Ronda Rousey is one of the biggest female athletes on the planet right now.
Rowdy has absolutely dominated the UFC bantamweight division and, before that, battled her way to Olympic bronze in Judo.
But now people want to know if she can conquer a third fight sport – boxing.
Despite her background in Judo, Rousey has been working on her boxing – and her toughest test will come in the shape of multiple division boxing champion Holly Holm at UFC 193 on November 14.
But one of boxing’s greatest fighters Oscar De La Hoya revealed he’s already in talks to get Rousey in the ring.
The Golden Boy Promotions founder told Fight Hub: “We’ve discussed it, and whenever she’s ready to step into the ring as a boxer, then obviously Golden Boy Promotions will be right there with her.”
It’s not a bolt from the blue either – Rousey has spoken previously about cemented her legacy as one of the greats by getting in the ring.
“I want to be remembered as one of the greatest fighters of all time, in any sport,” Rousey said. “What I would love to do – I’ve got an Olympic medal, so I would love to retire from MMA as one of the greatest of all-time, I would love to have a chance to be a boxing world champion.”
Rousey recently featured on the cover of The Ring magazine, much to the chagrin of boxing fans.
But De la Hoya speaks highly of the unbeaten UFC champion: “She’s really good – speed, power and instinct, which is very important.
“She dares to be great. That’s the difference with a lot of fighters. She takes the risks, and that’s what I love about her.”
We really wouldn’t bet against her.
