CARLA HOWE has hit back at boxing rival AJ Bunker and revealed she will be ring card girl for Floyd Mayweather’s next exhibition fight.
Howe was due to face the ex-Love Islander last weekend on a KSI-promoted MisFits show in Sheffield.
But the bout was called off after the ex-Playboy bunny suffered a cracked rib in sparring, later denying that she was afraid to take on Bunker.
Howe, 32, said on The Blue Tick show: “Obviously, to clear up the AJ rumours because for her to say that I p****d out is an absolute embarrassment.
“And she knows for a fact that that it’s not true and the people that I have sparred with at my gym, yeah they are a threat and every time I had to spar with the same girl I’d be like, ‘F***** hell.’
“That was a threat to me so there’s no way in hell that I would be scared of AJ, like get the f*** out of here. There’s no way.”

Howe revealed she sparred Bunker’s former opponent Elle Brooke, 24, in training.
She said: “(Elle) said she was really surprised by how good I was in the sparring.
“And my trainer that came with me as well, because sometimes I’m putting this into training but in the sparring that’s when you really know how you are.
“I would say I’m pretty good in the sparring and as much as I worry about the sparring, Elle’s trainer said I put on quite a good poker face.
