      Elle Brooke knocked out AJ Bunker with a right hand

      So they put bragging rights on the line as well as Bunker’s middleweight belt at Misfits 12.
      And it ended in beautiful violence in round three after a right hand closed the show in savage style.
      After all the back and forth between the two, they shared a hug after it was all said and done.
      And Brooke insisted the difference was dropping from 14oz to 10oz and aimed a dig at old rival Astrid Wett, who walked out on Misfits exit.

      She said: “Listen, these 10oz gloves are very dangerous. “I had the 14oz in her first fight and now I’ve come down weight I’m a lot stronger.
      “Why is there nobody in the ring offering me out? Mams [Taylor] where is the next person?
      “Am I now the queen of Misfits now that Astrid [Wett] has left?”
      The grudge match was largely dull and uneventful for the opening three rounds, with Brooke even docked a point for holding.

      But in the third, she set up a stunning right hand that sat Bunker down.
      The brave ex-Love Islander made it to her feet but the referee rightfully waved off the contest.
      Brooke admitted she would have hung up her gloves had she lost – but instead committed her future to Misfits Boxing.
      She said: “I just perform best on Misfits, I think this was just big fat karma for ever leaving. I was definitely going to quit if I lost this, so it’s a sign.” More

      The super-fit reality TV legend has been teasing a switch to boxing in a series of cryptic social media posts.
      But now SunSport can confirm Essex has been in talks with KSI’s manager and co-founder of Misfits Boxing, Mams Taylor.
      Taylor said: “He’s got family background in boxing so I think he’s excited to get in the ring and we’re excited to have him. 
      “Joey’s going to be very committed, we’ve spoken daily for the last few days and he’s really on it.”

      Ever since launching in the summer of 2022, Misfits has been the home to crossover and celebrity-style fights.
      So Essex – who first shot to fame on ITV’s hit show TOWIE – will have no shortage of famous opponents lining up to face him.
      Taylor said: “I’ve got a list for him and we’re going to go through it and figure it out.” 
      Essex, 33, was quick to call out YouTuber-turned boxer KSI, 30, but Taylor insisted the fight is not yet on the horizon.

      He said: “No disrespect to Joey Essex but I don’t think it would be fair to him to make his debut against KSI and I don’t think it would be right for KSI to go from Tommy Fury to Joey Essex. 
      “If Joey builds up, has a good few fights and develops a lot of skill and it will be a fair fight and a challenge for both of them, then anything is possible down the line. But for now, that’s not the fight.” 
      Essex insisted he would “WALLOP” KSI and claimed there is friction between the pair.
      And Taylor added: “I think there’s an underlying little tension there between them. 
      “I don’t think resolving it in the ring is the right thing to do now for Joey, I don’t think it’s right for KSI either. 
      ‘But down the line let’s see what happens, watch that space.
      “I don’t know why they have any rivalry or beef but it’s interesting. Sometimes these things develop on their own.” More

      And Bridges would go onto corner the social media star while helping her in training and sparring.
      The two have even shot racy content together on OnlyFans but Bridges has now switched to Dave Coldwell’s gym in Rotherham.
      Brooke, 26, told SunSport: “She’s still my mentor, 100 per cent. 
      “I don’t see her as much, obviously she was training for her fight and she’s up North now so we’re separated.

      “If she was round the corner we’d see each other all the time but we’re still such good friends, we’re like sisters. 
      “She’s less involved with the boxing now but she’s always there for me mentally and she’s honestly the biggest and the best hype woman in the world. I can always go to her for advice.” 
      Brooke bravely opened up on how a party lifestyle drove her to drugs and depression – before boxing helped turn her life around.
      The sport also introduced her to soul sister Bridges and the rest of Tibbs’ stable.

      She said: “If it wasn’t for boxing I would’ve never have met her.
      “I would never have moved to Essex, I would never have met Ebanie, never have met some of the boys in the gym. 
      “And because I don’t go out on the weekends, they’re the ones I rely one for company a lot of the time. My life revolves around boxing now.” 
      Brooke makes her return in Leeds on Misfits 12 against ex-Love Islander AJ Bunker, who she beat in 2022.
      The bad blood has since brewed so bragging rights will also be on the line as well as Bunker’s Misfits belt.
      Brooke said: “We know of each other now. When we first fought it was just someone else in the influencer scene to take on that fight. 
      “Whereas now she’s champ, I’ve already beat her and it’s her opportunity for redemption, my opportunity to win the belt and that’s the story. 
      “We also aren’t that fond of each other, so it’s got great ingredients for a good fight.”

      Staggering sum Anthony Joshua earned per DAY last year revealed as boxing champ’s fortune hits £180 million

      by

      Joshua, 34 – who has previously said he wants to be a billionaire – saw the huge turnover in his Sparta Promotions company.
      The firm, which channels AJ’s boxing and sponsorship earnings, was worth £129 million at the end of the accounting period in March 2023.
      But the figures do not include Joshua’s earnings from his last two fights – which saw him beat Otto Wallin in Saudi Arabia in October and Robert Helenius in London last August.
      And Joshua’s fortune is set to soar further, after he agreed to fight former UFC champ Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia in March.

      It has been reported that ‘AJ’ – known as one of sport’s most marketable stars – will bank £31 million for the bout.
      The new accounts, which Joshua signed himself in December, show that Sparta had a turnover of £41.3 million. That works out at £113,000 per day.
      It turned a profit of £35.9 million – or £98,356 per day.
      The firm’s turnover included £28.3 million from boxing bouts, plus £13 million from outside the ring activities. 
      Most read in Boxing
      Joshua works with brands including fashion giant Hugo Boss, Jaguar Land Rover and sports firm Under Armour.
      Sparta returned a smaller profit – of £16.1 million – in the year to March, 2022 and generated £20.2 million worth of business.
      Its latest accounts highlight the cash AJ earned from his second defeat to Ukranian boxer Oleksandr Usyk, in Saudi Arabia in June 2022.
      They say: “All divisions showed a significant increase in turnover in 2023, compared to 2022.
      “The bouts division increased due to a territory-specific opportunity for a rematch of a highly anticipated fight.
      “On the back of the rematch, sponsorship income also rose due to the publicity the fight attracted.” 
      The paperwork – filed at Companies House yesterday – reveals AJ earned £6.3 million in wages, which he took from the firm via a dividend.
      The net worth of the company stood at £129 million at the time of the accounts. 
      On top of his boxing millions, AJ has a property empire with a growing portfolio of homes.
      His company 258 Commercial Investments holds £26.5 million and 258 Investments is sitting on £12.3 million.
      AJ also sitting on £9 million in current assets at dormant business 258 Equity – giving a total of £176.8 million in all three companies.
      A source said: “Anthony is a shrewd guy, and these accounts reflect that. He has come from humble roots so knows the value of everything, and has a keen eye for business.
      “AJ wants to secure the future for his family, and works as hard out of the ring as he does in it.”
      Joshua – who has an eight-year-old son by ex Nicole Osbourne – has always been open about his desire to make money.
      In a 2017 interview with GQ, he said: “When I first started, the aim was to become a multimillionaire.
      “But now there are ordinary people worth millions just because of property prices.
      “So the new school of thought is that I need to be a billionaire.

      “Being a millionaire is good, but you have to set your sights higher.”
      The star – who has cars including a Rolls Royce Phantom, Mercedes v8 and Audi A3 S-Line – is known to have bought his beloved Mum, Yeta, a north London home and a Rover.
