Tribute to the Kings: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs Anderson Silva

Well it’s not a fight that anyone asked for, but it’s a fight that you’re going to get.

Tonight (June 19) at the Stadio Jalisco in Guadalajara, Mexico, former boxing middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (52-5-1-1 NC, 34 KOs) takes on former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva (1-1, 1 KO) in an eight-round professional boxing match. This is NOT an exhibition and this will count on the professional records for both men.

This PPV starts at 9 PM ET with Chavez Jr and Silva expected to enter the ring at around 11:30 PM ET/8:30 PM PT, but undercard action may sway the time earlier or later.
