HOW TO WATCH – Matthew Tinker against former UFC fighter Silva
A former UFC competitor awaits Mattew Tinker [4(4)-0] as he returns to the ring tonight.
The active light heavyweight appears on another Boston Boxing Promotions show for his fifth fight.
The bout takes place at the Castleton Banquet and Conference Center in Windham, New Hampshire as part of the third-annual Thanksgiving Eve Boxing Spectacular.
The Wednesday night clash is the former St Francis amateurs third in a pandemic year, but represents his first real step up of any note.
Tinker, who turned over as recent as November of last year, has handled all four pro opponents with ease, stopping the first three within a round, before Jesus Javier Cintron took him into stanza two for the first time in his pro career on October 17.
Leandro Silva [2(2)-3-(0)] certainly has the ability to take Tinker rounds.
The Brazilian has three defeats on his record but has never been stopped and comes into the fight on the back of a knockout win.
The 35-year-old also has 30 plus MMA fights to his name and spent three years on the UFC roster boasting a 3-3 and one no contest record.
Originally from Scarborough, Yorkshire, United Kingdom, Tinker has fought out of Limerick and represented St Francis in the amateurs.
