Following on from her win over Cat Zingano, Cris Cyborg is on top of the world. She seems to have conquered just about everyone she can in mixed martial arts, with her focus now shifting to professional boxing.

After her win over Gabrielle Holloway last December, Cyborg now holds a 2-0 record in the sport. Despite being 38 years of age, she still seems to have her eyes set on a big run in boxing. Her most popular idea has been to have a showdown with Katie Taylor, one of the best female boxers of all time.

Alas, Taylor is pretty busy right now, leaving Cyborg to wait for another opponent. As it turns out, Alycia Baumgardner appears to be ready to answer the call.

Cyborg: “Gimme Katie Taylor. #FuryNgannou”

Alycia Baumgardner holds a 15-1 pro record in boxing with her one loss, to Christina Linardatou, being one that she avenged earlier this year. She holds the WBC, IBF, WBO, WBA, IBO & The Ring female super featherweight titles, and at the age of 29, she has the world at her feet.

As for Cyborg, she’s never been one to turn down a challenge. With that being said, you’d have to imagine the star power of Taylor is something she’d want to capitalize on at this stage in her career.

Either way, the veteran has plenty of options ahead of her in the boxing world.
