Claressa Shields approves of Cris Cyborg’s venture into the boxing world.
The multiple world boxing champion thinks Cyborg has what it takes to not only hold her own in the sweet science, but actually fight and beat world-class opposition.
Shields, who returns to the boxing ring against Savannah Marshall on Sept. 10, is high on the decorated MMA fighter. In fact, she hoped Cyborg’s Sept. 25 boxing debut came against an opponent at a higher level than Simone Silva.
