Logan Paul responds to possibility of fighting Anderson Silva in boxing event YouTube: Logan Paul\/Flickr: Tiago HamillLogan Paul responded to UFC legend Anderson Silva saying it his goal to fight one of the Paul brothers in the future, adding further fuel to the fire about the two potentially squaring off. The Paul brothers have been at the forefront of YouTuber boxing for quite some time, helping elevate it from novelty events to must-see pay-per-view spectacles. After fighting other YouTubers, Logan and Jake have gotten in the ring with actual athletes \u2013 with Logan taking Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather the distance in their highly-anticipated exhibition bout. With that fight firmly in the rearview mirror, and Jake scheduled to fight former UFC champion Tyron Woodley next, a number of people have called out Logan for a fight. Anderson Silva didn\u2019t quite lay down the gauntlet to Logan with a huge callout, but instead, spoke glowingly about the possibility of fighting Logan at some point, admitting it was his goal to do so. \u201cI respect both, and I respect the sport. I think everything\u2019s possible. I think it\u2019s the next fight may be with Logan Paul, maybe,\u201d the UFC legend told MMAJunkie on June 20. Of course, word got round to Logan and he quickly responded. \u201cCrazy how growing up, my goal was to be like Anderson Silva,\u201d he posted in the comments of BreadBatch\u2019s Instagram post, with the classic eyes emoji attached.

We\u2019ll have to wait and see if it actually happens, though. There have been plenty of rumors around who Logan will face next, but nobody has been confirmed just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
