One of the few fighters to ever win two Olympic gold medals in boxing, Claressa Shields, visited UFC star Cris Cyborg in Los Angeles over the weekend, and was impressed by her boxing skills.
The Brazilian veteran invited Shields over to her gym as she prepares to face Megan Anderson for the vacant UFC featherweight championship at UFC 214 on July 29, and “T-Rex”, now undefeated as a professional boxer with three wins, talked about her training on Cyborg’s social media.
"I looked at (Cyborg’s films) and I was like 'ok, I see a few things that I wanna tell her to work on,' and then, the best way to learn is from experience,” Shields said.
