Paige VanZant is not going to be the first UFC fighter that Britain Hart has fought
The very first fight offer that BKFC presented Britain Hart was former UFC flyweight Bec Rawlings. The fight was a five-round back-and-forth battle where Rawlings won via a split decision. Even though the ruling was not in her favor, Britain Hart believed that her decision to fight bare-knuckled changed her life.
What made Britain Hart drift into the sport of boxing?
Prior to swerving her career into pro-boxing, Britain Hart held aspirations of becoming a sports manager. She had completed her master’s in Sports Management but legal troubles became a roadblock in her career. In her interview with Karyn Bryant, Hart revealed that the sport of boxing helped her pick herself up after having gone through a miserable phase.
Britain Hart refused BKFC’s initial fight offers
When BKFC approached the up-and-coming boxer from Virginia, she expressed her interest to take on a career in boxing with 12-ounce gloves instead. Later in their second pitch, promoters urged Hart to hop on the opportunity as female combat sports is not thriving at the moment and this could be her chance at fame.
