Silva vs Sonnen is set

“The Silva x Sonnen boxing match won’t be Silva’s retirement fight, just his final fight in Brazil, per his team. It will take place in São Paulo in front of 600 invited guests. Black tie event. All put together by Spaten Beer. 5, 2 minute rounds. 98 KG (216). Pro boxing. June 15.”

This certainly isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, especially given how well these two seem to be getting along these days. Either way, it should be a fun showcase.
