Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is predicting a KO over Anderson Silva in the pair’s upcoming boxing match, saying that “I feel I can knock him out.” Chavez Jr. takes on Silva in an eight-round boxing match on June 19 at Estadio Jalisco in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. For Silva, it’s his return to the boxing ring for the first time since 2005 after he was released from the UFC following a knockout loss to Uriah Hall last fall. The UFC legend struggled in the last few years of his career in the Octagon and UFC president Dana White decided to give the 45-year-old Silva his release from the promotion. However, he is still adamant that he can fight and has made the move to the boxing ring.

It’s a very intriguing matchup as the Brazilian is known for his boxing but Chavez Jr. is a former boxing world champion, and to no surprise is the betting favorite.
