both parties revealed their mutual respect for each other \u2014 a major point for Jake Paul, who\u2019s admired the fighter since his childhood. However, he\u2019s still going to touch gloves with \u2018The Spider\u2019 in a month\u2019s time and is confident in his abilities as a boxer\u2026 so much so that he believes the bout won\u2019t go past the fifth round, one way or another. \u201cIt won\u2019t go more than five [rounds],\u201d Paul answered, but then turned the question over to Silva: \u201cBro, I wanna know your prediction for the fight.\u201d \u201cOf course!\u201d an excited Silva replied \u2014 but his response was interrupted by a sudden photo-op with Logan Paul, who wanted to recreate the photo he and Jake took with Silva when they were just kids. Throughout the conference, Silva made it clear that he is \u201cexcited\u201d to take on Jake Paul, who he views as part of the \u201cnew generation\u201d of boxers. Anderson Silva declines tattoo bet with Jake Paul That\u2019s not all; Paul also entertained the idea of a bet with Silva, offering to get a spider tattooed on himself if he lost \u2014 but Silva wasn\u2019t too interested in that idea. \u201cNo, no, no, stop,\u201d Silva laughed. \u201cLet me tell you something. I don\u2019t need you to get a spider tattoo. I know you\u2019re my fan. Don\u2019t worry. I\u2019m your fan too! I\u2019m a big fan. But I hate tattoos, bro. I hate them! I don\u2019t have them. My kids say, \u2018You need to get them dad! You need to get one.’\u201d Jake says he\u2019ll come up with another bet come the week of fight night. Here\u2019s hoping it\u2019ll be a more successful bet than his failed wager against Dana White.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
