Cris Cyborg is making a return to the ring.
The highly decorated women’s MMA fighter is set to compete in her third professional boxing contest. Cyborg takes on Karen Fernandes in a four-round boxing bout scheduled to go down on March 3 in Medellin, Colombia. The fight will be contested at super middleweight (154 pounds).
The news of the matchup was announced by Cyborg’s team on Tuesday. The fight will stream on CrisCyborg.com.
The Brazilian continues in the boxing world alongside her career in MMA. She competed twice in 2024, one being a professional bout and the other an exhibition. She won both boxing fights by stoppage.
Cyborg is considered an all-time great in MMA, being a former UFC, Invicta FC, Strikeforce champion, and last Bellator women’s featherweight titleholder. She sports an MMA record of 28–2 with victories over many notable names such as Holly Holm, Gina Carano, Julia Budd, and others. MMA wise, Cyborg most recently defeated PFL champion Larissa Pacheco in a unanimous decision back in October.
