Elle Brooke, a boxer known for her presence on OnlyFans, is gearing up for a significant challenge in her upcoming bout against former UFC athlete Paige VanZant.
Scheduled to take place on May 25 at Misfits Boxing X Series 15, this fight was revealed unexpectedly during the DAZN broadcast of Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney’s press conference. The leak prompted strong reactions, with Misfits promoter Mams Taylor calling it “absolutely foolish” and Brooke initially dismissing it as “fake news” in response, though she later deleted her comment.
While Paige VanZant once showed promise in the UFC, her career trajectory was hindered by injuries, resulting in losses in four out of nine UFC fights. Transitioning to bare-knuckle boxing with BKFC, VanZant faced further setbacks, including defeats against Britain Hart and Rachael Ostovich, leading to her departure from the promotion without further competition.
Brooke’s return to the ring in January saw her securing victory over Love Island star Andrea-Jane Bunker in a rematch, earning the women’s middleweight belt for the promotion. Despite downplaying the significance of facing a former UFC fighter like VanZant after her recent victory, Brooke remains poised for this challenging matchup.
