Holly Holm set for first boxing match in 12 years after signing with Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions

Holly Holm has her next fight lined up — and it won't be in MMA.

At Wednesday's kickoff press conference for the June 28 boxing showdown between Jake Paul and Julio Caesar Chavez Jr., Paul's Most Valuable Promotions closed out the evening with a surprise announcement, revealing that the former UFC bantamweight champion Holm is set to make her in-ring return on the card for the first time in more than a decade against Yolanda Vega.

The bout will be a 10-round lightweight contest with two-minute rounds.

“I'm excited to partner with Most Valuable Promotions and return to the boxing ring,” Holm said in a Wednesday press release.
