"Most Valuable Promotions has revealed the undercard for Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua on Dec. 19 at Kaseya Center in Miami, which will air live on Netflix. The undercard form Paul's previously scheduled fight with Gervonta Davis remains largely intact, with Alycia Baumgardner's unified super featherweight title defense against Leila Beaudoin staying as the co-main event. However, Anderson Silva will no longer face former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman in the main card opener."
"Both Silva and Woodley have lost to Paul in the past. Silva dropped a narrow unanimous decision to Paul in 2022 while Woodley lost both of his fights to "The Problem Child," a split decision in Aug. 2021 and a brutal knockout loss in the rematch in Dec. 2021. "I believe that change always happens for a reason," said Silva in a statement. "I am focused on doing a good job. Always respecting my opponent and showing total respect to the boxing world.""
