It can be inferred from the fans’ reactions that they are excited about the match that is about to unfold. Most of the fans are praising Davis for his courage since he has fought only once in his life and lost that, too; Whereas Silva has some prior experience in kickboxing. However, there are some fans who have doubts about Davis as a fighter.

Gabriel Silva’s experience as a fighter

Gabriel Silva as a fighter has his own moments of glory and defeats. He has fought only once as a professional boxer that too against Angelo Thompson who was on his losing streak of 6-0. However, his record as an amateur fighter in kickboxing is as strong as metal. He fought five times in his amateur career and has won all of his fights excluding one.

Silva debuted as a Muay Thai fighter back in 2019, his first fight taking place against Nick Navarro whom he defeated in the second round through technical knockout. Since then he has fought multiple times as an amateur fighter. His fights as an amateur fighter include his fight against Dennis Kovalev which he won through a split decision, Christian Williams which he won through a barrage of punches, and his fight against Vincent Familiari which he ultimately lost by TKO.

While Silva’s path diverges from that of his legendary MMA parent; facing an opponent with nothing to lose, as Davis represents, promises to be a formidable challenge. Silva is set to test his mettle against Davis this September at X Series 009, an event slated for Newcastle, England. The headline bout will feature Idris Virgo squaring off against Aaron Chalmers, and fans worldwide can tune in to witness the action unfold via live streaming on DAZN.
