Anderson Silva’s first fight since his UFC farewell is now set, and it’ll be in the boxing ring.
What’s that, the Roy Jones Jr fight is finally happening? Nope. But it’ll be on June 19th, live on pay-per-view, and it’s against another boxing legend.
Oh wait no, it’s that legend’s son.
Yes, it was made official on Tuesday that the former UFC middleweight champion will take on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (52-5-1, 34 KOs). The press release says this will take place (presumably with fans) at Jalisco Stadium in Guadalajara, Mexico, and it’s scheduled for 10 rounds at a catchweight of 180 lbs.
