Despite offering to help with Cyborg’s boxing camp, Shields claimed that Cyborg avoided further sparring sessions. These revelations fueled his confidence in Shields’ boxing abilities and his desire to face Cyborg in the ring.
The feud further heated up as Shields and Cyborg exchanged insults on social media, with Cyborg claiming that Shields was unable to make weight for his recent bout.

Claims of quarrels and financial disputes

However, a dispute arose over weight class, with Cyborg insisting on a lower weight despite an initial agreement. The SEALs’ dissatisfaction with Cyborg’s reluctance to join the fight further fueled their conflict.
What’s next despite being a cyborg?
Speculation continues about a potential matchup between the two fighters, despite Cyborg’s reluctance to accept the proposed fight. Shields’ dominance in boxing and Cyborg’s success in mixed martial arts make the possibility of a crossover fight even more intriguing. It remains to be seen whether their feud will come to a head in the boxing ring, but fans are eager to see how it ends.
