(DEC 5) LOS ANGELES, CA
– Brazilian MMA superstar, Cris Cyborg, is all set to make her
U.S. boxing debut on BLK Prime PPV, when she squares off against
Gabrielle Holloway, on the Terence “Bud” Crawford (38-0,
29 KOs) vs. David Avanesyan (29-3-1, 17 KOs) card, live from the
CHI Health Center in Omaha, Neb. on December 10.
Crawford vs. Avanesyan, a 12-round WBO welterweight world title
clash, will stream live on the BLK Prime app and across all
cable and satellite outlets for the price of $39.99. BLK Prime,
a Silicon Valley-based tech company, is a subscription
video-on-demand platform that utilizes elite technology to bring
the best picture-perfect stream available. The telecast will
begin at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
Here is what Cyborg had to say about her recent training camp,
her matchup with Gabby Halloway, fighting on BLK Prime PPV, and
more.
On her recent training camp:
“Things are going great. Boxing is a lot different than MMA, but
the hard work stays consistent. The biggest difference is the
time. The rounds go so fast, I only have two minutes to win the
round. So, the big thing I worked on is focusing on starting
quickly. I have given this camp my all, and I am expecting to
win.”
On her matchup with Gabby Holloway:
“I am fighting a tough opponent. Gabby Halloway has never been
stopped and fought someone I knew in Raquel Miller. She hasn't
been the most active but has been around the game for a long
time, and has more experience than me, as a pro boxer. I am not
overlooking her at all. I want to keep up a good pace and apply
a lot of pressure.”
On what a win will do for her career:
“I want to be able to fight against the big names in the sport
of boxing. I want to compete and challenge myself against the
best of this era, and to do so it all starts on a win on
December 10th. A win puts me in a great position.”
On fighting on BLK Prime PPV:
“I was a part of women's MMA when it was a new thing, and BLK
Prime gives me the same feeling as some of the great companies
like Strikeforce, when I was on my rise. I want to headline a
card on BLK Prime in the future and I am excited that they are
allowing the fighters to take control of their career. The fans
must support this event, and bring in a new age of boxing.”
