Globo Footage Shows Popó’s Son Attacking Concussed Wanderlei Silva Post-Fight
Images from Globo TV’s broadcast have clarified the chaotic aftermath of Popó Freitas and Wanderlei Silva’s fight at Spaten Fight Night 2 in São Paulo on Sunday (28). Following the referee’s declaration of Popó Freitas as the winner, a ringside brawl erupted between both fighters’ teams. Rafael Freitas, one of Popó’s boxing champion sons, struck Wanderlei Silva during this melee. Earlier in the evening, Rafael appeared in the VIP area near his father’s ring entrance, holding a championship belt. After the fight concluded and the brawl began, Rafael, carrying the belt, hit Wanderlei from behind, rendering him unconscious. Wanderlei Silva remained unconscious for several minutes after the blow. Doctors in the ring immediately assisted him due to a deep, heavily bleeding cut on his face. Medics then transported him to a hospital in São Paulo’s South Zone, where medical staff sutured his wound and conducted tests before discharging him later that same day. In the wake of the incident, Rafael’s brother, Juan Freitas, initially posted a message on social media cheering on Rafael but promptly removed it after facing criticism.
