Paige VanZant's Transition from MMA to Boxing
Former UFC fighter Paige VanZant has made a significant switch to boxing, underscoring her enduring passion for combat sports despite her lucrative OnlyFans income. VanZant remains committed to fighting, emphasizing that her participation in the sport transcends monetary benefits. "I know that I like to work out, I like to work hard, I like to win fights to be successful and I like to take care of those around me," VanZant remarked.
Financial Independence and Passion for Fighting
VanZant spoke about her approach to managing her earnings, revealing a hands-off strategy. "I don't look at my bank account. I have a financial advisor, so I honestly have no idea how much money I have! But as long as I’m continuing to do what I love, it's just background noise," she stated. Her statement reflects a focus on her career passion over her financial status, which is robustly supported by her activities on OnlyFans amongst other platforms.
Enduring Love for Combat Sports
"It's a benefit to me I get to call what I love a career and it can support me financially, but I would be doing this for free. It's what I find fun," VanZant expressed. This declaration highlights that for VanZant, combat sports is more about the love of the game than the financial gains associated with it.
The Challenge and Thrill of Professional Fighting
Reflecting on her approach and mindset towards professional fighting, VanZant acknowledges the heavy demands and risks involved. "This is not easy going in and fighting another person that's training across the world to try and kill you," she stated, conveying the sheer gravity and peril inherent in professional boxing. Such statements encapsulate her respect for the sport and her opponents alike.
New Opportunities in Boxing
VanZant’s boxing journey begins with a multi-fight deal with Misfits Boxing, known for its celebrity-style crossover bouts. This move not only marks a new chapter in her athletic career but also showcases her widespread appeal and marketability, boosted by her fame on platforms such as OnlyFans. "I think it's pretty well known out there that I absolutely don't need to fight anymore but I can't see myself waking up and not doing this," she commented on her relentless drive and the intrinsic joy she derives from fighting.
