“(The confrontation against Anderson Silva) has all the ingredients to be an exciting fight. I predict I can knock him out after the third or four rounds. That's when I get into a rhythm and start to feel like I'm in the ring. I predict that after the fourth round, I will be able to knock him out. And if he lasts longer than that, it will be his fault. It's going to be a beating”, declared the former boxing champion in an interview with 'TMZ Sports'.

At 35 years old, Júnior experienced his peak in boxing between 2006 and 2015, when he won and defended the WBC (World Boxing Confederation) belt. Over his 17-year career, the athlete, who is the son of the legendary Julio César Chávez, competed in 59 fights. Thus, there are 52 wins and five losses.

One of the biggest names in the history of Ultimate, Anderson never hid his desire to venture into boxing. At his peak, the 'Spider' always made public his desire to exchange forces against Roy Jones Jr., an opponent of Mike Tyson in a superfight held in 2020.
