The “Problem Child” took down an MMA legend on Saturday. International superstar Jake “The Problem Child” Paul dropped and decisioned former UFC star Anderson “The Spider” Silva in a bruising, brilliant eight-round unanimous decision on Saturday, October 29 in a Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) event live on SHOWTIME PPV from Desert Diamond Arena (formerly Gila River) in Glendale, Ariz.,
What a mess. What a farce. As fight fans have no doubt heard by now, next Saturday’s heavily hyped fight between Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr is off.
Jake Paul is throwing his money about again; or the fighter/promoter is offering up a big sum of dough. Speaking on the DAZN Boxing Show, Paul challenged Katie Taylor to box a return fight with his fighter Amanda Serrano, down at 126 pounds.
Whoever said pay-per-view was on its way out? The mere fact that the August 6 fight between Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr is going out as a PPV offering can be looked at as a (bad) sign that PPV fight cards will not be going anywhere anytime soon.
Jake Paul is getting a good deal of respect for agreeing to face a legit fighter in Hasim Rahman Junior in his next fight, the fight set as you know for August 6, a pay-per-view offering (the fight to take place inside the hallowed confines of Madison Square Garden, no less).
Due to his troubles getting into America, Tommy Fury will not be fighting Jake Paul. This is the second time the fight between the two trash-talkers has fallen through; the first time the fight failed to happen due to illness on the part of Fury, and now Fury simply cannot get into the country.
On August 6, Madison Square Garden will be filled with a mixed bag of YouTubers, TikTokers, boxing fans, and boxing casuals as Jake “The Problem Child” Paul will finally face his arch-rival Tommy “TNT” Fury.
Talk about backing your man. Or your woman. Promoters Eddie Hearn and Jake Paul, who have together brought us Saturday’s female super fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, have shaken hands in betting on the outcome of the fight in New York.
The early non-televised fights were unspectacular. Junior middleweight Javonny Estella (6-0, 3 KOs) did little to shine in his decision win over journeyman Chris Rollins (5-3-1, 4KOs).
Undefeated cruiserweight prospect Jake Paul (5-0, 4 KOs) bailed himself out with his one-punch power in knocking out former MMA star Tyron Woodley (0-2) in the sixth round on Saturday night at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
