Gabriel Silva on his final goal

In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Gabriel Silva shed some light on his future plans as a fighter.

“That’s my final goal, to be world champion [in boxing],” Silva said, as quoted by mmafighting.com. “I’ve trained with world champions before, I’ve tested myself against world champions, and I know I have what it takes to be a world champion one day.

That’s the final goal, to fight for world titles in this sport and bring our name to the sport of boxing and not only in MMA, to kind of expand it to other horizons”.

Gabriel Silva on the influence Anderson Silva had on him

“Growing up with my father and my family, I’ve always had this martial arts mindset and knew a bit of everything, I’ve fought kickboxing and Muay Thai, I plan on competing in jiu-jitsu at some point, and maybe fight MMA as well, but not like starting a career.

Just for the experience, really. I’ve trained MMA and followed many of my father’s camps, and legends like [Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira] ‘Minotauro’. I think it would be kind of stupid not to be part of this world as well. I think it’s really interesting, but my focus is on boxing”.
