Anderson Silva got his pro boxing license

“Congratulations, Mr. Silva,” the Arizona commissioner said.

Anderson Silva replied, “I’m training hard every day. I’m keeping my mind busy and healthy. I’m so excited.”

Paul, 25, is a professional boxer with a perfect 5-0 record, including a knockout victory over Ben Askren and two victories over Tyron Woodley through decision and knockout. The last time the YouTuber fought was in December of 2021, when he knocked out Woodley in the sixth round.

Paul’s reputation as a boxer has been questioned due to his lack of fights against traditional boxers; this trend is likely to continue with Silva.
