Paige VanZant has said her fight against p*rn star Elle Brooke at Misfits 15 “won’t go the full five rounds”.
The former UFC star will make her long-awaited boxing debut against fellow adult content creator Brooke on the latest Misfits card on Saturday (May 25). ’12 Gauge’ will return to the ring for the first time in 33 months since she lost to Rachael Ostovich in a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship clash in July 2021.
VanZant faces Brooke in the NRG Arena in Houston, Texas, looking to make her fighting pedigree evident following her time in MMA, where she won eight of her 13 fights and had two bare-knuckle fights - though she lost both of those bouts.

At the press conference, VanZant was asked whether she thought her contest against Brooke will go to the bell or if she would stop the Misfits women’s middleweight champion. “No, I definitely don’t anticipate this going the full five (rounds),” she said.
“The way that I’ve prepared, I’ve dedicated the last three years to straight boxing, bare-knuckle boxing prior to this, but I’m really excited to do one with the gloves on and show everyone how much of my life I’ve dedicated to straight boxing.”

The two fighters came face-to-face at the weigh-in where VanZant arrived in a white blazer and shorts, with Brooke sporting a figure-hugging black dress and carrying her pink Misfits belt. However, for the spectators, there was no hostile behaviour between the two.
VanZant’s Misfits debut sees her challenge Brooke who has five fights previously to her name, stopping former Love Islander AJ Bunker in January to extend her record to 4-1. The biggest crossover fight in the event’s history was dubbed the "fittest boxing fight ever" by fans, with one saying: "Are... are we gonna see a collab after? Asking for a friend."
Kalle Sauerland, Co-President of Misfits Boxing, revealed his excitement at the fight: “Make no mistake, this is a colossal clash in the world of crossover boxing,” he said.
“Brooke is the No2 pound-for-pound female fighter in Misfits Boxing but facing VanZant, a proven and global star from UFC, is by far the biggest challenge of her boxing career.”
Misfits Boxing 15 will be shown live on DAZN and will begin at 12am (Sunday morning) in the UK. VanZant's main event fight with Brooke is expected to take place from around 4am.
