Paige VanZant: Ready to Fight for Free Despite OnlyFans Fortune as She Prepares for Boxing Debut
Paige VanZant, the former UFC fighter, has made a fortune on OnlyFans, but her love for fighting is so strong that she has revealed she would even do it for free.
Despite leaving the UFC with an 8-5 record to join the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, VanZant has spent the last three years focusing on boxing training while amassing a huge following on the raunchy content site OnlyFans.
During her time away from the ring, VanZant has been raking in earnings through her subscribers on OnlyFans. However, she has made it clear that no amount of money earned outside the ring or cage will ever be enough to make her walk away from combat.
In a recent interview with SunSport, VanZant stated, "I don't look at my bank account. I have a financial advisor, so I honestly have no idea how much money I have! I know that I like to work out, I like to work hard, I like to win fights to be successful and I like to take care of those around me.
As long as I'm continuing to do what I love, for me it's just background noise. And of course, it's a benefit to me I get to call what I love a career and it can support me financially. But I would be doing this for free. It's what I find fun."
VanZant's dedication to the sport will be on display as she returns to the ring in Texas over the weekend to face adult film star-turned-boxer Elle Brooke. This fight marks the beginning of a multi-bout deal with Misfits Boxing, known for celebrity-style crossover bouts, which will keep VanZant busy in the coming months.
Despite her financial success outside of fighting, VanZant emphasized that she cannot see herself giving up the sport. "I think it's pretty well known out there that I absolutely don't need to fight anymore but I can't see myself waking up and not doing this.
I can't see myself waking up and not going to the gym and not training. It's in my blood, it's what I absolutely love to do and I guess the moment I stop loving this then I won't fight anymore," she said.
VanZant's upcoming opponent, Elle Brooke, has also found success both inside and outside the ring. With a 4-1 record in the ring and a Misfits belt to her name, Brooke is known to make over £60,000-per-MONTH on OnlyFans, similar to VanZant's success on the platform.
Reflecting on her upcoming match against Brooke, VanZant expressed her respect for anyone who steps into the ring. "I respect anyone who fights. This is not easy going in and fighting another person that's training across the world to try and kill you," she said.
As VanZant prepares for her boxing debut, she sees this match as the beginning of a new chapter in her career. "It's crazy getting this boxing match, I feel like it's opened like a whole new wave of passion in me. Just dedicating so long with my team in the gym preparing for a boxing match I just feel like this has opened the door to the next chapter of my career. I know for a fact this is the first of many," she stated.
With her unwavering passion for fighting and dedication to her craft, Paige VanZant is set to make a powerful statement as she steps into the boxing ring once again. Despite her financial success outside of fighting, her love for the sport remains at the forefront, driving her to continue pursuing her passion for combat sports. As she enters this new phase of her career, fans can expect to see VanZant's determination and skill on display in the boxing ring for many bouts to come.
