Anderson Silva to face Tyron Woodley on Joshua vs. Paul undercard

Anderson “The Spider” Silva is officially back. Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix announced that Silva will face fellow MMA great Tyron Woodley in a six-round cruiserweight bout on the main card of Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua, streaming live globally on Netflix on Friday, Dec. 19th from the Kaseya Center in Miami. The fight replaces Silva’s originally scheduled matchup with Chris Weidman, who withdrew due to injury. The weight l;imiot has been stipulated down to 195 pounds from the usual cruiserweight limit of 200. The matchup brings two of MMA’s most influential figures into the boxing ring — with Silva (3-2, 2 KOs in boxing and 34-11, 22 KOs in MMA) returning after high-profile wins over Julio César Chávez Jr. and Tito Ortiz, and Woodley (0-2 in boxing and 19-7-1, 7 KOs MMA) stepping in for his first fight since facing Jake Paul.
