REPORT: CRIS CYBORG RETURNING TO THE BOXING RING, FACES KELSEY WICKSTRUM ON JANUARY 19

Bellator Women’s Featherweight Champion Cris Cyborg recently defeated Cat Zingano at Bellator 300 and it appears that her next combat sports foray will be in the boxing ring.

That’s because ESPN is reporting that Cyborg will return to the squared circle on January 19 to face the undefeated Kelsey Wickstrum.

Cyborg is 1-0-0 as a professional boxer, having defeated Gabrielle Hollaway in December of 2020, with that win coming by unanimous decision. Wickstrum is 2-0-0 as a pro boxer, with one of those two victories coming by way of knockout.

There have been no other bouts announced at this time.
