    A fellow follower said: “Stunning golden tan.”
    And another wrote: “Awww, Oh my God, you look amazing and beautiful. You charm the world with such beauty.”
    These photos come after Apollonia had revealed that she has been hit with a TikTok livestreaming ban after alleged “nudity and body exposure” violations during a live video on Thursday.
    Speaking to the Daily Star, Apollonia said: “I was wearing a white T-shirt that covered everything with no cleavage on show. It is absolutely ridiculous.
    “There was no warning, no nothing. I don’t know where the nudity has come from.
    “When it happened I was just so confused and didn’t really understand what was going on and when I clicked on it and it said I had been banned.
    “I was shocked because I haven’t done anything wrong. I would understand if I was sitting there in a bikini or whatever but that definitely wasn’t the case.
    “I was just getting my make-up done and answering questions, nothing like what they are thinking I have done.
    “It is just so frustrating because I was just sitting there in a T-shirt and I could understand it if I was exposed but I was literally completely covered.”

    Deontay Wilder’s coach fears Anthony Joshua ‘may not make it to December’ and could scupper huge fight

    Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott is concerned the fight won’t happen if AJ steps into the ring before the big-money showdown in the Middle East.
    Rumours suggest that he could meet Dillian Whyte in a rematch of the 2015 clash this summer.
    And Scott thinks he could get beaten, which would scupper the idea for him facing Wilder.
    He said to Betway: “This is going to sound bad but I don’t care. If a C+ fighter that really believes in himself is against Joshua, he has a very good chance at beating AJ.

    “You could be a C+ guy, but if you really believe, and you train hard, and you work hard, and you take advantage of the loopholes of AJ you could beat him.
    “I’m not afraid of him fighting, but let’s say I don’t agree with AJ having an interim fight.
    “I want us to be next to knock out Anthony Joshua.
    “The way that he’s looking now, he may not make it to December.

    “There’s just no telling. But we’ll see, he’s with Derrick James now, one of the best trainers in the game.”
    Discussions continue over Wilder’s bout with Joshua, as confirmed by Scott.
    He said: “Without going into too much detail about the business aspect of it, everything’s been said, talked about, negotiated, but nothing’s been signed,
    “But signing is almost upon us. But the negotiations definitely are happening. The moves are being made.
    “The business aspect is definitely being taken care of, and most of all Deontay Wilder is being taken care of and is going to get paid very well for his services, and that’s the most important part to me.”
    Meanwhile, Dominic Ingle, son of legendary trainer Brendan, can’t see AJ doing the Bronze Bomber any damage.
    He told Boxing King Media: “The way Wilder is, he’s reckless when he fights – and Anthony Joshua isn’t.
    “He’s got the reach, he’ll throw caution to the wind, he’s got the power and he’ll get off the floor and he’ll fight.
    “I think it’d be a very difficult job for Joshua to beat Wilder, very difficult. I don’t think he has the ability to.” More

    The five-weight ex-world champ was a picture of grace as he weaved around, even continuing to punch effortlessly when he looked away to the camera.
    Mayweather last fought professionally in beating UFC icon Conor McGregor in 2017.
    But he showed again how he’s able to look untarnished in exhibition bouts as he bobbed and swayed smoothly.
    One amazed fan posted: “This. Is. Awesome.”

    And there was a clear feeling that, even in middle age, this was timeless magic.
    One viewer stated: “An excellent fighter who’s clearly kept himself in shape. One of the best to ever do it.”
    Mayweather still rakes in the cash with exhibition contests against stars from the worlds of martial arts and social media.
    And McGregor is keen for a re-match despite his tenth-round stoppage-defeat six years ago.
    He told Inside Fighting: “I’ve had a long time to analyse it, happy with how it went the last time. I’d for sure look to (KO Mayweather).”
    The Irishman would have to get near Mayweather to do that.
    And on the latest video evidence from the Pretty Boy, that’s wishful thinking. More

    I was an Olympic sprinter but my career unravelled when a friend used my flat as a crack cocaine lab – he betrayed me

    A FORMER Olympic sprinter has revealed how his career unravelled when a friend used his flat as a cocaine lab.Leon Reid, 28, said he felt deceived and betrayed by pal Romaine Hyman, 31, after being sentenced following a drugs bust.

    The former athletics star once competed at the Tokyo Olympics
    The talented sportsman once represented Ireland at the 2021 Olympic games, reaching the semi-finals of the 200m.
    But he was given a suspended sentence in February last year after being found guilty of allowing his flat to be used for the production of crack cocaine.
    Speaking out about his ordeal, Reid told Sky News: “I put my trust in someone and an old training partner, an old friend.
    “I feel like I’ve got really taken advantage of, especially when I was at the height of my career.”

    Running for Northern Ireland, his major event debut came in 2018 where he scooped Bronze at the Commonwealth Games.
    By 2020 he was preparing for the Olympics in Tokyo but had to change his routine after he was delayed by the pandemic.
    Lockdown saw him come back to England, returning to a flat in Bristol that he was subletting to a friend.
    Reid maintains while he was out training, Romaine was using the flat to produce crack cocaine.

