Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva live stream: how to watch the full fight online today, start time, PPV prices

YouTube star turned boxer Jake Paul looks set to have his toughest test in the ring tonight as he takes on arguably the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, Anderson Silva. Paul currently boasts an unblemished 5-0 record as a professional boxer, and has knocked out each opponent he has taken on so far. Could the UFC prove a bout too far or will the years weight heavy for the 47-year-old ex-champ? The evening's event is underway. Grab yourself a PPV for a Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva live stream from anywhere today.

We've got all the info on how to live stream Paul vs Silva no matter where you are. And if you happen to be travelling away from home, and can't access your usual domestic boxing broadcaster, you can always use a VPN to tune into Paul vs Silva from abroad and bypass any geo-restrictions.

Twenty-five-year-old Paul's most recent appearance in the ring came in December last year, in a 6th round kick-out rematch victory over ex-UFC champ Tyron Woodley – having already recorded a split decision points win against the American the previous August.

After proposed fights against Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr fell through, Paul is now lined up to take on a very different type of fighter in the form of legendary MMA star Silva.

The veteran Brazilian notched up a fearsome 16-fight win streak in the UFC as a middleweight, but the 47-year-old has turned his attention to boxing in recent years.

Since leaving the Octagon, Silva has chalked up two boxing wins, with a split-decision victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and a KO win over fellow UFC star Tito Ortiz.

How to watch a Paul vs Silva live stream using a VPN

If you're outside of your preferred broadcaster's boundaries, you can use a VPN to unblock any geo-restrictions and watch a Paul vs Silva live stream as if you were right at home. Here's our step-by-step guide on how to do just that.

• VPN - standing for virtual private network - offers security and anonymity as you browse online, using set protocols to encrypt your data and make it unreadable to outsiders.
• As a part of that, you can also switch your IP address, which identifies your location.
• Most VPNs offer a list of locations where its servers are based to join. Connecting to them switches your IP to appear as if you're browsing from that country/city. In turn, you can then access content locked to that country.
• When it comes to finding a VPN, you should make sure you find the best one that's suitable for your chosen device, with VPN providers offering compatibility for a ton of devices, as well as nifty free VPNs.
• Once you've made the decision for the most suitable VPN for your device and your means for using a VPN, sign-up and install it. 
• To live stream Paul vs Silva, all you need to do is select the right server from its list of available servers and connect. You'll then be able to hop over those geo-restrictions, with your broadcaster of choice opening its online gates to you.
• We also want to ensure your money is well spent, so we would recommend going for a VPN that offers a risk free trial. ExpressVPN is one of many providers that has a 30-day money back guarantee.
