Two of the greatest combat athletes of all time will be in action later today (Sat., May 21, 2022) live on pay-per-view (PPV) stream from Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, as boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. and former UFC champion Anderson Silva make their returns to the boxing ring.
Mayweather, 45, will meet former training partner Don Moore in an eight-round exhibition match in the main event. The last time we saw “Money” in action he was beating the brakes off of Logan Paul in another exhibition fight nearly one year ago. Mayweather isn’t the same fighter he was when he was fighting professionally, but the all-time great boxer is still a pleasure to watch and still puts fans in the stands. That said, it will be interesting to see how Mayweather performs against someone he used to train with.
Silva, 47, will be making his third appearance inside of the boxing ring since parting ways with UFC back in Oct. 2020. The legendary mixed martial arts (MMA) champion has looked impressive since his crossover into boxing, defeating the likes of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Tito Ortiz in the span of a year. Silva will be matched up against Bruno Machado in the co-main event and could lock down a massive fight with Jake Paul if he’s able to win again.
