Silva and Woodley to Clash on High-profile Boxing Card
Anderson Silva, a legendary mixed martial artist, will face former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in a compelling boxing match. This bout will take place on the undercard of a highly anticipated event headlined by Jake Paul versus joshua. The event is scheduled for December 19th and will be streamed live on Netflix, promising a global audience.
Silva’s transition to boxing has been marked by surprising success. He secured a split decision victory in August 2021, followed by a knockout loss in the subsequent rematch. Despite the setback, Silva remains focused and respectful of the sport.
“I believe that change always happens for a reason,” Silva stated.”I am focused on doing a good job, always respecting my opponent and showing total respect to the boxing world.”
The fight came about after Chris Weidman was forced to withdraw due to an injury. This opened the door for Woodley to step in and face Silva.
Woodley, who reigned as the UFC welterweight champion from 2016 to 2019, is eager to secure his first win in the boxing ring. He views this as an opportunity to establish himself against one of MMA’s most celebrated figures.
“Rising to occasions like this are the moments where legends are born,” Woodley confidently declared.
A Packed Undercard Awaits
Beyond the main and co-main events, the card boasts a strong lineup of championship fights. You can expect exciting action from:
* Cherneka “Sugar Neekz” Johnson: Defending her undisputed bantamweight title against Amanda Galle.
* Yokasta Valle: Putting her WBC strawweight title on the line against Yadira Bustillos.
* Avious Griffin vs. Justin Cardona: A welterweight contest promising a clash of styles.
* Keno Marley: The two-time Brazilian Olympian will make his professional debut in a four-round cruiserweight fight against Diarra Davis.
Notably, the previously scheduled WBA super lightweight title fight between Gary Antuanne Russell and Andy Hiraoka has been removed from the undercard.
A Landmark Event for Combat Sports
The addition of Silva versus Woodley elevates this event to a new level. Organizers believe it’s shaping up to be one of the most meaningful combat sports events in recent memory.
“Anderson Silva vs. Tyron Woodley is an iconic matchup, continuing to elevate this event into one of the most scintillating combat sports events of the decade,” explained Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of Most valuable Promotions. “This is the gladiatorial sport spectacle of the 21st century.”
