Former UFC star signs a long-term promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and will make her professional debut later this year following a memorable career in MMA.

Liverpudlian McCann bid an emotional farewell from MMA when she hung up the gloves at UFC London in March, announcing her retirement after suffering a first-round defeat to Alexia Thainara.
