Boxing champ vs UFC champ? Dana White in talks with Claressa Shields about Amanda Nunes bout

Claressa Shields is undefeated in boxing, but the two division boxing champ apparently has her eyes set on a new challenge. After saying in October that she wants to make her MMA debut in 2020, Dana White has now revealed that he has spoken to Shields’ camp about the move.

Interestingly enough, they’re seemingly discussing for Shields to potentially go straight to a bout with possibly the greatest female MMA fighter of all time in Amanda Nunes. White says Shields will also be in attendance this weekend to watch the UFC double champ fight.

“Claressa Shields is coming,” White told BT Sport (HT: MMA Fighting).
