UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg seems ready to pursue a boxing career in addition to her mixed martial arts career.

Cris “Cyborg” Justino is looking to get involved in a boxing career and the California State Athletic Commission just got her a step closer. According to Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com, the CSAC has granted Cyborg with a boxing license and adds that she intends to pursue a career in the Jr. Middleweight (154 lbs) division.

According to Helwani, Cyborg’s deal with the UFC ends in October and while they will have exclusive negotiation rights, the champion seems intent on starting a boxing career. In addition to her license, the CSAC granted Cyborg a federal boxing ID.

Hints of Cyborg’s boxing interest became clear as she trained with two-time Olympic champion and undefeated WBC champion Claressa Shields earlier this summer. The UFC women’s featherweight champion finally earned the belt she had worked so long for when she defeated Tonya Evinger at UFC 214 this past July. Cyborg earned the title that was previously held by Germaine de Randamie who was stripped of the title when she refused to fight Cyborg in her first title defense.

Leading up to her fight with Evinger, both Cyborg and Shields posted videos of the two sparring together as they both were preparing for their respective fights. After she won the featherweight title, Cyborg accompanied Shields to the ring for her fight where she won both WBC and IBF titles by defeating Nikki Adler earlier this past August.

While the news of Cyborg obtaining her boxing license turns attention away from her UFC career, Helwani added that the promotion is still looking to book her against former bantamweight champion Holly Holm.

Holm recently came out and said that she is down to fight Cyborg as long as she is given the right conditions, like time for a full training camp.
