Eddie Hearn Backs Jake Paul To Win

Promoter of the likes of Anthony Joshua, Callum Smith, Katie Taylor and recently even Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, Eddie Hearn, has given his prediction ahead of the Jake Paul (5-0, 4 KOs) against Anderson Silva (3-1, 2 KOs) fight.

The Matchroom Boxing CEO thinks that the freshness and youth of ‘The Problem Child’ could be the telling factor when the pair face-off on Saturday night in the Gila River Arena. When talking to Betfred’s Lightweight Boxing Show, Hearn had this to say about the fight this weekend:

“Silva is definitely his [Jake Paul] toughest challenge so far and if he wins he should get the appropriate credit.”

Silva, the longest reigning UFC champion in history, had a brilliant standout win on his boxing resumé, defeating former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr via decision just last year. The ‘Spider’ reigned the UFC middleweight division for over seven years, which included 16 consecutive victories. The 47-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best mixed martial artists to ever grace the planet.

Jake Paul’s hype train is still going full steam ahead. The YouTube star turned professional boxer is currently 5-0 in the professional ring, boasting four KO victories in these five fights. However, Paul has been criticized for not fighting real boxers and instead opting for washed up, former UFC greats. Silva perhaps falls into this category, but there is no denying that the Brazilian poses the biggest threat to the 25-year-old’s unbeaten record.

“Anderson Silva is 47-year-old now, but he is an MMA legend. He’s a decent striker as well and obviously has that victory over a very faded Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. I just expect Jake to be a bit too fresh for him.”

Hearn went on to add that despite not fighting any actual boxers yet, there are clear signs of improvement in Jake Paul:

“Watching Jake, he’s definitely improved as a fighter. You can see that. He’s in good shape and is a strong, young man. He’s probably not going to get as much credit as he deserves if he wins because the argument that he hasn’t beaten a boxer will remain.

“He is improving and is giving his time to the sport. Good luck to him”
