Elle Brooke earns praise from fellow OF boxer Ebanie Bridges for Paige VanZant showdown: "She is never shy of a challenge"

OnlyF*ans star turned influencer boxer Elle Brooke was an underdog heading into her fight with UFC veteran Paige VanZant at Misfits Boxing 15. However, defying the odds, Booke held her own against '12 Gauge' in the fight and earned a split decision draw against her much more experienced opponent.

Brooke's laudable feat has impressed many, including Ebanie Bridges. Bridges, a former women's world bantamweight champion, was pleased with Brooke's statement performance, which included a knockdown over the former MMA star in the opening round.

In an Instagram post following the fight, 'The Blonde Bomber' lauded her fellow social media celebrity for her spectacular showing, giving special mention to how much the 26-year-old has improved in the pugilistic arts in a short time:

"Proud is an understatement. The work this woman has put into her boxing in the last two years, showed again last night [May 25, 2024]. She is never shy of a challenge and actually wants to challenge herself, and last night she showed she belongs in there with a veteran of combat sports. Only her sixth fight and just improves massively each fight."

Brooke's overall boxing record is 4-1-1, including her professional and exhibition outings. Meanwhile, VanZant is abundantly more experienced in combat sports.

While she lacks an extensive boxing resume, the ex-UFC standout boasts an MMA record of 8-5 with wins against the likes of Felice Herrig and Rachael Ostovich, among others.
