UFC legend Anderson Silva's son Kalyl looks like he's a chip off the old block ahead of his amateur kickboxing debut at the end of this summer. 

Kalyl will join older brother Gabriel on the bill for his high-stakes shootout with Anthony Reynaga at California's AIM Sportsplex.

IKF Southern California champion Gabriel faces Kris Johann Acevedo over five rounds for the FightersRep middleweight title in what will be the 24-year-old's third appearance as a professional. 

165-pounder Gabriel (2-0, 1 KO) beat American fighter Denis Kovalev in September 2019 when he made his debut at FightersRep 8 in Seal Beach.

Silva himself has shown off some slick boxing skills in recent months as he comfortably disposed of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr at Tribute to the Kings, and insists he is taking the sport very seriously. 

"I'm working hard and want to show respect for every single athlete in boxing," Silva previously told GIVEMESPORT. "I need to do my best because if I don't do my best I don't respect the sport and I don't respect the people who made this sport huge.

"Finally, I'm doing something for myself, I've been working for many, many years of my life, in sports, combat sports. I think I need to enjoy the moment, you know, because I'm so lucky.

"I'm 46 years old, man, and I'm lucky to continue doing my job and doing something special. Everything's perfect, everything's amazing, you know, I learn a lot."
