Silva vs. Woodley on Paul vs. Joshua card: Legends Fight!

Revealed Fight Card for Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua

Most Valuable Promotions has unveiled the fight card for the highly anticipated match between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua, scheduled for December 19th at the Kaseya Center in Miami. This event, which promises to be unforgettable, will be broadcast live via Netflix. The fight card, which was originally planned for the Paul vs. Gervonta Davis fight, maintains much of its original structure. Alycia Baumgardner will defend her unified super featherweight title against Leila Beaudoin in the co-main event. However, significant changes have occurred. Anderson Silva will not face Chris Weidman in the initial fight of the main card. Instead, also former UFC champion Tyron Woodley will step into the ring to face Silva in a six-round cruiserweight bout. Both Silva and Woodley have suffered defeats against Jake Paul in the past. Silva lost by unanimous decision to Paul in 2022. Woodley, for his part, lost both fights against “The Problem Child”, one by split decision in August 2021 and the other by knockout in December of the same year.

I believe that changes always happen for a reason. I am focused on doing a good job. Always respecting my opponent and showing total respect for the world of boxing.

Anderson Silva

Weidman was forced to withdraw from the fight against Silva due to an injury. Woodley, who was the UFC welterweight champion from 2016 to 2019, will seek his first boxing victory against one of the greatest champions in the history of mixed martial arts.

These moments are where legends are born.

Tyron Woodley

The preliminary card will include the defense of Cherneka “Sugar Neekz” Johnson’s undisputed bantamweight title against Amanda Galle, Yokasta Valle’s WBC strawweight title defense against Yadira Bustillos, and a welterweight bout between Avious Griffin and Justin Cardona. In addition, two-time Brazilian Olympian Keno Marley will make his professional debut in a four-round cruiserweight bout against Diarra Davis. The WBA super lightweight title fight between champion Gary Antuanne Russell and Andy Hiraoka is no longer part of the card.

Anderson Silva vs. Tyron Woodley is an iconic matchup, which continues to elevate Jake vs. Joshua: Judgment Day to one of the most exciting combat sports events of the decade. This is the gladiatorial sports spectacle of the 21st century. A main event that has involved the entire world. Bringing back two of the MMA GOATs to the spotlight on a global stage, live on Netflix, reflects the magnitude of this card.
