However, before she made the transition, Holly Holm enjoyed an 11-year pro boxing run that ended with her as the IBA female and WBF female light welterweight champion. She was one of the most feared competitors in the sport and with a 33-2-3 record, she certainly made the most of the time she spent in boxing.
‘Bones’ had previously made an announcement of giving money to fans at Walmart. This time around, after the prestigious induction of Holly Holm was announced, former UFC light heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones was quick to give his thoughts in a brief post on social media.
