Last night (Sat., May 25, 2024), in the main event of Misfits Boxing 15, former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Strawweight turned Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) boxer Paige VanZant fought to a dreaded split draw against Onlyfans model and social media influencer Elle Brooke from inside NRG Arena in Houston, Texas (watch highlights). Brooke retained her Misfits Middleweight title.
After the fight, VanZant posted to her Instagram that she wants a rematch in August. She is willing to go into enemy territory by fighting Brooke at the O2 Arena in London, England.
VanZant revealed during the broadcast that she signed a multi-fight deal with Misfits Boxing.
“I watched her past fights. I knew it’d be tough. It is what it is. It sets up the perfect rematch,” VanZant said after her fight. “I signed a multi-fight contract for a reason. It looks like we’re going to do it one more time.”
Brooke spoke with Misfits Boxing after the split draw and also recommended a rematch in London.
“Yeah, obviously, I didn’t get the win, but I’m still the champ,” Brooke said. “This was the biggest step up for any influencer. Arguably, I could have won that; it could have gone either way, whatever. But yeah, this isn’t even my home turf. This will be a great fight in London, number two.”
VanZant (0-0-1) has not won a fight in combat sports since 2019 (her last UFC win against Rachael Ostovich). She went 0-2 in BKFC and now has a draw in boxing. Meanwhile Brooke (2-0-1) has been perfect in Misfits Boxing besides the draw.
