After claiming the featherweight crown in her promotional debut at Bellator 238 this past January, Cristiane Justino is flirting with the Sweet Science once again.
In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, “Cyborg” revealed that she is considering boxing for her next combat sports appearance. Justino has lost just twice in 25 professional mixed martial arts bouts.
“I’m training a lot of boxing, and I was thinking maybe I do my next fight with boxing,” she said. “We’re thinking about [it]… We’re not sure yet. I’m just doing my best.
It’s not the first time the Brazilian has explored options outside of the MMA realm: In 2017, she received a boxing license from the California State Athletic Commission with designs on competing in the junior middleweight division.
