Former UFC star signs a long-term promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and will make her professional debut later this year following a memorable career in MMA.

Just months after her last Octagon appearance and retirement from MMA, one former UFC star has officially decided to make the move to boxing.

Former UFC star Molly McCann says she intends to "win a world title within eight fights" after signing with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing. Liverpool's McCann retired from MMA in March following defeat by Alexia Thainara at UFC London.
