A fight with Hasim Rahman Jr. was also scheduled, but that too fell through due to a problem gaining weight on the heavyweight contender’s side.

Now 47-year-old Silva will compete, a huge step up for Paul, who defeated Tyron Woodley last December.

The day before the toughest test of his boxing career, Paul weighed in at 186.5 pounds, below the catch weight agreed with Silva.
