As an action-packed boxing weekend approaches, fans will be able to select from a variety of fights which assume more significance in the light of recent results. Former lightweight champion VasiliyLomachenko defeated Jamaine Ortiz by unanimous decision after a year-long break, while the undefeated Jake Paul added to his streak of victories after beating Anderson Silva, who is a former UFC middleweight champion, by unanimous decision. What does this spell for the two winners?

The veteranLomachenko has slowed down, potentially due to his break from fights, and it remains to be seen if he can regain his former form. However, he remains a formidable opponent, who can beat the likes of Ortiz unanimously, and has demonstrated the ability to start his fights slow, but progress to a faster style, as seen in his fight against Teofimo Lopez Jr. He is now set to face Haney, and the bets currently favour Haney due to Lomachenko’s slow start against Ortiz.

Meanwhile, Jake Paul also had his first fight of 2022 after the cancellation of fights against Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr. However, he was able to defeat the 47-year-old veteran Silva, after making an eighth-round comeback.

He is set to next face Nate Diaz, who has expressed eagerness to take on the rising 25-year-old star. Furthermore, Paul’s matches are known to include high prize money, which is lucrative to all who fight him. He is also expected to increase viewership due to the fans he has garnered from both boxing and MMA.

With discipline, and a professional work ethic, Paul’s future could be similar to those of other amateur boxers who have risen through the ranks to fight in the World Championship, such as Canelo Alvarez, who started at 16. It remains to be seen how high Jake Paul’s journey takes him.
