Ex-Champion and Former UFC Contender in Boxing: Silva vs. Sonnen

Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva will have a boxing match against former UFC title contender Chael Sonnen. The fight is set to take place on June 15 in Brazil.

«Oh, Anderson, hooray. It's me again. See you on June 15,» commented Chael Sonnen on this announcement on his Twitter page.

The fighters have faced each other twice before: in 2010, Silva secured a submission victory over the American at the end of the fight; in June 2012, he knocked out Sonnen in the second round.

This will be Silva's fifth boxing match. Previously, he defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and lost by decision to Jake Paul.
