This Saturday, June 19, will undoubtedly be the most important night of boxing in this year 2021, due to the large number of fights that will be played throughout the world. And this day will be the return of the great Julio Cesar Chavez Jr to the ring, to inaugurate 2021 after closing 2020 with a victory and a defeat. His rival will be the Brazilian veteran, former UFC champion Anderson Silva.

The fight will be played this Saturday, June 19, 2021, at the Jalisco Stadium, in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico.

How do Chavez and Silva get to this fight?

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. comes into this fight with an air of confidence and victory that he doesn’t believe himself. While it is true that the Jr. is giving his last battles in professional boxing and his last fights disputed have been involved in different controversies. That is why this type of fight, in front of an ex-fighter who does not fight in this discipline professionally, gives him a huge advantage and a great income.

Chavez Jr. is coming off a 2020 loss to Mario Cazares but then bounced back with a victory over Jeyson Minda via TKO in the 4th round. When Chavez was asked if he wanted to fight against Silva, he assured that, although he had never seen him fight in the UFC, he recognized him as one of the great legends of the sport.

On the other hand, we have one of the most important fighters in the history of the UFC, Anderson Silva, who has in his record, a record never before seen in Mixed Martial Arts and that is that he held the world middleweight champion belt, in the UFC, from 2006 to 2013. Currently, Silva is retired from the UFC.

Silva comes into this fight with the worst streak in his professional career, and that is, he only managed to win 1 of his last 9 fights in the UFC. This will be his first presentation in world boxing and he will do it in front of a very good fighter, but one who has been in decline in recent times.
