Yoel Romero calls for boxing match against Anderson Silva
Combat sports veteran Yoel Romero has called for a showdown with Anderson Silva in the wake of their respective recent triumphs.
As we know, Yoel Romero is an absolute freak of nature. This is a man who has been competing in combat sports, in some form or another, for around 30 years. Through that time, he has put a real beating on numerous individuals, and has been able to be competitive against just about everyone he has fought. In more ways than one, he is an absolute specimen of a man.
Anderson Silva, meanwhile, is coming off the back of a knockout win over Tyron Woodley that went viral as part of the Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva card. Since then, people have been talking about what’s next for him, with some suggesting a trilogy fight with Chris Weidman – but not very many people have been mentioning Yoel Romero.
In a recent interview, Yoel Romero expressed a real interest in squaring off with Anderson Silva in what would be a really fascinating boxing match.
