But VanZant told : "I’m not done yet. I know people saw me going into it as a terrible career move and there was all the negativity and the shock of me signing with bare-knuckle boxing.
"Yeah, I did go 0-2. I need to come out there, I need to get some wins under my belt. Those losses even though losing is terrible, I just had so much fun."
VanZant's opponent for her July 9 bout in London is yet to be revealed.
