Gabriel Silva, the son of Anderson Silva, a well-known UFC fighter, is preparing to compete against Anthony Taylor for the Misfits light heavyweight title at X Series 17 in Dublin, Ireland this Saturday. Silva, who has already won three boxing matches, aspires to emulate his father’s success and ultimately become a boxing world champion.
Having grown up watching his father’s triumphant career in the UFC, Silva possesses a solid background in various martial arts. Despite his familiarity with different fighting styles, he is currently intent on establishing himself in the realm of boxing. Silva has honed his skills under the guidance of esteemed boxing champions and is optimistic about his chances of clinching a world title someday.
Silva has engaged in sparring sessions with top-tier boxers such as Janibek Alimkhanuly and Slawa Spomer, benefiting from their expertise and enhancing his confidence in his quest for victory. Although he contemplated participating in an event in Brazil earlier this year, Silva’s primary focus is now on his forthcoming match against Taylor, whom he regards as a formidable adversary.
Looking ahead, Silva envisions a future where he and his father could appear together on a fight card, with a dream matchup featuring Anderson Silva against Roy Jones Jr. For the time being, Silva is firmly set on winning his first boxing title and is prepared to tackle any obstacles that Taylor may bring to the ring.
