For the second time this month, Justino will compete in a
professional boxing match in Columbia. This time, “Cyborg” will
lock horns with 23-year-old Josefina Travecedo (3-3, 2KOs) in a
four-round bout at 154 pounds. “Cyborg” announced the bout in a
release on Wednesday.
The pairing comes on the heels of the Brazilian’s second-round
knockout victory over Karen Fernandes in Medellin, Columbia, on
March 3. According to the release, “Cyborg” remained in the country
“to receive post fight therapy at BioXcellerator, the leading stem
cell treatment and research facilities in the world.”
With a win over Travecedo, Justino is targeting a boxing match
against WBC champion Cecilia Braekhus this winter.
The Chute Boxe standout’s lone MMA bout of 2024 occurred at PFL
Super Fights “Battle of the Giants: Brace for Impact,” where she took a
five-round verdict over former
PFL two-division champion Larissa
Pacheco. With a 28-2 record and titles in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship, Bellator
MMA, Strikeforce
and
Invicta FC, “Cyborg” is one of the most accomplished female
mixed martial artists of all-time. A timetable for her MMA return
is unknown, though it will likely be under the PFL banner.
