On April 8, according to the American boxing media BoxingScene, former UFC champion "Spider-Man" Anderson Silva has expressed the idea of urgently confronting the "god of boxing" Roy Jones, in the past few years, the two sides have had many contacts on cross-border battles, but because Silva has a contract with the UFC, he cannot participate in events outside the UFC, resulting in his and Jones' match regrettably stranded.
However, Silva's UFC career has come to an end this year, and he will play a match against former WBC middleweight champion Chavez Jr. on June 19, which should be a regular professional game, not an exhibition game without a record. Silva's MMA record was brilliant, with a record of 34 wins and 11 losses, but his professional boxing record and mouth cannon were only 1 win and 1 loss, he played a low-grade professional boxing match in 1998 and 2005, and because of the unsatisfactory results, he later concentrated on the development of octagon cage.
Since Silva is 45 years old, his form has declined significantly, and the battle with Weidman has also led to a broken leg bone, switching to high-yield professional boxing is indeed a wise choice. Silva and Roy Jones have been close friends for many years, and both are also titans of the "art genre" in their respective fields, but UFC boss Bai Dana's rules are too harsh, making this peak duel unable to be staged under the rules of professional boxing.
Compared to Silva, 52-year-old Roy Jones, despite his age, is more than enough to deal with a boxing junior player like Silva, who was recently working on a retired British boxer and sent a petition to Hoya, the "golden boy" who returned in July. It can be said that with the comeback of the veterans, the next professional boxing scene is full of points to see, and jones and Silva's post-peak dialogue can undoubtedly satisfy the appetite of boxing fans.
