UFC women’s bantamweight and featherweight champion Amanda Nunes has been invited to Claressa Shields’ next fight.
Talk has been heating up of a potential fight between Nunes and unified middleweight boxing champion Shields. The latter even showed up recently at Nunes’ title defense against Germaine de Randamie at UFC 245 earlier this month.
However, Nunes shut down talk of crossover fight afterwards unless Shields was willing to meet her inside the Octagon.
Regardless, Shields’ promoter Dmitriy Salita has invited Nunes to attend the American’s light middleweight title fight against Ivana Habazin on January 10.
“It was great for Claressa to go see Amanda fight live and that created a lot of interest,” Salita told MMA Junkie. “We’d like to invite Amanda to Claressa’s next fight, which is going to be on Jan. 10. Hopefully she can show up and see Claressa first hand.
“It’s a work in progress – the media is interested, the fans are interested and, from the feedback we’ve received from multiple media sources, you can see how many people will write about it.”
Despite Nunes seeming unreceptive to a fight unless it’s in mixed martial arts, Salita is positive a crossover fight in some form could come to fruition before the end of 2020 — especially after observing the increasing interest from fans in wanting it to happen:
“In the ideal world, Claressa will fight Amanda sometime before the end of the year,” he added. “So I think sometime next fall, late time in fall would be the perfect time. By that time, I believe that both of these champions, the name is going to progress and grow bigger and the popularity is going to be there.
“If it happens, I believe it will be the biggest women’s match, boxing or UFC, of all time, and something in the likes of Mayweather-McGregor. If it can happen, it would really be tremendous, not only for the sports world, but also culturally and socially. I think it’ll have a tremendous, positive effect on the growth of women’s sports not only in the United States but throughout the whole world.”

“You know what he (Dana White) said, that Amanda would do anything. She feels she’s – she is the GWOAT (Greatest Woman Of All Time) in MMA, and I’m the GWOAT in boxing. It would be one of the biggest matches in boxing history. I think that you’ve never seen two women who are young, in their prime, hungry and who just don’t want to lose so I think that me and her facing each other, would be one of those fights that people really see fireworks and stuff like that.”
Nunes seemed uninterested in a boxing match during her post-fight press-conference but Shields believes the pair will throw down in 2020 before she begins preparation for a rematch in MMA. She said. “Mid next year, end of next year, MMA match can happen a year after that.
“It’s just about whenever we get a deal signed and sealed then let me know how much time I have to get ready to get inside the octagon and I’m not talking about six months, or a year but give me like actual time where I can have a chance – I feel like I have a chance now but once we go to the ground and stuff, I have to learn that, and I know that. Me being an Olympic athlete, I know that I can learn a different sport and catch on quicker than just a regular person.” (Transcribed by MMA Junkie)

Amanda Nunes has no interest in facing Claressa Shields — at least in a boxing match.
Shields — boxing’s unified middleweight champion — has been campaigning to fight Nunes with talks of a fight in boxing as well as mixed martial arts (MMA). UFC president Dana White also hinted earlier this week that a crossover fight was possible.
So when Shields was in attendance at UFC 245 on Saturday night, many felt she would confront Nunes. However, Nunes — who successfully defended her title against Germaine de Randamie via unanimous decision — didn’t mention her.
And when asked about a potential fight with Shields in the post-fight press conference, she called on her to fight in her world:
“She saw tonight. I don’t think she’s going to want to do anything with this,” Nunes said. “If she wants to see me, come to my world. I’m an MMA fighter. If she wants to see me, I’m going to wrestle the sh*t out of you, finish you with jiujitsu submissions. I want to see how she’s going to feel.”
As for the prospect of fighting Shields in both sports, it doesn’t make sense for Nunes:
“I’m an MMA fighter. Why she want to take me from my sport?” she added. “If she wants to fight me, come into my world. It doesn’t make any sense.
“I respect her as a boxer but I’m an MMA fighter. I don’t like to fight boxing. I like MMA. I like what I did today. If she can handle five rounds, come see me.”
