      But Paul has reacted fast by scheduling his comeback fight just two months later, which is widely reported to be against Silva.
      YouTube reporter Keemstar was first to break the news, with TMZ Sports since following up.
      Further reports add the fight will be on October 29, headlining on ShowTime pay-per-view Stateside.
      Silva, 48, was released by the UFC in 2020 following five losses in six bouts, three of which on the spin.

      But he has made a successful transition to boxing, having already had a 1-1 record in the ring.
      Silva beat former middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 36, in June 2021 then knocked out ex-UFC champ Tito Ortiz, 47, in September.
      He will become Paul’s first opponent with a recognised boxing record.
      The American was twice set to fight Tommy Fury, 23, until the Brit pulled out after suffering an injured rib and then over US visa issues.

      Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, had signed to replace Fury but a weight disagreement with Paul, 25, saw their bout cancelled.
      Paul last fought in December, knocking out Fury’s substitute Tyron Woodley, 40, who he had already beat on points four months earlier.
      That added to KOs over online rival “AnEsonGib”, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 38.
      Silva was mentioned as a replacement for Fury in August but the idea was publicly slammed by Paul’s coach BJ Flores.
      Flores responded to a fan who said the Brazilian made sense as an opponent, and said: “Does he? 48 year old MMA fighter.”
      Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions banner teased the upcoming fight announcement and labelled him the bookies outsider.
      MVP posted: “@jakepaul will almost certainly be the underdog. He knows that and he wants that.”

      Who is Deji?
      Deji Olatunji, 25, is best known by his YouTube handle Comedy Shorts Gamer, before winning the first boxing match of his career.
      He joined YouTube in December 2011 uploading gameplay videos but has since expanded into challenges and various prank vlogs. His channel has amassed more than 10.6 million subscribers.
      Deji has also co-starred with his brother KSI, whose legal name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, as Freddie in the 2016 comedy Laid in America.
      Deji released his own clothing line, Tank, in late 2014 – the website is currently under maintenance.
      The apparel company is based out of San Francisco, California, and according to the main website page, its “mission [is] to spread love and kindness to as many people, around the world as possible.”
      The site continues: “The best part is that we’re using clothing to do it while giving back along the way. Apparel is literally everywhere, all the time, and we believe love and kindness should be too.
      “Nobody deserves to feel alone in this world … If you believe in love and kindness as much as we believe in you, then together we will change the world!”
      When did he fight Jake Paul?
      Deji squared off in his first-ever amateur boxing fight against fellow YouTuber, Jake Paul, on August 25, 2022, at the Manchester Arena.

      He ultimately lost the match but told Paul he would be open to fighting again in the future.
      Two days later Deji went up against YouTuber Fousey, earning his first boxing victory since he started competing in 2018.
      Deji responded to the win on Twitter, writing: “I have the best team ever. Daley’s the best boxing coach ever. I have Leon, the best PT in the game. And I have everyone out there showing their love, and that brought me up.”
      He continued: “I want to say thank you to everyone in here, and the millions watching at home as well. Thank you.”
      Fousey responded to the posting, writing: “Congratulations Deji, you’ll hear it from me first, congratulations. You deserved this one.”
      In reaction to Deji’s first win, Paul tweeted: “DEJI IS AN UNDEFEATED PROFESSIONAL BOXER.”
      He is the younger brother of KSICredit: Instagram
      Who is Deji’s brother, KSI?
      Deji’s older brother, Olajide William Olatunji, better known by KSI, is the UK’s biggest YouTuber with over 19 million subscribers.
      He first uploaded videos in 2009, posting recordings of himself playing video games, usually FIFA, before uploading them on YouTube.
      His following skyrocketed, reaching over four billion views, and bringing in revenue from YouTube partnership programs.
      He told The Telegraph in a 2014 interview that he wasn’t concerned with the money he receives, saying he has “an agent for that,” adding: “I’m not business-minded.”
      “Fifa is my baby,” he continued. “I have to pinch myself sometimes… I am living a lifestyle most guys my age would love to lead, playing computer games and earning good money.”
      KSI earned an NME Award for Vlogger of the Year in 2016 and has released two EPs as a rapper, with both topping the UK R&B Albums Chart.
      He went on to begin his amateur boxing career in 2018 with a third-round technical knockout victory over fellow YouTube star Joe Weller. More

      The cruiserweight remarked: “I’m a keep it honest, I got Jake. KSI is strong as hell, he has a hell of a right hand.
      “So does Jake, but I think Jake has better boxing because he’s been in it longer and has taken it more seriously.
      “I’d go with Jake Paul to beat him by knockout, unless KSI shows some better skills I think that Jake has just surpassed him right now.
      “I’ve seen Jake take a punch where I’m like ‘oh that would have knocked KSI out’ because I have hurt KSI with a punch. I don’t that KSI has a chin like that.
      “Jake’s got heart, KSI has heart too and I’m not taking anything anyway from him. Both of them have come into the sport and been on a stage bigger than a lot of us [professionals].” More
