Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua Undercard Stuns Fans With Two UFC Legends Included

The full undercard for Jake Paul's upcoming fight with former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has been revealed.

American influencer and boxer Paul will return to the boxing ring in just four weeks for a blockbuster bout with former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida

Paul was originally set to lightweight world champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis in the same venue on November 14, but the fight was called off as Davis' faces a legal battle with his ex-partner accusing him of battery, false imprisonment and kidnapping, among other charges.

With the new fight just a matter of weeks away, Paul and Joshua are set to hold a press conference inside the Kaseya Center at 6pm GMT on November 21.

But ahead of the pair meeting for the first time as opponents, the remainder of the fight card has been announced, and it features a bout between two former UFC legends.

Throughout Paul's boxing career, the YouTube star has fought several former MMA fighters in the ring, picking up victories over the likes of Ben Askren, Nate Diaz and Mike Perry.

And before his bout with Joshua gets underway, two of Paul's former opponents are set to meet each other in the ring as Anderson Silva will face Tyron Woodley on the undercard.

Silva, who lost to Paul via unanimous decision in Oct 2022, is widely regarded as one of the best UFC fighters of all time.

Meanwhile Woodley, who held the UFC welterweight title form July 2016 to March 2019, lost to Paul vis split decision in August 2021 before accepting a short-notice rematch four months later and losing via knockout in round six.

Reacting to the announcement, one fan wrote: "Glad to see Woodley back man that has been way too long!"

While another agreed, claiming: "Silva vs Woodley is gonna be fire."

But not all fans are excited for the fight, with one branding it as an 'unc off' and another writing: "Who cares? Woodley didn’t care about fighting when he gave Usman his belt 6 years ago."

Silva was originally scheduled to face former rival Chris Weidman on the undercard of Paul v Davis, but it appears that Weidman will not feature on the Paul v Joshua fight card.
