Whether it's for the love of active competition or the allure of another big payday, influencer boxing continues to tempt former MMA stars out of retirement.

Earlier today, it was announced that two long-retired UFC legends are set to compete in an influencer boxing match sometime in 2025, over a decade since they first fought under the UFC banner.

15 years after locking horns in the UFC octagon, Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson and Rashad Evans have reportedly agreed to box each other in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 2025.

"BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! IT'S HAPPENING," read the Instagram post from promotion Influencer Crossover Series, in association with Signature Punch Boxing.

"The rivalry reignites in 2025 as two MMA legends step into the boxing ring! Rashad "Suga" Evans vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson -- a rematch over a decade in the making!"

The exact date and location for the event have not yet been officially announced, although it will take place in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2025.

"This is more than a fight; it's HISTORY. Witness the clash of two icons in a battle of skill, power, and legacy. Don't miss your chance to be part of the action! Stay tuned for venue announcements and PPV details... Trust us -- you won't want to miss this."

Jackson will be looking to get revenge for their 2010 fight in the UFC, which Evans won via a unanimous decision after a hilarious season of coaching against each other on The Ultimate Fighter.

Whilst influencer boxing continues to tempt former UFC superstars out of retirement, this particular boxing bout shouldn't necessarily come as a surprise, with both Evans and Jackson having teased that their rivalry was far from over for the better part of a year.

"I just didn't like him back in the day," Jackson explained in a prior interview with Demetrious Johnson, revealing how the pair were able to squash their beef after appearing alongside each other on a Hollywood movie set.

"The director of A-Team Joe Carnahan did another movie called Boss Level and he had a bright idea to make Rashad and I German twins. We were on set and at first, it was kind of tough but after a while we became cool, and we've been boys ever since but I feel like I still have that unfinished business with him.

"He said that he's down to fight me in a boxing match, I don't think he wants no more MMA because he knows I was going to put my foot through his ass in MMA, he just got lucky and beat me so he thinks he can outbox me, so hopefully one day that will happen."

Since hanging up the gloves, Jackson has found some major success with his podcast, JAXXON, alongside former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold.
