Jake Paul reveals the crucial advice Israel Adesanya has given him for upcoming Anderson Silva fight
Jake Paul has revealed the advice he received from Israel Adesanya for his fight against Anderson Silva this weekend. The bout, which takes place on October 29 in Glendale, Arizona, is the toughest of Paul's boxing career till date.
Many feel that 'The Spider' is the first opponent to present a real danger to 'The Problem Child'. The Brazilian's striking skills are legendary, and Silva has produced many a highlight-reel moment in his MMA career. Furthermore, he is fresh off a knockout win over Tito Ortiz in his most recent professional fight, and some feel that a similar fate awaits Paul.
While recently being interviewed by 'The Schmo', 'The Problem Child' disclosed the advice he received from UFC superstar Israel Adesanya on how to overcome 'The Spider':
"[Adesanya] said, 'Don't get wrapped up in the spider web.' I'm not gonna get wrapped up in the spider web. Guess what I'm gonna do Schmo? Guess what I'm gonna do? I'm not gonna get wrapped up because I'm a broom. And guess what brooms do? They take out the spider webs."

Jake Paul on whether a win over Anderson Silva gives his career the credibility it is lacking
Jake Paul is preparing to fight Anderson Silva in a boxing match on October 29.
Both men are carrying momentum into the fight. Paul knocked out Tyron Woodley and Silva knocked out Tito Ortiz in their most recent professional bouts. However, many feel that 'The Problem Child' has bitten off more than he can chew against 'The Spider'.
The fight is being billed as the 'first real test' of Paul's career. When analyzing his record, it is clear to see why. So far, 'The Problem Child' has faced a YouTuber, a former NBA player and two MMA fighters with backgrounds in wrestling.
People often use this as a stick to beat Paul with, claiming that he is overrated.
Jake Paul spoke to Sky Sports Boxing a few days ago and discussed if a win over Silva would give his career greater credibility. He stated:
"For sure, people would have to put some respect on my name. But I'm doing this for me, and I've always believed in my vision this whole time. And I know what I'm capable of. So people are really just going to be catching up to my skill level and reality is going to hit them in the face."
