Ronda Rousey already has a full plate but it seems she just keeps going and going.
After hinting recently that she is seriously considering a career in the WWE, it seems that it is not the only thing she wants to do in the future.
This time, the UFC women’s bantamweight champion is also exploring the possibility of a boxing career which joins the long list of challenges she wants to accomplish.
Of course, there is no doubt that she has proven her dominance in the UFC world. With that in her repertoire, her transition into the WWE world could be very much as easy as pie.
Her skill easily allows her to fit into other niches, including boxing and jiu-jitsu where she could most likely end up as champion given her dedication and pursuit of being the best in anything she does.
With some guidance and training, there is no doubt that Rousey can easily be a success in those sports which are somehow related.
For example, boxing would require more agility and, of course, proper use of hands. Given that Rousey has demonstrated her lightning quick hand speed, there is no doubt that she can be a forced in boxing if she so chooses. Check her out during one of her trainings in the video.
If and when she does decide to pursue boxing, there is one man already waiting in the wings ready to help and promote her – Oscar De La Hoya. In fact, the Golden Boy Promotions' CEO revealed that he has discussed the possibility already with the 28-year-old UFC champion.
“We’ve discussed it, and whenever she is ready to step into the ring as a boxer, then obviously Golden Boy Promotions will be right there with her,” said De La Hoya.
Indeed, Rousey is in good hands if she ties up with De La Hoya. The Golden Boy Promotions top brass has a proven track record and proof of such is the upcoming mega bout between his boy Canelo Alvarez against WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto on Nov. 21 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
For now though, all of those plans remain up in the air. A shift to boxing could happen if she does retire in two years’ time should she hold true on her plans to quit UFC fighting by the age of 30.
Until that, there is business to take care of and that is her upcoming title defense against challenger Holly Holm.
Rousey and Holm mix it up at UFC 193 this coming Nov. 15 at the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia.
