Anderson Silva will throw down with Tyron Woodley in a featured boxing match on the upcoming Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua card, which will be streamed live on Netflix on December 19.
The former UFC welterweight champion recently discussed why defeating ‘The Spider’ is personal for him. The Chosen One’ told Ariel Helwani:
“This is a fight I needed to have that I didn’t know I needed to have. I never even thought about fighting Anderson [Silva] in my life. We grew up watching him. He’s a GOAT, and he was a weight class above me, but I was not even in the UFC when he was champion.
