Potential Katie Taylor opponent Holly Holm films herself trying to shoot mouse in kitchen

Former UFC champion Holly Holm when to battle with a mouse in her own house over the weekend.

Holm shared a number of videos as she lied in wait for the mouse after setting a trap, but she missed with her shot and the mouse ran off.

She then revealed she had got a mouse trap off a neighbour and would keep her Instagram followers updated with what happened next.

The undisputed lightweight champion is expected to fight again before the end of 2022, but Amanda Serrano and Cris Cyborg seemingly won't take on Taylor until next year.

Holm fought 38 times as a professional boxer, winning 33 of those fights, drawing three and losing two, before switching to MMA and admits Taylor is the only fight she would move back to boxing for.

She said earlier this year: If I was going to go back to boxing that [Katie Taylor] would be the fight that I want and it does intrigue me, a lot.

“There’s a lot of people who’ve tried to transition back and forth and nobody has really been able to do it successfully – that drives me.

“I wanna show people I was able to come to MMA from boxing, but I can also go back. It does get me excited."
