Katie Taylor didn’t get chance to rest after her win over Amanda Serrano on Friday night. Cris Cyborg challenged her to a crossover fight and it’s not a bad idea.
Katie Taylor edged Amanda Serrano in their highly anticipated rematch on Friday night as the co-main event on the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul event in Arlington, Texas.
The event drew more than 60 million viewers, and one of them is current PFL SuperFights champion Cris Cyborg. After Taylor’s narrow win over Serrano, Cyborg took to social media to challenge the former to a boxing-vs-MMA match. Cyborg called it the female version of Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou.
Cyborg competed at 145 pounds but says she can cut weight to 140 pounds to make the fight happen. Cyborg knows she’ll need an injection of monetary fuel to get the fight done, so she tagged boxing power broker Turki Alalshikh.
Taylor didn’t respond to call out yet, but if she is willing to take Cyborg up on her offer, here’s why it’s not an unrealistic concept.
