PAIGE VANZANT’S BOXING DEBUT AGAINST ONLYFANS STAR!
The Comeback of “12 Gauge”
Former UFC fighter Paige VanZant is all set to return to action after a considerable break. Her next bout was prematurely revealed by DAZN, taking the spotlight as the main event at the MF & DAZN: X Series 15 scheduled for May 25th. VanZant, known for her striking prowess and agility inside the octagon, is venturing into a new territory—professional boxing.
An Unexpected Challenger
Facing her across the ring will be England’s own OnlyFans sensation Elle Brooke, who has quickly made a name for herself in the boxing world with two consecutive knockout victories and claiming the Misfits Boxing middleweight title. Brooke’s transition from social media fame to combat sports has been both intriguing and impressive, promising a fiery contest against VanZant.
VanZant’s Transition
“12 Gauge” comes off two successive losses in bareknuckle boxing, last competing in July 2021. Since then, VanZant has shifted her focus towards her highly successful OnlyFans page, where she claims to earn more in 24 hours than throughout her entire UFC career. This match marks a significant shift as she dips her toes into traditional boxing for the first time, against a relatively new but fierce competitor.
Social Media Stir
Both fighters have been active on social media regarding the fight. Elle Brooke humorously commented on the leak, likening it to an unexpected pregnancy announcement, whereas VanZant expressed her excitement and readiness in a recent interview with MMA Fighting. Anticipation builds as both athletes prepare to showcase their boxing skills in what promises to be an entertaining and competitive bout.
VanZant’s Fight Record
Despite this being her inaugural boxing match, VanZant is no stranger to combat sports, holding a professional MMA record of 8-5. Her experience and fighting spirit will undoubtedly add an intriguing layer to the fight, making it a must-watch event for fight fans around the globe.
Elle Brooke on the match leak: “Feels like everyone found out I’m pregnant before me. Just to clarify, I’m not pregnant. I mean, it’s just incompetent people leaking stuff early.”
Paige VanZant on accepting the boxing match: “This is very, very exciting. Gloves on, just regular boxing. I thought my next fight would be in bareknuckle, but this opportunity came up, and I just said, ‘Let’s go.’ So, I accepted the match.”
