Molly Qerim enthusiasts are in for a treat this Friday. After her exit from ESPN last September, she's set to return to the limelight as part of a major boxing event broadcast on [Paramount+](https://www.instagram.com/p/DJClQPtxUJU/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm;_medium=loading) in Las Vegas. This marks her debut with Zuffa Boxing, known for its strategic partnership with TKO and Sela, which is backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
Stepping into her new role, Qerim's comeback signals her renewed passion for sports commentary outside the confines of ESPN. She left due to misalignment with the network, according to Burke Magnus, ESPN's president of content. Now, at Zuffa Boxing, she aims to carve out her path in an even broader arena.
Qerim won't be alone in her return to television. Joining her at the analyst desk will be some prominent figures: former Light Heavyweight Champion Antonio Tarver, and veteran reporters Mike Coppinger and Mark Kriegel. Their insights are sure to enrich the broadcast significantly.
Additionally, fans will witness a professional reunion between Qerim and Max Kellerman during this event. The two have a long history from their time together on "First Take." Kellerman will join Joe Tessitore and Andre Ward on commentary duties to complete the team at ringside.
Zuffa Boxing's collaboration with TKO and Sela roots itself deeply in the global investment scene, offering boxing as an elite media property. This partnership adds another layer of intrigue to Qerim’s fresh venture into presenting boxing events.
With her charismatic presence front and center again and flanked by seasoned sports personalities, Molly Qerim is poised for yet another memorable chapter in her career journey. Those tuning in won’t want to miss this dynamic blend of talent and expertise lighting up the boxing ring on Friday.
