Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman: The Rematch in the Boxing Ring
The MMA legend, Anderson Silva, returns to boxing to face one of his biggest rivals, Chris Weidman. This highly anticipated fight will take place on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis on November 14th at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The boxing match, which will be broadcast live on Netflix as the initial fight of the main card, will be contested as a six-round heavyweight bout.The fight will give Silva the opportunity to avenge his MMA defeats against Weidman, although inside a boxing ring. Silva was knocked out by Weidman in July 2013, ending his historic 2,457-day reign as UFC middleweight champion. The rematch took place five months later, and Silva lost by TKO after suffering a terrible leg fracture. Silva, 50 years old, will seek to prove his worth in boxing, a sport in which he has had mixed results. Weidman, 41 years old, also has a notable history in MMA. The college wrestler will now try his luck in a boxing ring and seek to go 3-0 against one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time.Anderson and his team approached me immediately after the Jake Paul vs. ‘Tank’ Davis fight was announced and said they would like to be part of the event and would like to fight Chris Weidman.

Silva has a 3-2 record as a boxer, with a victory over former middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr. in 2021 and a loss to Jake Paul in his most recent outing in 2022. Weidman will make his professional boxing debut. The fight promises to be an event full of excitement and anticipation, with two sports legends looking to close an important chapter in their careers.I am undefeated in boxing and will remain so on Friday, November 14, live on Netflix. I am the ‘original spider killer’.
