Cris Cyborg Brutally Knocks Opponent In Boxing, Calls Out Claressa Shields

Women’s MMA legend Cris Cyborg had another successful boxing match.

On Friday night, Cyborg made quick work of Kelsey Wickstrum and knocked her opponent in the first round with a brutal overhand right.

Cyborg has said that she is interested in a fight against female boxing champ Claressa Shields.

“I want to make the biggest fights for the fans, and one fight that will sell where we will all get paid is against Claressa,” said Cyborg. “I’ve learned the nuances of grappling, jiu-jitsu, and wrestling. It’s harder to do what Claressa is doing, having to learn what I already know, now that she is doing MMA. I think because I did all that, striking and boxing has come easier for me.”

Shields mocked Cyborg for calling her out.

Shields is currently set to fight on the upcoming PFL MMA card in Saudi Arabia on February 24th. While Cyborg is technically signed with the PFL after the Bellator sale, it’s unclear when she will make her debut with the promotion.
