Dmitriy Kel Dec. 16, 2025, 9 a.m.

Legendary Brazilian mixed martial arts veteran Anderson Silva shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight between former world heavyweight boxing champion Briton Anthony Joshua and American influencer-boxer Jake Paul.

"In the ring, everyone has a chance. I have a lot of respect for Jake because he proves to everyone that he is ready. He is a real fighter, but people talk a lot of bad things about him because he never did something... Now these people can't say anything because Jake is fighting a giant and amazing fighter, an amazing boxer. What can be said now?" Silva is quoted as saying by MMA Fighting.

Let us remind you that the Joshua - Paul fight will take place on Saturday night in Miami, USA.
