YOUTUBE star Jake Paul is returning to the ring for a mouth-watering clash against MMA legend Anderson Silva.
The Problem Child was due to fight rival Tommy Fury in August but plans fell through after an issue with the Brit’s US visa.
How the fighters compare for the big bout
Jake Paul will face Anderson Silva in his sixth professional bout
A bout with Hasim Rahman Jr was also set up, but that also fell through due to a problem making weight on the heavyweight fighter’s side.
Now 47-year-old Silva will step up to plate, in what is a massive step-up for Paul, who knocked out Tyron Woodley last December.
Silva has been in the boxing ring before, beating former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr last year, before knocking out UFC veteran Tito Ortiz a few months later.
And now the Brazilian will get one of the biggest paydays of his career to face Paul, who has yet to lose in the squared circle.
