Boxer-turned-MMA fighter's message to female boxers: 'Take up martial arts'

Ana Julaton isn't a full-time boxer anymore. But it's not because she lost her love for the sweet science.

Julaton, who competes in MMA for ONE Championship, grew tired of the lack of opportunities in women's boxing and saw women headlining major MMA events going back to Strikeforce with Gina Carano and Cris Cyborg. Although there seems to be a shift happening in boxing now -- at least that's the company line -- Julaton will believe it when she sees it.

"When it finally happens, I think everyone will know," Julaton told MMA Fighting.
