Cyborg made her professional boxing debut with an 8 round victory over South Brazil National Boxing Champion Simone Silva in September of 2022 to capture the FMS women’s professional belt in her hometown of Curitiba Brazil and followed up that boxing performance with a Co Main event victory over Gabrielle Holloway on an event headlined by Terence Crawford.

Speaking of her return to the sport of Boxing, Cris Cyborg had this to say:

Kelsey is two years younger than me, started her professional fighting career before me, and will be a good test for me inside the boxing ring. I am still learning the sport of Boxing. I am not looking to take any shortcuts in my path to a World Title in Boxing and this is the next step. When I finally get that opportunity at a Boxing World Title I will be ready.
