Elle Brooke and Paige VanZant are set to headline Misfits Boxing 15 tonight in Houston, Texas, in what is being billed as the biggest female crossover boxing match to date. Brooke, the current MFB champion, will defend her title against former UFC star VanZant, who has also competed in bare-knuckle boxing.
The main event is expected to start at around 4am UK time on Sunday, with the card beginning at midnight. All fight times are subject to change depending on the length of undercard bouts. The event will be broadcast live on DAZN, with the first fights streamed from midnight.
In the co-main event, former NFL player Le’Veon Bell returns to Misfits Boxing to face Tristan Hamm in the opening quarter-final of the MFB Cruiserweight Title Tournament. The full card also includes bouts such as Okemka Jibunor vs Brendan Kelly, Ree Moo vs Elijah Smith, and Bi Nguyen vs Silvia Fernandez.
VanZant said: 'She's my next opponent so she's the most important opponent. I've prepared for this fight like a title fight because it is.' Brooke countered: 'Even though she says she considers me a professional fighter, she perceives this as an easy fight. She's been on a losing streak and sees this as an easy win, so she's definitely underestimating me.'
