Paige VanZant reveals ‘really cool’ boxing crossover as ex-UFC star set for first fight in three years
PAIGE VANZANT revealed she is set to make her boxing debut after three years out of action.
The ex-UFC star has accepted a fight but it is not in MMA or bare-knuckle boxing.
She said: “I got called by my manager day before yesterday, and I got offered a fight.
“A boxing match, and I took it. I don’t know if I can give all the details, I haven’t signed a contract yet. I accepted the fight.”
VanZant left the UFC in 2020 and made a shock switch to the brutal world of bare-knuckle boxing.
She had two bouts but lost both, to Britain Hart and Rachael Ostovich and was set for a third.
But the fight never happened and VanZant has instead raked it in through her OnlyFans account.
It left her fight career up in the air but now it appears the American is preparing for a long overdue boxing move.
She said: “It was initially, the date they offered me was March 23, which was perfect.
“Hell yeah, I’ll get one more fight in before I turn 30, because I turn 30 [on] March 26. So I told my manager f*** yeah, I’ll take it.

“I’ll get back into boxing. I was just really excited. The opportunity was really cool.
“So it was perfect, eight-week camp, I don’t that long to stress or overthink, or anything like that, so that’s perfect. It turns out it’s not going to be March 23.
“After I accepted it, they’re like, you know what, we’re going to move it to [May or June].
“I heard both dates, so once I have the full information, we’ll be able to release it on the podcast.
“Accepted a boxing match, that will be my next fight. It’s really, really exciting.”
