Logan Paul might fight the legendary Anderson Silva next judging by the latest DM leak from grappling artist Dillon Danis
YouTube star Logan Paul has been making rapid strides in the field of boxing over the last couple of years. Starting out against fellow YouTuber KSI in an amateur boxing match, Paul has gone on to face the likes of the great Floyd Mayweather.
And now, it looks like he might be facing Anderson Silva next, probably a pro-boxing match.
The news was first leaked by McGregor’s jiu-jitsu coach Dillon Danis. The Bellator fighter posted a story of Viktor Doria (another BJJ fighter), asking him to fight a grappling match in the undercard of Logan Paul vs Anderson Silva on his DMs.
The date and venue according to Doria (in the DMs) are September 19, Dubai.
It is worth noting that, Danis had already leaked Jake Paul fighting Tyron Woodley even before the fight was made official.
Both Logan Paul and Anderson Silva have three fights to their name in boxing
Anderson Silva is coming off a split decision victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on the 19th of June, 2021. It was only his third professional boxing match.
Prior to that, he had fought once in 2005 and in 1998. Silva’s boxing record currently stands at 3 fights, 2 wins and 1 loss.
Logan Paul, on the other hand, is coming off an exhibition match against Floyd Mayweather. The match went the full eight rounds, and since it was an exhibition with no knockouts scored, the match had no result.
Prior to that he fought YouTuber KSI twice. Once in a professional boxing match, which he lost via. split decision and the other an amateur match, that ended in a draw.
