ASTRID WETT and Ebanie Bridges were involved in a bizarre row after England legend Jill Scott was called out for a fight.
Wett – an OnlyFans star-turned influencer boxer – wants to face Lionesses icon Scott on the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson undercard.
She posted on X: “I think it’s about time I put my gloves back on and call out Jill Scott.
“Now I know she’s a little bit taller than me but I’m sure we can make it work and this would definitely sell out an arena, and a big payday for Jill, too.”
YouTuber and 9-1 professional boxer Paul, 27, faces Tyson, 57, on July 20 in a controversial clash streamed on Netflix.
Former bantamweight world champ Bridges hijacked Wett’s callout of Scott to set out her own challenge.

The Aussie, 37, said: “Can I beat up @AstridWett on the undercard of @jakepaul vs @MikeTyson ?? I mean I’d enjoy it.”
Bridges is a close friend and training partner of Wett’s biggest rival Elle Brooke.
But still Wett, 23, responded: “Genuinely – who this?”
Bridges won the IBF title in 2022 but last year lost it to Miyo Yoshida.

So she was probed on why she decided to call out a TikToker with limited boxing experience.
And Bridges replied: “Same reason Jake Paul calls out real fighters – it’s called promo/marketing and getting people talking so thanks for your input as it all helps.
“Plus, I’d never say no to a very easy pay day… unfortunately Miyo has to fight her mandatory, so I ain’t about to wait around.
“I’ve done enough waiting the last two years – I want money and fights.”
Wett has a 3-0 boxing record with Misfits but last year walked out on the crossover promotion.
And retired footballer Scott, 37, did not respond to the fight challenge.
