Last year, UFC President Dana White said he would not be against letting UFC double champ Amanda Nunes take on Claressa Shields in a boxing super fight.

Nunes is the current UFC bantamweight and featherweight champion in the UFC. After the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor super fight, White said he is open to allowing his fighters to challenge boxing champions.

No word has been given on a timeline for Shields’ entrance into MMA.
