Paige VanZant to Enter the Boxing Ring

Former UFC athlete and Bare Knuckle FC participant Paige VanZant appears set to enter the boxing ring, with her opponent likely to be porn star and Misfits boxing participant Ellie Brook.

During the final press conference for the Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia fight, DAZN announced a previously unmentioned match: Paige VanZant vs. Ellie Brook on May 25th at the Misfits X Series 15 event.

"It feels like everyone knew I was pregnant before I did. To clarify, I'm not pregnant. I just mean incompetent people who spill the beans too early," Brook wrote following the announcement. Misfits events typically feature celebrities who have not previously participated in fully sanctioned boxing matches. VanZant had indeed announced a boxing match earlier but had not specified her opponent or the date of the event.
