Anderson Silva is praised by Herbert Conceição after boxing training

Anderson Silva followed this week with its preparation for the dispute this Saturday, 14, in front of Bruno Caveira, by Global Titans Fighting 3, in the exhibition match that will take place on the helipad of the Hotel Burj Al Arab, in Dubai. However, Spider did not have an ordinary coach to guide him, but simply the Olympic medalist in Tokyo in 2021, Herbert Conceição.

Having the same trainer of the noble art, the renowned Luiz Dórea, Hebert Conceição and Anderson Silva had already contacted each other via cell phone, but they only met in person at the end of April, in Dubai. The Bahian is training to make his debut in professional boxing, with no date set yet, and he took the opportunity to help Spider improve.

“Anderson comes from muay thai, he fought MMA his whole life, but everyone knows that he is different even in boxing. He has a very high level, natural ability, is loose, skilled with his legs and arms. Anderson is of a high level, it’s no wonder he faced boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Junior, a former champion, and won,” said Hebert in an interview with “Combate” citing Spider’s triumph in June 2021.

“The expectation is the best possible, he is prepared, confident. He will face a tough, experienced athlete, but Anderson’s level is above. He is ready to put on another show”, pointed out the Olympic medalist, who, on the one hand, was able to share his tips, on the other, he also absorbed the knowledge of one of the great names in the world of MMA.

“Although I’m younger, I was able to help him by exchanging ideas, sharing views on boxing, specifically, since he was an MMA athlete. In practice, we trained together, we had a great structure to work with. Anderson is very good at boxing. , I helped a lot in the preparation. He gave me his experiences, situations he has already lived, taught me how to deal with them and advised me to avoid some others. He passed on the baggage of someone who has experienced everything in this environment, there were ups and downs. It was gratifying to learn from him, I really enjoyed it”, said.

Now much more than prepared, Anderson Silva’s fight against Bruno Caveira in the under-88kg category, scheduled for eight three-minute rounds, will be the penultimate fight of the third edition of Global Titans Fighting 3. In the main confrontation the focus will be on Floyd Mayweather , who will face Dan Moore, in weight yet to be announced.
