Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and undefeated boxing champion Claressa Shields has been in mixed martial arts (MMA) headlines as of late.
Shields said she believes she’d put current UFC double champ, Amanda Nunes, to sleep inside the boxing ring. UFC President Dana White claims he’s open to putting such a fight together to see whether or not that’s true. However, Shields might just be willing to prove it inside the Octagon as well.
She took to Twitter recently to tease that she’s considering making a transition into MMA.
“This quote is really making me consider trying the @ufc ! I had this weird feeling about turning pro a few years ago and I stumbled up on this quote & decided to do it! And then yesterday this same quote reappeared! With all this talk about me and Nunes I had that same feeling.”
Shields currently reigns as the WBO, WBA, WBC, and IBF middleweight champion of the world. She is undefeated with a record of 9-0, and last fought back in April when she bested Christina Hammer via unanimous decision. As for Nunes, she reigns as the UFC women’s bantamweight and featherweight champion.
“The Lioness” is one of the most vicious knockout artists women’s MMA has ever seen. She hasn’t lost since 2014 and has finished her last three fights via knockout or TKO.

Dana White is down to arrange a boxing superfight between UFC double champ Amanda Nunes and unified women’s middleweight champion Claressa Shields.
Shields is undefeated in her boxing career with a perfect record of 9-0. Now that Nunes has begun making a name for herself in women’s combat sports, capturing both the UFC women’s bantamweight and featherweight titles with a nasty knockout streak, Shields was asked about a potential matchup.
The boxing champ feels she’d no doubt put Nunes to sleep if they met inside the squared circle. Speaking to MMA Tonight on SiriusXM Radio recently, Shields doubled down on her willingness to fight Nunes, saying she’s “more than willing” (via MMA Fighting):
“I give her full props,” Shields said. “In MMA right now, she would beat me at this point. We’re talking about if we fight tomorrow, at this point she would beat me. And at this point if me and her were to fight tomorrow, I would knock her out in a boxing match.
“That’s just pretty clear but if Dana White wants to have her come over to boxing and try her luck with me, I’m more than willing to meet her at 154 [pounds] and we can fight. I think Dana White has a lot of belief in Amanda Nunes and during that interview he didn’t say that I wouldn’t knock her out or he didn’t say that she would beat me, he said that it wouldn’t be a bad fight and it would be interesting.
“I’m happy he believes in her [but] I know what I can do in a boxing ring. No disrespect to her but it’s a different game, MMA and boxing.”
Shields last competed in April when she outclassed Christina Hammer to win the WBO women’s middleweight title. As for Nunes, she comes off a successful 135-pound title defense, knocking out Holly Holm in the first round with “The Preacher’s Daughter’s” own signature head-kick.

Boxer, Claressa Shields has called out UFC champ-champ, Amanda Nunes, for a boxing fight. Although many wrote the fight off of never happening, Dana White tells TMZ Sports it would make for an interesting fight:
“It would be an interesting fight,” White explained.
Although Nunes is an MMA fighter, the UFC President is confident in her skills that she would be able to beat Shields. The way Nunes hits, White says would make a huge impact in that fight:
“Of course she hits like a truck. Anybody that punches the way she does has a chance in a fight,” White said to TMZ Sports. “When you start crossing the boxing and MMA, I didn’t really start it, the fans did, but I was a part of it.”
Regardless, White says he would have interest in the fight, but doesn’t believe it happens. Rather, the Brazilian has business to handle in the UFC, and what she does next is up in the air:
“Amanda Nunes has things she needs to do here first. But, I am not opposed to it,” he said. “Not opposed to it. Maybe Claressa comes over here and fights in MMA.”
As for what that business could be, well, White points to the Cris Cyborg rematch. Yet, the president says she doesn’t think the former champion wants that fight:
“She wants the Cyborg fight, but I don’t think Cyborg wants that fight. It is pretty obvious why she doesn’t want that fight,” White explained. “It is not a good fight for her, it is a bad fight for her.
“I don’t think she is afraid, but I think she is at the point where she is afraid to lose again. Losing again is something she isn’t interested in. She doesn’t want to fight her, Amanda want is, we want it, she doesn’t want it.”

Everyone wants a crack at Amanda Nunes. The current UFC double champion comes off a successful first-round knockout title defense over Holly Holm at UFC 239.
“The Lioness” has looked unstoppable as of late, finishing nearly everyone who steps into the Octagon with her. The power in Nunes’ hands is unlike anything women’s mixed martial arts (MMA) has ever seen. The only woman who could rival her power, Cris Cyborg, Nunes finished in under a minute.
However, WBO, WBA, WBC, and IBF middleweight boxing champion Claressa Shields believes she can put Nunes away. Speaking to TMZ Sports, Shields said she believes she’d put the Brazilian to sleep:
“The greatest in MMA, but not the greatest fighter [Nunes is],” Shields said. “I’m the greatest of all time. I’ve always been. Amanda Nunes – she ain’t been to the Olympics two times. I’ve been on top of the world twice. I’m not putting myself against Amanda, because I like her, we’re both women athletes. I actually praise her like I did Cris [Cyborg]. She’s the GOAT in MMA, and I’m in boxing. And if we were to fight I’d win.”
Shields was then asked if she’d beat Nunes in MMA, to which she hilariously responded, “Hell nah, I can’t wrestle. But in boxing, yeah, Amanda Nunes would go to sleep.”
Nunes has virtually cleaned out the bantamweight division, and with featherweight so slim with contenders, perhaps a superfight between Nunes and Shields could come into play. No cross-sport fight has ever happened between MMA and boxing since Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor. Perhaps Nunes could be the first to change that.
What do you think about a potential clash between Shields and Nunes? Would Shields truly put Nunes to sleep?
