    How YouTube star AnEsonGib went from ‘obese’ 17 STONE gamer to ‘seven-figure’ boxing paydays after body transformation

    YOUTUBER AnEsonGib went from overweight video gamer to receiving “seven-figure” paydays as a shredded boxer. The social media star – real name Ali Loui Al-Fakhari and nicknamed Gib – has been a pioneer of the celebrity-style crossover boxing bouts.YouTuber AnEsonGib went from overweight video gamer to boxerHe dramatically transformed his bodyCredit: @AnEsonGib

    Gib is 6-1 as a crossover boxing starCredit: @AnEsonGib
    He once weighed as much as 17 STONE and admits to being “obese” – but is now fighting fit both mentally and physically.Gib told SunSport: “Back then when I was fat, I thought I was hench! “I’d have my top off and think, ‘Yeah, the abs are underneath it, the abs are underneath it!”But I remember I went to the gym, I was weak. Just kept trying to keep training and training and training, but yeah, physically the change is nice.READ MORE IN BOXING”But it’s more up here that has changed the most, and that’s what I’m proudest of, the mentality change, not the physical change.”Gib now fights at the super-middleweight boxing limit of 12st following a stunning FIVE STONE body transformation.And he credits ditching fast food and hiring a diet specialist for his remarkable turnaround.

What am I eating in Qatar?”So right now, I’m thinking I wanna get to 100kg. I don’t care about this physique, I wanna get fat! “But in general, I kinda keep good, maybe 6 days a week, snacks here and there, but now I wanna go obese.

    Boxing legend Carl Froch makes bizarre claim Neil Armstrong’s moon landing was HOAX and gravity ‘has never been proven’

    EX-BOXER Carl Froch has stunningly claimed the moon landing was a HOAX in a bizarre conspiracy theory-filled interview.Conspiracy theorists have long debated the legitimacy of NASA’s Apollo 11 mission, in which Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to set foot on the moon in 1969.Man landed on the moon in 1969 thanks to the Apollo 11 missionCredit: ALAMYConspiracy theorists, however, have doubted the legitimacy of the landing – despite there being a further six successful missionsCredit: REXAnd former champion Carl Froch has revealed he’s among the moon landing doubtersCredit: GETTYAnd outspoken former WBC super-middleweight champ Froch is among the doubters, telling The Action Network: “Interestingly, we haven’t been to the moon since and we can’t get there.”Neil Armstrong was asked by somebody to place his hand on the Holy Bible and Neil Armstrong is a deeply religious man.”He was asked to place his hand on the Bible and to swear on the Holy Bible that he went and stepped foot on the moon.”He wouldn’t do it.READ MORE ON BOXING”And the guy said I will give you $5,000 in cash to a charity of your choice to place your hand on the Bible and tell us that you walked on the moon, and he wouldn’t do it.”Now, for $5,000 to your charity… you would just do it. “He’s religious, place your hand on the Bible, swear to God, and say you’ve been to the moon.”Neil Armstrong wouldn’t do it and you can find the video online.”Most read in BoxingBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSCarl Froch has wrongly claimed there have been no additional moon landingsCredit: REXFroch’s adamance that the historic event was a hoax is based on his belief there haven’t been any other missions to the moon – despite there being a further SIX trips to Earth’s sole satellite.He continued: “That’s one thing, not to mention the fact we haven’t been since.”The equipment they used to get up there was as powerful as a Zedec Spectrum to get up there, which probably wasn’t that powerful.”It was a computer when I was a kid. We can’t get there now, and I think everything we’ve been told about the moon landing (is made up).”Buzz Aldrin told a little girl that we’ve not been to the moon, and she said, ‘If we have been to the moon, why haven’t we been back?’”Buzz then said, ‘That’s not a question for a little girl (to ask). We didn’t go there because we can’t get there.'”Then people said Buzz was losing the plot but maybe he was losing the plot because he couldn’t live with a f***ing lie.”When you look at all of the evidence, all the footage, and the fact that they lost all of the telemetric data that tells you that they went to the moon then I would say that we did not go to the moon.”Man did not walk on the moon, that was a big f***ing lie. “NASA are funded by $63m per day and they tell us a lot of stories and a lot of things about black holes and distant galaxies.”Every picture we’ve seen of Planet Earth is a CGI image.”So, when I can see an image of the world in its entirety, I’ll start believing in Heliocentrism – Helio being the sun, centric being in the middle. I used to believe in the geocentric model.”Despite the overwhelming evidence, Carl Froch is convinced the moon landing was fakeCredit: GETTYEvolution doubtsThe universally accepted theory of evolution is something ‘The Cobra’ also has his doubts about, despite a litany of evidence proving Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace’s hypothesis to be true.”Evolution is a theory; the Big Bang is a theory,” he defiantly said. And the heliocentric model has never been proven.”There are three big things there and all three of them take you away from God.”So, if you read the Bible, the Book of Genesis, and believe in God then you can’t believe in the Big Bang because that’s a scientific theory that we came from a big explosion.”But if you believe in God, then you believe that God made the Earth and created the world. “If you believe in evolution, then you can’t believe in God or that God made Adam and Eve.”Carl Froch also isn’t a believer in the theory of evolutionCredit: GETTYGravity gripeFroch also questions the legitimacy of Sir Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity, despite it being proven trillions of times over the last 387 years.He said: “It’s difficult to believe the mainstream narrative which is the spinning globe theory. I’m very spiritual.”I’m not saying the Earth is flat, but I don’t believe we live on a spinning ball covered in water because if I get a ball and spin it around covered in water then all of the water flies off it.”How does water stick to Earth? “They say it’s gravity and holds everything to the Earth, so gravity has to be real but it’s a theory and has never been proven.”READ MORE SUN STORIES”I don’t believe a lot of the stuff I’m told about the heliocentric model, the sun being in the middle and we orbit around the sun.”The Big Bang theory, which is a theory, and also the theory of evolution that we came from apes.”Carl Froch is also a doubter of Sir Isaac Newton’s theory of gravityCredit: NATIONAL TRUST IMAGES More
