Cris Cyborg won her boxing debut Sunday night in Curutiba, Brazil, but will it count on her record in BoxRec?
Cyborg won a clear eight round decision over Simone Silva at Fight Music Show 2, with the promotion advertising it as a professional bout. There were sanctioning issues for the fight though, with Silva still serving a 60-day medical suspension after getting knocked out in Texas last August.
According to a report from MMA Fighting, the OBBoxe commission refused to oversee the contest due to Silva’s suspension, and Associação Paranaense de Lutas was called to oversee that match only.
