Retired UFC Veteran Turns to Boxing, Signs with Eddie Hearn
In a surprising turn of events, Molly McCann, a former UFC strawweight fighter, has announced her decision to switch gears and pursue a career in professional boxing. The 35-year-old athlete has reportedly signed a deal with Matchroom Boxing, a renowned boxing promotion led by the prominent Eddie Hearn.
This announcement comes as no surprise considering McCann’s impressive amateur boxing background. Despite choosing mixed martial arts (MMA) over boxing initially due to business concerns, her love for the squared circle remains unwavering. In an interview, McCann emphasized her passion for boxing and revealed her plan to fight aggressively, targeting opponents’ chins in a bold and entertaining manner.
Notably, this news follows recent developments as another UFC legend, Holly Holm, has also opted to return to professional boxing under Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions.
