Holly
Holm is returning to the Sweet Science.
The former
UFC women’s bantamweight queen has signed with Jake Paul’s
Most Valuable Promotions, it was announced during a press
conference in Anaheim on Wednesday. Holm will box Yolanda Vega on
the Jake
Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. undercard on June 28.
Holm hasn’t fought in a boxing match since May 2013, when she
outpointed Mary McGee at Route 66 Casino in Albuquerque, New
Mexico. “The Preacher’s Daughter” owns a 33-2-3 career mark and
held multiple world titles in three weight classes. She was
inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in
2022.
Holm made her mixed martial arts debut in 2011 and eventually
became a major star when she knocked out Ronda
Rousey to capture bantamweight gold in the UFC 193 headliner in
November 2015. Holm remained among the top fighters in her division
for the duration of her UFC tenure, but she parted ways with the
promotion earlier this year on the heels of a loss to Kayla
Harrison. The
Jackson-Wink MMA standout was expected to continue her MMA
career with the
Global Fight League, but the organization canceled its first
two events — which included Holm’s bout vs. Julia
Budd.
Mexico’s Vega has compiled a 10-0 boxing record while fighting
exclusively in her home country. She has fought four times in the
past year, most recently beating Claudia Fernanda Herrera Lopez via
unanimous decision in March.
