It also reached a point where Jake challenged KSI to a fight. However, KSI was quick to turn down his offer.
Who is Jake Paul?
You're probably aware of Paul, the social media personality who first made it big on Vine before moving across to every platform in existence. He's moved into boxing in recent years after fighting on the undercard of brother Logan Paul's viral boxing match with UK YouTuber KSI. He showed a talent for boxing and has been fighting ever since.
Paul has also moved into promotion, co-promoting a huge fight between Ireland's Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, which was one of the biggest female boxing matches of all time.
Is this a fair fight Paul vs Silva?
Paul has been selective about his opponents to this point, which is smart. Every new fight is a step up in competition, but this one is unique for a few reasons.
Size is perhaps the most important. Every other Paul fight, until this point, has been against a dramatically undersize fighter. Paul has a fighting weight of 190 pounds, but in his last fight, faced off against Tyron Woodley, who in his prime in the UFC, competed at 170 pounds.
Silva was the UFC's middleweight champion with a fighting weight of 185 pounds. Not only that, he regularly stepped up in weight to fight in the UFC's light heavyweight division. Arguably his best ever performance -- a spectacular dismantling of former champ Forrest Griffin in 2009 -- took place in this weight class, at 205 pounds.
Unlike Woodley, Silva also has previous experience in boxing. Most recently, he's dedicated his focus to the sport, putting together some extremely impressive wins. Silva is also one of the most lethal strikers in MMA history.

But Silva is also 47 years old. That's pretty old. Ancient in terms of combat sports. To be clear, he's not a normal 47 year old, but age is still a massive, massive factor.
I guess we'll find out how much of a factor in October.
