Chavez Jr vs Silva Preview

Chavez Jr. has gone 52-5-1 (34 knockouts) in his boxing career, but he lost two of his last three fights, including defeats at the hands of Daniel Jacobs and Mario Abel Cazares in 2019. He knocked Jeyson Minda out last November, however, so he enters this one on a one-fight winning streak.

Silva’s boxing record, though, is the polar opposite of Chavez’s. Silva had gone 1-1 as a professional boxer, losing his debut back in 1998 before knocking Julio Cesar De Jesus out seven years later in 2005.

The 46-year-old Silva, of course, is a former UFC Middleweight Champion, and he holds the record for the longest title reign in the history of the sport. He left the UFC in 2020, but he can’t seem to stay retired. Silva went 34-11-0 in his years in the octagon, but a boxing ring is an entirely different beast.

“Everything is possible,” Silva said heading into the fight. “Now I’m just trying to challenge myself. Maybe I fight on the same card my son is fighting kickboxing. Maybe fight jiu-jitsu—GI or no GI. Maybe muay thai. I’m very excited to go to Thailand, and train and fight in Thailand. I don’t know. Everything is possible.”

Despite the 11-year age difference, Silva thinks the fight will be a great opportunity to see if he’s still got it.

“I’m very blessed to be given this opportunity,” Silva added. “I wasn’t doing anything [when the event was announced]. I was on vacation with my family and people started saying that this was a good opportunity for me. I get to do something that I love and it will be a really good challenge. I feel like it’s good for me.”

For his part, Chavez says he’s ready to go eight rounds with a fighter of Silva’s ilk.

“I didn’t know too much about him, but these days it’s normal (to see) the UFC fighters come to boxing because they have better paydays and that’s interesting, you know,” Chavez Jr. said, as translated by MMA Junkie. “This particular fight with Anderson Silva is more competitive because it’s eight rounds, at 180 pounds [a weight class higher than Chavez Jr.], and Anderson Silva knows how to fight because he had done boxing in the past. It’s a good fight and I think the UFC fighters need to train more (boxing) like him.”

Per BoxRec, Silva has a five-inch reach advantage (78″ to 73″), and at 6-foot-2, he’s got a two-inch height advantage, but Chavez Jr.’s age and experience may be the determining factors here. Regardless, it should be an intriguing bout to watch.
