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.

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.

While Molly McCann might be done with MMA, she's not done fighting. On Thursday, Eddie Hearn announced that McCann officially has signed with Matchroom Boxing, adding that "some massive nights" await the former UFC star.
