Elle Brooke and Paige VanZant will collide in a huge headline contest at the latest Misfits Boxing series tonight.
In what is being billed as the biggest female crossover boxing match-up ever, Brooke travels to Houston, Texas to take on former UFC star VanZant who has also had a spell in bare-knuckle boxing. Brooke claimed the MFB crown with a stunning stoppage win over AJ Bunker at X Series 12 in Leeds earlier this year but knows she will have to produce the performance of her fighting life in order to defeat former UFC fighter VanZant and keep her title.
And in the co-main event, former NFL star Le’Veon Bell makes his Misfits Boxing return to take on ‘Mr Adventure’ Tristan Hamm, in the opening quarter-final of the MFB Cruiserweight Title Tournament. Here is everything you need to know about the fights...
The main event is expected to start at around 4am on Sunday in the UK with the fight taking place in Houston this weekend. The card will start at around midnight but all fight times are subject to change depending on how long the undercard bouts take to complete.

Paige VanZant: "She's my next opponent so she's the most important opponent. The most important fight I've ever had is the next opponent and I've prepared for this fight like a title fight because it is. Just because I'm in a different crowd my energy seems reserved but this is what I am. I'm not a s***talker and I'm not an influencer but I'm just going to show up. I don't anticipate this going the full five rounds just because of the way I've prepared. I've spent five years dedicated to boxing; first bare-knuckle and then this and I can't wait to show people what I've been doing."
Elle Brooke: "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 she sees this as an easy win so she's definitely underestimating me. She's done bare-knuckle and UFC but she's never been in a ring. I think she's tough so I don't think I'll knock her out. If it happens, it happens but I'm expecting a five-round war."