    And he insists that the first he knew about it was when cops arrived.
    In May 2020, Reid was arrested as part of an operation led by the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit, taking down an encrypted communications service.
    The former Olympic star said: “It’s obviously really upsetting.
    “It’s been everything I’ve tried to get away from my whole life (drugs) and getting put back into that sort of that circle, it was just nothing that I had ever dreamed that I’d ever be involved in, ever.”
    While awaiting trial, he was still able to go to the Olympics – after appealing against an Irish deselection decision – and made the 200m semi-finals in Tokyo in 2021.
    But his trial last year saw a conviction for allowing his flat to be used for the production of cocaine and receiving payment, which text messages showed to be £500.
    Reid was ordered to carry out community service while Hyman was jailed for 26 years after being found guilty of 18 offences in the crackdown on his attempt to build a drugs empire.
    “I was there training for the Olympics. I was at the peak of my career,” Reid recalled.
    “I wasn’t really focused on my friend. He was doing his work-out in the apartment, which obviously he said it was forex trading and things like that, which I’ve got no interest in.”
    And Reid said his one-time friend was “making sure I was out of the apartment” before cooking drugs.
    ‘DESTROYED MY CAREER’
    He continued: “I was on a WADA drug list, so even if I touched a door handle that did have traces of drugs on, I would get a positive drug test and I would fail that, and I would lose my career. So I was in no position to risk that on any scale.”
    Reid maintains he was “too nonchalant about the whole situation” while doing a favour for a friend, insisting: “I didn’t need the money.”
    He had gained status, sponsors and success which all abandoned him after his conviction.
    A return to the Commonwealth Games was also blocked last year when he was deemed a security risk by Birmingham organisers.
    A regretful Reid said: “It destroyed my career. And also my reputation.”
    Now, he hopes to use his misfortune to help those still in professional sport by forming a mentoring business.

    “I fought my demons of the past two years,” Reid says.
    “I’ve had the no sleep nights and the cry myself to sleep. But now I’m looking forward to the future.”

    It represented one of the biggest wins of Cameron’s career thus far, and saw her retain her undisputed super-lightweight titles in the process.
    Naturally, she was in a hugely celebratory mood when she sat down for the post-fight press conference, and had a beer in tow.
    That is not to say that she did not bear the damage from what was a white-knuckle war between the two former amateur rivals.
    Cameron had been cut on the forehead in the seventh round from what she claimed to have been clashes of heads.

    While it had stopped bleeding by the time of the press conference, the presence of the cut remained in the form of a welt, while her face was covered in bruises and swelling in places.
    Speaking after her momentous win, Cameron acknowledged she was still very nervous about the prospect of Taylor getting a hometown decision when it went to the scorecards.
    Cameron remarked: “I was petrified, I have seen it before, I thought I’m not going to get the decision. Katie is a great fighter, but I turned up to the occasion.
    “I don’t mind getting hit, it’s one of them where they let me off the leash.

    “She is so fast, rapid, tough, I thought maybe I have nicked some rounds there.”
    Meanwhile, Taylor, who could hardly fight back the tears as her record was changed to 22-1, paid tribute to the victor before insisting a rematch would come.
    She said: “It was obviously very close, it’s not how I wanted my homecoming to go, I am just grateful for all the support, thank you very much.
    “Congrats to Chantelle, thanks for the opportunity to fight for your belts, and I look forward to the rematch.
    “I wouldn’t say I was surprised how fast she was, it was a tough battle, I just came up short tonight, I look forward to when we face each other again.” More

    And he was spotted enjoying the action alongside Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn from the front row throughout the night.
    But both he and the raucous home crowd were left deflated as Taylor fought on home soil for the first time in her professional career.
    And she did so in a scintillating affair with Cameron, which was end-to-end action from the bell.
    But after ten thrilling rounds, two judges scored in favour of Cameron, with one failing to separate the pair.

    It meant Taylor, who moved up to super-lightweight, tasted defeat for the first time in her career.  
    Footage has now emerged of McGregor reacting to the result and as the words “and still” were read out to confirm Cameron’s triumph, the UFC star was seen slumping and putting his hands on his head next to the ring.
    However, he soon regained his composure to go and console Taylor before then telling reporters: “Great fight, close fight, I had it a draw.”
    McGregor was then asked if he wanted to see the rematch at Croke Park, which he replied: “Yeah, yes I f***ing would.

    “She went up in weight at the drop of a hat. She was scheduled for one different style of opponent at a specific weight and that fell through.
    “So last minute what does Katie do? The warrior that’s in her? She gave me something to aspire to!
    “She wanted to go up in weight and fight the champion in the heavier weight at the drop of a hat.
    “Give her a chance to do it at Croke Park, for sure Croke Park is on.
    “It was a close bout, the size was prevalent but Katie is a tactician, give Katie another bash at that.”
    And when asked what message he had for his compatriot, McGregor added: “Keep your head up, you’re the champion, you’re the Olympic champion and you’re the world champion still in your division.”
