Elle Brooke reveals big upcoming fight, promises to retire ex-UFC star on May 25th
In addition to declaring her next bout with Paige VanZant, Elle Brooke has promised to “RETIRE” the former UFC fighter on May 25.
A few days before, DAZN had unintentionally released the fight, which was later verified on social media.
Brooke shared something on X: “When they call, I accept. About to retire a UFC star.”

The OnlyFans celebrity, who is currently 4-1 in the ring, most recently defeated former Love Island contestant AJ Bunker in Leeds.
VanZant, meanwhile, has not competed since 2021, when she was defeated by MMA competitor Rachael Ostovich in a rematch in bare-knuckle boxing.

After losing 8–5 in the cage to the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, VanZant left the UFC.
Though she hinted at a boxing switch in February, she lost both of her BKFC fights and hasn’t entered the ring since.
The 30-year-old VanZant stated to MMAFighting, “Accepted a boxing match, that will be my next fight. It’s really, really exciting.”

The American disclosed that although it had to be moved back to the summer, her boxing debut was originally scheduled for March.
Furthermore, Brooke, 26, has long considered VanZant to be one of her ideal rivals.

Speaking to talkSPORT, she described the bout as “a really huge fight like Paige VanZant or Ronda Rousey.”
At Misfits 15, the two will go off in Houston, Texas, which will be the first time women have headlined the crossover boxing event.
