Miami, USA, October 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – The world of MMA is no stranger to growing phenomena. And Josh Silveira is certainly one of them. After notching his sixth straight LFA 115 victory over Tee Cummins to win the light-heavyweight championship, he remains undefeated and is on the fast track to stardom. But that’s not all. In the process, he also became the first LFA athlete to sport the Bitcoin logo in his final title fight.

It is the result of a sponsorship – paid in cryptocurrency – by the leading crypto marketing and public relations agency defiboost. The deal makes Silveira another pioneer in a sport that is constantly innovating. And his stellar record and huge potential could mean the MMA world is going to see a lot more of him and his Bitcoin kit in the near future.

Silveira’s road to the lightweight championship was also somewhat unique. Born and raised in South Florida, he is the son of Conan Silveira, one of the first MMAs. And her exposure to the sport from an early age through her father could have ended her career before she even started. In a recent interview with Combatpress.com, he spoke openly about his reluctance to join the ranks of MMA.

“I always knew I wanted to be a fighter, but when I was younger I saw how beaten these guys were,” young Silveira said of the experience. But it didn’t take long for him to gain the attention of his high school wrestling trainer in part because of his use of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu moves that he picked up from his father.

And from there he was on his way to the MMA Octagon that seems to have been predestined from the start. After starting his training at the now-defunct Power MMA & Fitness in Arizona, he moved to Arizona Combat Sports in search of better competition to prepare him for his professional debut at Titan FC 56. The match offered some insight into this. that was going to happen. , ending in a submission victory over Jashua Marsh.

The story continues

This game kicked off his still undefeated career as well as his transition to the American Top Team training center in Coconut Creek, Fla. It has the reputation of being one of the best MMA training centers in the country. And it was recognized as the Gym of the Year for 2016-2020 by the World MMA Awards. This decision came following an agreement with his father, co-founder of ATT and head coach of the establishment. And so far that has led to some great results, as his record can attest.

But his journey to the championship has not been smooth on the road. Silveira was initially scheduled to fight for the championship at LFA 110 against the much-vaunted Jesse Murray. But the fight was not to be. Murray ended up retiring with injury less than a week before the event took place, resulting in an indefinite postponement of the championship game. For her part, Silveira was publicly sympathetic, saying that “I wouldn’t want to fight if I got hurt either.”

The delay proved to be significant, however, with Silveira having to wait almost seven months to find out who his new opponent would be. It wasn’t until mid-August that LFA announced to Silveira and the world that he would face Tee Cummins for the lightweight championship at LFA 115. The announcement amounted to a competitive upgrade, because Cummins himself was also undefeated at 4-0-0 heading into the game.

It didn’t stop Silveira, however. He went on to win the title at the September 24 event, finishing a stellar run that took him to the top of his weight class. And with the added support of his father Conan Silveira and crypto sponsor defiboost, the future looks bright. This allows him to focus on his training and continue to improve on his already impressive start to his career.

As for the sequel, Silveira does not know, other than that he is looking forward to the competition. And as he prepares for all the challengers to come, he does so with renewed confidence, having secured the LFA Light Heavyweight bracelet and the first-of-its-kind crypto sponsorship to back him up.
