“I take my hat off to her (Paige), because she didn't have to do this (take a chance on bare-knuckle boxing). Now, I take my hat off even more because she didn't need to do that again. She's going to perform again because she wants to prove herself and that's the kind of person I like to do business with, who I have a lot of respect for. I can’t wait to see what she gets,” Feldman said.
There is still no official date for VanZant's new fight, David says he has an idea of when the athlete will be back in action. Defeated by Britain Hart at the beginning of February, Paige will have a more renowned opponent, as far as her boss is concerned.
“I think she will adapt more. I think she will take a step forward in her next confrontation. We certainly have an opponent. (…) It will be a well-known name and I think the public will be excited about this one. It will be a competitive contest,” she concluded.
VanZant confirmed her transfer to 'bare-knuckle boxing' after not having her contract renewed with Ultimate in 2020. The fighter's decision surprised fans, who did not imagine the athlete taking risks in such a sport.
