Anderson Silva Knocks Out Tyron Woodley in Second Round on Jake Paul Card

Anderson Silva defeated Tyron Woodley by technical knockout in the second round Friday night in Miami, closing out Jake Paul’s boxing card at the Kaseya Center.

Silva, 50, landed an uppercut and a burst of right hands that sent Woodley to the canvas. Woodley rose after an eight-count and attempted to regain his footing, but Silva pressed the tempo and the referee stopped the bout, awarding Silva his fourth victory by knockout in a boxing career that now stands 4-2. Woodley, a former UFC champion, fell to 0-3 as a professional boxer, with two prior losses to Jake Paul.

The bout was part of a card headlined by Jake Paul’s bout against Anthony Joshua, on a show at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. Paul, a YouTuber-turned-boxer, has built a schedule of high-profile tests on his cards. In his boxing journey, he has one blemish on his record, a loss to Tommy Paul, and previously defeated Mike Tyson in a spectacle last year.

Following the win, Silva called out Chris Weidman for a potential future matchup, saying he’d be open to a fight with the former champion. For Silva and Woodley, the result left the younger, less experienced Woodley still seeking his first pro boxing win, while Silva continued to show that his reflexes and timing could translate into the boxing ring despite age. It remains unclear what’s next for either man, though the win added another notable win to Silva’s post-UFC career.

The event underscored the crossover appeal of celebrity and former champions stepping into the boxing ring, a trend that has continued to draw attention as matchups between social media personalities and seasoned athletes draw sizable audiences. The night’s pageantry highlighted how a veteran MMA fighter can leverage technique, timing and experience even as the sport evolves around promotion-driven cards.
