Could we see a crossover super-fight between two of the most decorated female champions from MMA and boxing?
According to Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix, negotiations are underway for a clash between top pound-for-pound boxer Katie Taylor and MMA champion Cris Cyborg. Not much details have been revealed, and there’s “no deal yet,” but the report states they’re targeting the super-fight to happen in December.
Taylor’s camp reportedly hopes to get the Cyborg bout done before setting up a lucrative rematch with Amanda Serrano in Ireland next spring.
Cyborg previously asked for this match up soon after Taylor beat Serrano, in what was the biggest and highest paying women’s boxing fight ever.
