Social-media-personality-turned-influencer-boxing-star Elle Brooke is set to face the toughest opponent in her young career in former UFC fighter Paige VanZant. The two Onlyfans stars will lace up the 8oz gloves this Saturday, May 25, at MF & DAZN: Series 15.
Ahead of her bout with VanZant, Brooke was seen sharpening her skills on the focus mitts in the gym, as posted on X:
Though she is undeniably inexperienced against the fighting veteran in VanZant, Brooke is showing some promise with the power in her hands. One cannot deny the emphatic thuds the 26-year-old slugger makes every time she hits the mitts. There's a reason why she's considered by Misfits Boxing as the no.1 pound-for-pound best female influencer boxer today.

She then followed it up with a first-round TKO of fellow influencer boxer Faith Ordway the following year. Her next bout was a hard-fought decision win over Poland's Aleksandra Daniel in the quarter-final of the Kingpyn High Stakes Tournament.
Brooke suffered her first career loss at the hands of Jully Poca. Outsized and outweighed by the Brazilian Poca, 'Dumble Dong', and lost via a unanimous decision.
Brooke bounced back from the loss by winning her first boxing title in a rematch with the aforementioned Bunker earlier this year. She stopped her familiar foe in the third round.
