It’s unclear what’s next for the two fighters. Silva is 50 years old and Woodley is 43. Silva called out Chris Weidman after his win.
This fight between Silva and Woodley took place on Paul’s card against Anthony Joshua at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. The YouTuber-turned-boxer put together one of the biggest tests of his career in taking on the former two-time heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist.
Paul only has one blemish on his boxing record – a loss against Tommy Paul. He’s coming off of a win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. He defeated Mike Tyson in a spectacle last year.
