Jake Paul maintained his undefeated boxing record Saturday night with a win over ex-MMA star Anderson Silva by unanimous decision in the main event at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Ariz.
Facing off in a 187-pound bout that produced a flurry of action down the stretch, Paul (6–0, 4 KOs) outscored Silva (3-2), 77-74, 78-73, 78-73, after the fighters went the distance over eight rounds.
The 25-year-old Paul, competing in his first fight since December, gained a decisive edge in the final round of the back-and-forth affair after he sent Silva, 47, to the canvas with a staggering right across the jaw.
