Video: Paige VanZant and Elle Brooke face off at the MF & DAZN: X Series 15 press conference
Former UFC standout Paige VanZant’s boxing debut is two days away and she came face to face with her opponent on Thursday.
VanZant will take on fellow OnlyFans creator Elle Brooke, the Misfits Boxing women’s middleweight champion, in a title challenge on Saturday at MF & DAZN: X Series 15 at NRG Arena in Houston.
The fight will be VanZant’s first since his July 2021 loss to Rachael Ostovich. The loss was VanZant’s second in as many BKFC appearances. She was booked twice for a third BKFC fight in 2022, but withdrew from both.
In the nearly three years since the fight against Ostovich, VanZant has largely focused on her OnlyFans page. She has spoken openly about her income far exceeding anything she earned during her UFC stint.
Brooke, 26, took a reverse route to VanZant. Initially an adult film star and OnlyFans content creator, Brooke decided to enter the world of influencer boxing. She is 4-1 since her debut in July 2022.
