Jake Paul says he could beat Floyd Mayweather Jr and Anderson Silva in the same night following their exhibition bouts in Abu Dhabi

Social media star turned professional boxer, Jake Paul, has enjoyed a successful fighting career so far, maintaining an unbeaten record and knocking out every opponent he has faced.

Now Paul wants to up the ante by taking on two opponents in one night and not just anyone, but two of the greatest fighters of all time.

On Saturday night, Floyd Mayweather Jr returned to the ring for an exhibition bout against his former sparring partner, Don Moore, in Abu Dhabi.

The undercard featured UFC legend, Anderson Silva, who took on fellow MMA fighter and compatriot, Bruno Machado.

Both Mayweather Jr and Silva were impressive, dominating their respective opponents, but they were not officially declared winners due to it being an exhibition.

One man, however, who was clearly not impressed was Jake Paul, as he tweeted out, "I would beat Floyd and Anderson in the same night."

Silva is a former UFC middleweight champion having held the title for 2,457 days and successfully defended the belt a record 10 times.

He has been on Paul's radar for a while now as a potential next opponent, with the YouTuber set to return to the ring on August 13th.

With that being said, there are rumours that Tommy Fury, the younger brother of Tyson Fury, will be the chosen opponent, but it seems likely that Paul and Silva will meet in the ring at some point in the future.

As for Mayweather Jr, his achievements are well known, winning 15 major recognised world titles from super featherweight all the way up to super welterweight and he retired unbeaten with a record of 50-0.

He fought Jake Paul's brother Logan last year and in the build-up 'Money' clashed with the younger Paul brother after he stole his hat, which instigated a brawl.

After that incident, Mayweather Jr offered Paul the opportunity to fight him, but said that it would have to be at his 'real fighting weight' of 154 lbs, which is unrealistic considering Paul is a cruiserweight.
