There was a time when Holly Holm was regarded as one of the best female boxers in the world.

Holm, a former world champion, walked away from boxing in 2013, with a record of 33-2-3 and 9 knockouts.

From that point, Holm went all in with mixed martial arts and ultimately became one of the biggest female names in the world when she pulled off the impossible with a knockout of Ronda Rousey in a major upset in 2015.

Holm, at age 40, is still one of the biggest names in the UFC's roster. She returns to the ring for them on May 21.

However, Holm does have some interest in returning to the boxing ring one day.

Taylor's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has mentioned Holm as a potential opponent on more than one occasion. 

If Holm does return to boxing, she would love to face undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor, who last Saturday night won a tough ten round split decision over Amanda Serrano at New York's Madison Square Garden.

“You know, it’s hard for me to think past, you know, I’ve got my own fight MMA in front of me and my, my eyes are still on the UFC gold. But I will say this, if I was to go back to boxing, that would be the fight I would want. And it does intrigue me a lot. To the point where, before I was like, I’ll never box again. And I’m not saying that. And there’s a lot of people that have tried to transition back and forth, and nobody’s really been able to do it successfully. And that drives me, I want to show people, I was able to come to MMA from boxing, but I can also go back, and it does, like, get me excited,” Holm said on The MMA Hour.

“So my goals are on my fight right now and with MMA and all that, but I always say there has to be like short term and long term goals. You know, dreams that you see right away and then dreams that you see- you have to live for today. But you still have to dream for what you want the future or else you’ll never get anything done today. Right? You have to be working towards something. So yeah, I like to live for today. I’m in my training camp right now from May 21. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t think about like, ‘wow, this would be a great’ you know, thing to kind of pursue."
