Jake Paul vows to knock out Anderson Silva

KARACHI: Jake Paul has vowed to knock out Anderson Silva once more in style, claiming that it will be the "knockout of the year" for boxing.

When Tyron Woodley was knocked out in the sixth round of their rematch in December following a lacklustre first encounter, the YouTuber-turned-boxer gave many fans what they considered to be the best stoppage of the year.

Paul and his team are renowned for their in-depth video research of opponents, and in a recently leaked training camp film from Showtime's All Access series, he can be seen repeatedly viewing Silva vs. Chavez Jr. As Paul runs on a treadmill, he talks about what they saw in the performance with coaches Danny Smith and BJ Flores.

"Knockout of the year incoming," Paul can be heard saying in part of the footage. "Yeah, I've seen this a bunch of times and every time I see it I just find more openings. He loves to get in that corner and dance - I'm not going to play that s***, it's my ring, it's my fight, I'm the A-Side for a reason - he's not going to come in there and do that s***, I'm not going to feed into it."

Paul has just completed his training camp with the Puerto Rican team and is on his way to Arizona for his hardest career test.
