Two men that Jake Paul knows well will meet for the primary time on the Kaseya Center in Miami.
On Friday, Paul got here face-to-face with Anthony Joshua at the primary press conference ahead of their huge clash on December 19.
‘The Problem Child’ was originally set to face Gervonta Davis this month before the fight was cancelled, which led to the undercard also going through some changes.
It was announced shortly before the press conference that Anderson Silva will face Tyron Woodley in a clash of former UFC champions on the cardboard.
The person who is about to compete in his second bout on Netflix gave his thoughts on the matchup between his former opponents shortly after the fight was made official.

Jake Paul believes Tyron Woodley can beat Anderson Silva if he does one thing
Anderson Silva was originally set to fight Chris Weidman in a trilogy bout before Jake Paul’s next fight was completely rearranged.
An injury to Weidman left his former UFC rival without an opponent, but Tyron Woodley stepped as much as the plate to make his return to boxing.
Each men have previously been beaten by Paul in skilled bouts, with him recording back-to-back wins over Woodley in 2019 before handing Silva a loss in his next fight.
‘The Problem Child’ had this to say in regards to the matchup when he was asked about it following the press conference in Miami.
“It’s massive. I’m absolutely stoked for that fight, it’s an incredible matchup. I feel each men have the power to win and I’m excited to see who’s the higher considered one of those two but they’re each massive names and it just adds more firepower to this already stacked card.”
Paul was then asked to present his prediction for the fight, which led to him laying out a path to success for the one opponent that he has shared the ring with on two occasions.
“Man, it’s tough. I’d say if Tyron can utilize his jab, which was the important thing for me against Anderson, then I could see Tyron doing it but when Tyron doesn’t use his jab lots, then I feel Anderson will win.”
