Elle Brooke announces huge next fight and vows to 'RETIRE' ex-UFC superstar on May 25

Occasional Digest - a story for you

ELLE BROOKE has announced her next fight against Paige VanZant – and vowed to “RETIRE” the ex-UFC star on May 25.

The bout was confirmed on social media after it was accidentally leaked by DAZN just days earlier.

Brooke posted on X: “When they call, I accept. About to retire a UFC star.”

The OnlyFans star is now 4-1 in the ring and most recently stopped ex-Love Islander AJ Bunker in Leeds.

Meanwhile, VanZant has not fought since 2021 when she lost a bare-knuckle boxing rematch against MMA rival Rachael Ostovich.

VanZant left the UFC at 8-5 in the cage for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.

But she lost both her BKFC bouts and has not returned to the ring since – despite teasing a boxing switch in February.

VanZant, 30, told MMAFighting: “Accepted a boxing match, that will be my next fight. It’s really, really exciting.”

The American revealed her boxing debut was set for March but had to be backdated to the summer.

And Brooke, 26, has long named VanZant among her list of dream opponents.

When probed by talkSPORT, she said: “A really huge fight like Paige VanZant or Ronda Rousey.”

Now the two collide in Houston, Texas at Misfits 15 – which marks the first time the crossover boxing promotion has been headlined by women.
