Meet OnlyFans and MMA star Sammy-Jo Luxton who’s set to make boxing debut on Floyd Mayweather undercard
MMA and OnlyFans star Sammy-Jo Luxton is set to make her boxing debut on Floyd Mayweather’s undercard this weekend.
Mayweather, 46, is taking on Geordie Shore’s Aaron Chalmers in an exhibition bout at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday.
But among those on the undercard is Muay Thai, MMA and boxing prospect Luxton, 23.
Earlier this month, she revealed she had signed with the Professional Fighter’s League in a bid to further a career in MMA.
Announcing the news, Luxton, who also has an OnlyFans account, said: “Best kept secret – I’ve signed to PFL! @PFLMMA.
“I’ve made the switch to MMA and I have been grinding away at @McrTopTeam. I will be making my debut in the smartcage later this year.
“Can’t wait to show the world what I’m made of ”.
The move into MMA comes after picking up a world silver medal in Muay Thai to go with her European and British titles.
But before her PFL debut, she is set to attempt a third discipline as she steps into the boxing ring at the O2.
Luxton, also known as the “Ghetto Cinderella”, will face another MMA star and boxing novice Hayley Barraclough, 32, on the Mayweather show.

And her mentality is something that will stand her in good stead as she eyes a winning start to her boxing journey.
Speaking to Sporting News, she said: “Everyone says I’m like a robot because I will get smacked silly and I’ll just keep walking forward.
“When I get hit, I’m not one of those people who’s like ‘oh, that hurt’ and then starts stepping back.
“I get angry and I want to hit you back twice as hard for hitting me like that.”
