Cris Cyborg calls for boxing match with Katie Taylor
Bellator MMA women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg has called for a boxing match against one of the best female boxers the sport has seen in Katie Taylor.
“Gimme Katie Taylor. #FuryNgannou,” Cyborg tweeted today during the crossover boxing match between former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and WBC champion Tyson Fury.

Taylor is a two-weight world champion and the current undisputed lightweight champion, having held the WBA title since 2017; the IBF title since 2018; and the WBC, WBO, and The Ring magazine titles since 2019, as well as having held the WBO junior-welterweight title in 2019.
Following her victory over Delfine Persoon in 2019, she became one of only eight boxers in history (female or male) to hold all four major world titles in boxing—WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO—simultaneously.
Cyborg is arguably the best female mixed martial artist to have ever competed, having earned major titles in the UFC, Bellator MMA, Strikeforce, and Invicta FC.
