MMA and UFC legend Anderson Silva has hinted that he would love to face Floyd Mayweather in the ring in the near future.
Spider recently swapped star anise for boxing, and it’s safe to say he surprised everyone. He beat former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. before beating Tito Ortiz in the recent first round.
MMA and boxing fans are eager to see what Silva does next. The Brazilian was asked about his future in the ring, and he claimed the fight between him and Mayweather would be a big challenge.
Anderson Silva wants to fight Floyd Mayweather next
Speaking of MMA Hour with Ariel HelwaniSilva said: “When I finished the fight with Tito, I saw on my Twitter and on my Instagram, everyone was saying ‘you need to fight with [Floyd] Mayweather!
“I don’t know, it’s crazy! I don’t know if I can fight like Mayweather, but it’s a challenge for me, I don’t know, maybe it’s going to happen or not. I’ll do it well I’m just trying to do my best every day and I think it’s a good fight, me and Mayweather.
“Two big names, a different level. I have to try and prove why I’m fighting with Mayweather. I don’t know if that’s going to happen, but I’ve prepared myself for the challenge.”

Huge size difference!
Silva is well known in the UFC as a middleweight, most recently weighing 190 pounds against Tito Ortiz. He is also a whopping 6-foot-2, which makes him a lot taller than Mayweather.
The boxing icon was just 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed 155 pounds in his final fight with Logan Paul. It was a huge mismatch at the time, and if he succeeds Silva in the near future, the situation will be very similar.
These days, however, fights like this have become very common. We wouldn’t be surprised if that happens, but we can be sure that Silva will be a tougher fight for Mayweather than Paul did earlier this year.
