Paige VanZant’s bare-knuckle boxing debut delayed until next February as ex-UFC star sizzles in latest bikini shoot

PAIGE VANZANT is kicking back on the beach after having her bare-knuckle boxing debut delayed until February.

The 26-year-old signed a multi-fight deal with BKFC after her UFC contract expired.

VanZant had hoped to make her Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship debut in November.

But MMA Fighting report that her first fight will not take place until February 2021.

The 26-year-old has been training hard to get her 'hands ready' for her first fight.

She has been snapped working in the gym with American Top Team boxing coach Gabriel de Oliveira and Brazilian MMA fighter Janaisa Morandin.

As well as posting workout videos, VanZant has shared some incredible snaps from her latest modelling shoot.

The former UFC star wore just a skimpy pink bikini as she posed on the beach.

Alongside one image, she wrote: "Felt cute now, might bare knuckle punch you later."

One fan joked: "You can punch me anytime!"

Another added: "Can't wait to see you bare-knuckle boxing."

And one Instagram user commented: "You are graced with so much beauty. Too beautiful for bare knuckle."

VanZant, who ended her MMA career with a record of 8-5, is no stranger to posting X-rated snaps.

The American flashed her bum while doing a handstand next to a swimming pool.

And she has shared some pictures of herself doing daily activities while naked with her husband Austin Vanderford.
