Cris Cyborg never hid the fact that boxing was one of her desires and the Brazilian tried in different ways to make a fight in the noble art possible with different opponents
Cris Cyborg has never hidden that boxing was one of her desires and the Brazilian has tried in various ways to make a fight in the noble art possible with various opponents, including the American Claressa Shields, who has decided to make several declarations of critical tone and also a certain form, provocative,
Shields, who decided to switch to MMA and beat Kelsey DeSantis in Bellator’s joint event with the PFL last weekend, gave an interview to “The MMAHour” and revealed that she had a sparring session with the Bellator champion, in which he suggested he had success against his then potential opponent in training.
– When I fought Cyborg in 2018, I went easy on her. I let her and her doctor put together a video that seemed even, but in the first two rounds I “beaten” her. She doesn’t know how to box, okay? And we were supposed to do more sparring sessions, but after I beat her, she didn’t want any more,” Shields said.
The boxer said that his initial relationship with Cris Cyborg was a friendship, but that the relationship ended up souring for some reason that Shields said she didn’t know, but that it originated after an offer they both received to fight.
– I think it was because there was a guy who wanted to pay us money so Cris and I could fight. This guy was talking about something like Francis Ngannou’s fight with Tyson Fury. I said he had the perfect people, Cyborg, Amanda Nunes. I thought Cris was my friend, I texted saying ‘let’s make some money together?’. I thought it would work and she wrote back to me saying ‘Thanks for the message, I’ll get back to you right away,'” said the American boxer,
– Suddenly, since the money was good, she began to complain about the category, I had already told her that the fight would be at 69.8 kg (light middleweight). Why did she want me to drop to 66kg (welterweight)? And then she started saying she knocked me out, this and that,” Claressa Shields added.
