It’s official! Paige VanZant returns to fight Elle Brooke for the Misfits Boxing middleweight title on May 25

After jumping the gun earlier this week, Misfits Boxing has officially announced that Paige VanZant will make her promotional debut against Elle Brooke.

On Thursday, Brooke was infuriated when the promotion inadvertently leaked the surprise headliner during the Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia press event. But now, the fight is officially official with the promotion revealing that Brooke will put her MFB middleweight championship on the line against ’12 Gauge’ at MF & DAZN: X Series 15 on Saturday, May 25 at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

“X Series 15 will go down in history as the night the female division, in all of crossover boxing, was taken to a whole new level,” Misfits Co-President Mams Taylor said in a statement.
