WWE Superstars often receive opportunities to branch out and try their hand at other sports and forms of entertainment. MMA and boxing is also a possibility, and it looks like a real chance could be on the table for Dana Brooke.
Sean Sapp recently spoke to Dana Brooke for an interview, where she opened up a bit about the possibility of taking a leap into the boxing world. In notes posted on Fightful Select, the former WWE 24/7 Champion, who is dating MMA fighter Uly Diaz, has already trained in MMA as well. That being said, she’s beefing up her game with some jiu-jitsu, and boxing is also on her list.
Dana is engaged to MMA Fighter Uly Diaz, who has found great success. She’d told me years ago that she’d done a little MMA training. In talking with her, she said that she does a lot of jiu-jitsu training now, but boxing is on her bucket list. She tries to incorporate it into her training each week and has considered taking a boxing fight “soon.”
We also spoke to Dana about the 24/7 Title, and she admitted she was brokenhearted about the title going away, saying she put her heart and soul into it. She said that she made a lot of pitches for the 24/7 Title that didn’t happen. Specifically, she said that she pitched for the 24/7 Title to become a Women’s Intercontinental Title.

Only time will tell if Dana Brooke makes a transition into the boxing ring from the pro wrestling world. She is pretty determined, so odds are Dana Brooke will get it done if she puts her mind to it.
