OnlyFans star Elle Brooke sent UFC veteran Paige VanZant crashing to the canvas in the opening stanza en route to a split draw.
VanZant came into the Misfits Boxing 15 main event on Saturday night as a heavy favourite but was made to work against her novice foe.
From the off, VanZant looked to stick and move while Brooke stalked her adversary, hoping to pull her into a war.
Towards the back end of the round, PVZ began to hold her feet and was tagged with a vicious right hook that sat her down.
VanZant recovered and battled back well yet Brooke always remained in the fight as the crossover clash went to the scorecards.
One judge gave it to Brooke 48-46, a second official went 48-46 for VanZant and the third had it 47-47 as the contest was declared a draw.
As a result, Brooke retains her Misfits Boxing middleweight title and the pair are now expected to run it back in the not-so-distant future.
Both women looked visibly disappointed with the result but neither cried robbery.
“It’s one of those things where you have to rewatch it,” Brooke said about the decision.
“Because in there, you’re getting hit but you’re also hitting.
“I don’t think I’m experienced enough to think ‘Yeah, I’m 100 per cent winning this’
“But with the knockdown, I could see me winning it but I have to watch it back.
“I was just saying to Paige ‘We get a big money rematch! This is perfect!’”
VanZant, who was making her boxing debut, added: “Honestly I said it would be a tough fight the whole camp.
“I knew how tough she was. I took the fight for a reason. I was excited. I watched her past fights.
“I knew it’d be tough. It is what it is. It sets up the perfect rematch.
“I signed a multi-fight contract for a reason. It looks like we’re going to do it one more time, I think in Dubai it sounds like.”
