Silva started his professional fight career.TWENTY-FOURYears ago, Paul, a potential rival, was only five months old.
Most of the Brazilian's fights were in MMA. He has a 34-11 record in the octagon, including many high-profile UFC events.
Silva holds the record for holding the title for the longest time in UFC history. He held the title of middleweight between 2006 and 2013.
The veteran lost just one of the nine fights he had in the promotion. He then moved to boxing last year with a 2-1 record.
Silva lost his first bout in boxing in May 1998, but he won his second seven-years later. He also won his third in June against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
In September, he will be taking on Tito Ortiz (46 year old UFC veteran), which could open the door to a fight with Paul or his brother Logan.
Jake Paul has a remarkable 4-0 professional record since his debut last January, but has yet to fight any recognized boxer.
Logan Paul, 26 years old, lost his pro fight against YouTuber KSI on November 2019, but managed to draw Floyd Mayweather in June.
Silva said, "Everything's possible." Logan and Jake Paul are doing an amazing job on this entertaining new show.
"We'll see. All things are possible. Both are respected. [Jake] does a great job and works hard. We'll see if this is possible.
