Arguably one of the greatest mixed martial artists to walk the Earth, Cris Cyborg is looking to try her luck inside the boxing ring.

The Brazilian is currently signed with Bellator, where she is the Women’s Featherweight World Champion. In an interview with TMZ sports regarding her future in the fight sports, she said,

“I’m training a lot in boxing now. I was thinking about maybe I do my next fight in boxing.”

Even though she is the only fighter alive to hold titles in four major MMA promotions[Strikeforce, Invicta, UFC, Bellator] she wants to conquer more realms. It appears that her thirst for a challenge just cannot be quenched.

Moreover, Cyborg confirmed that Bellator’s head, Scott Coker does not have a problem with her doing a boxing match while under contract with Bellator.

Thus, she will be able to continue to box while confirming that her contract with Bellator remains unharmed. All thanks to the merger that led to the creation of ViacomCBS.

Both Bellator and Showtime now come under the same corporate umbrella. Hence, no one minds if an athlete who is essentially part of one of the promotions of a company decides to try her luck in another promotion.

Cris Cyborg to take on Cecilia Braekhus?

Carrying about her probable boxing venture, Cyborg said,

“Me and Cecilia Braekhus always talk back and forth. But, you know, I’m training. I think everyone is gonna be a very good match for me. It’s gonna be a great fight. I like to challenge myself, I never look for the easy way. I like to train hard and make the best fight for my career. For my fans.”

It seems like Cris already has an opponent in mind. But while her credibility in the world of MMA is unparalleled, Cecilia will be an extremely tough opponent.

“The First Lady” Braekhus holds an equal amount of sway in the boxing world. She has reigned over the Female Welterweight division ever since 2014. She is also the first and only female boxer to hold the WBO, WBC, IBF and WBA titles together.

Who do you think will win in a face-off between the two?
