Paul and Silva will meet in Arizona on October 29 with the YouTube star taking on the UFC legend in his sixth professional boxing fight.

I love my job, combat sports is part of me and when I have the opportunity to show my respect and how much I love fighting, I'm excited." I'm still going to knock him out, maybe respectfully, but I'm going to knock him out." As they met for their opening press conference, Paul said: ""The fun was over on day one; I signed up for the hardest sport in the world but this is what I'm built for.

Jake Paul says Dana White still owes him a million-dollar check for beating Ben Askren, but the Problem Child is once again proposing a friendly wager with ...

But I bet you won't, Dana, because you're a bitch." saying he's willing to put $5 MILLION on the line when he fights [Anderson Silva](https://www.tmz.com/people/anderson-silva/). "Let's put a mil, let's put two mil, let's put 5 mil on it. "Dana White did not think I'd take this fight," Jake said minutes ago. You still owe me a million dollars from when you bet against me on Ben Askren." [sick of talking about the guy](https://www.tmz.com/2022/09/09/dana-white-jake-paul-anderson-silva-fight/).

Jake Paul gave his prediction for his boxing match against Anderson Silva - and he doesn't think their fight will go all 8 rounds.

I don’t need you to get a spider tattoo. You need to get one.'” but ‘The Spider’ wasn’t too sure about his opponent’s take on the subject.

Anderson Silva and Jake Paul's pre-fight press conference was toned down a bit more than previous newsers and the UFC legend even took a picture with Jake ...

I think the kids are doing the same and people need to respect that because the kids are doing a hard job." "I think a lot of people talking about Jake, ‘Oh, he’s not a real fighter’ but when you go inside the ring, everything is real. "I’m so happy because I’m working hard (to) make something special in my life and for the new generation. God gave me one more chance for this and I’m so happy." That’s the problem for a lot of people. Silva even took a photo with Jake and Logan Paul on stage to recreate an image from when the brothers were younger.

This is what the fighters had to say at Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva kickoff press conference in Los Angeles, California.

“Boxing in my life is very special because I grew up watching a lot of boxing and training with Brazilian coaches. “First of all, my motivation is that I love it. I fought a lot in my entire life and I’m here again with the new generation. “The energy involved in this fight is so amazing. That’s the proof that everyone can do anything in their life if you believe in yourself and you have the passion and love. Because it opens the door for everyone to think about something new and I’m so excited and so happy to be here. And to be honest man I’m addicted to this, so no matter how hard I have to work (I do it). For me this is even surreal that I’m even sitting here, I need to take a moment to be like, ‘Is this real with all the cameras?’ I was sitting on a couch watching this guy as a kid and here we are. I truly feel I was put on earth and destined to box, and this will be my biggest stage yet and biggest test yet. We have the best coaches, the best nutrition, and we just work hard man, that’s been the key to my success and the key to my brother’s success is just nonstop work every single day, showing up and being present you know? But I respect this man, I’m still going to knock him out, but respectfully knock him out. Silva has also voiced his appreciation for Paul and what he’s been able to accomplish in boxing in such a short time.

Jake Paul has made a fresh bet offer to Dana White. Paul claims that the UFC chief owes him one million dollars from a wager they had on the Ben Askren ...

Speaking during a Dana White’s Contender Series presser, he said: “I f****** guarantee you this, you ain't going to see Jake Paul calling Anderson Silva out. He’s got a real fight on his hands there, regardless of how old Anderson is. [Jake Paul](/latest/jake-paul) has made a fresh bet offer to Dana White.

Silva is known to taunt his opponents but Paul insisted that he won't be phased if the UFC legend tries his old tricks when they fight next month.

I will fight my fight on my terms and I'm going to be in control for all eight rounds, until I get the knockout." "If I was to fight him, people would be like 'oh finally he's fighting a former world champion pro boxer' but guess what? "He's not going to know what to do. So if he's doing all this s*** [throwing up his arms] I'm not going to do that. Adesanya gave Silva some of his own medicine in the fight, encouraging him to throw strikes and insisting many of his shots were not having an effect on him. The YouTube star has taken note of his friend Adesanya's performance against Silva in their 2019 fight, in which Adesanya won by unanimous decision.

Once bitter rivals, it seems that former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has buried the hatchet with Chael Sonnen.

You never came to the barbeque. Sonnen famously stated that he wanted the Brazilian’s wife to make him a steak before their rematch. “Let me tell you something Chael, you never came to my house. The man who hosted the presser was a fighter very familiar to the former champion. Now, a decade later, it seems that Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen are on good terms. The bout will be broadcast on Showtime pay-per-view and will be the fourth time Silva has boxed since leaving the UFC in 2020.
