Clobberin’ Time boxing podcast: Why Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva is good for the sport image

Jake Paul is back in action as he faces MMA legend Anderson Silva in a boxing bout on October 29. Several in the boxing world have already dismissed the fight, while others are just hoping Paul will finally go away. 

But is the Paul-Silva fight actually bad for boxing, or are people just overreacting? Speaking of boxing fans, how long must they wait for a bout between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford? Do they have patience to wait another year? Finally, is Tyson Fury sabotaging his own career by retiring and then unretiring to face Derek Chisora, a man he has beaten twice already? 

The Sporting News' Andreas Hale and Emmy-nominated producer and broadcaster Curran Bhatia break down all that and more on episode 11 of "Clobberin' Time." 

This week's episode features:

  • Sounding off on the positives of Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva
  • Previewing Vasiliy Lomachenko's return to the ring against Jamaine Ortiz
