      “Somebody like Anthony who is very athletic and has that great power, he could finish the fight with one punch.
      “And I think that’s what we’ll be seeing in his next fight.” More

      She has amassed a record of nine wins and one defeat since making her professional debut in 2019.
      Bridges juggled her job as a high school maths teacher during her first fights as a pro.
      Now, as a full-time boxer, she has a new side-hustle as she rakes in the cash on OnlyFans.
      Asked why she turned to OnlyFans, she told No Context Sport: “Well why not, for one? What’s the problem with women empowering themselves? Why’s there so much judgement?

      “I’ve always been a person who doesn’t really give a f*** what people think.
      “Why should I hold myself back and my success back or being able to gain generational wealth because someone’s going to think I’m a f***ing slut?
      “To be fair I know OnlyFans is ‘porn’, it was all about that but it’s actually not now. There’s so many athletes doing OnlyFans because it’s all about exclusive content.
      “The only reason I didn’t do it originally was because I was still school teaching. I’m never going to go back to the classroom.”

      Josh Warrington ready to take anger out at being beaten in parents’ race at school sports day on Brit rival Leigh Wood

      by

      And Warrington was late out of the traps again earlier this summer while representing twin daughters Eliza and Olivia at their sports day. 
      The Elland Road diehard challenges Nottingham Forest fan Wood in Sheffield on October 7 for his WBA crown — and only a burst out of the bell will be good enough.
      Wazza said: “I went into the Lopez fight after jaw surgery and I was just too worried about it getting whacked.
      “I finished well on top but it is one that will haunt me for ever.

      “My eye slipped off the ball again and I was rubbish out of the blocks.
      “It was a bit embarrassing but I am getting a bit used to that lately.”
      The only thing missing from Warrington’s CV — that includes career- defining wins over Lee Selby and Carl Frampton — is a bout in the USA where he can emulate his hero Ricky Hatton by taking thousands of fans on a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
      He added: “Some of the people who come to my fights were in Huddersfield and Bolton for four-round fights, at the end of the night when the cleaners were coming in.
      “I meet people who tell me they were in Vegas for Ricky’s biggest nights and that they were the best times of their lives.
      “And I have to reward these people for the time and money they have invested in me. I owe it to them and I will.” More

      Crawford’s career-best performance saw him become the first male boxer to become an undisputed champion in two different weight classes.
      And Ring Magazine have deemed his historic victory worthy of placing him at the top of their prestigious pound-for-pound rankings.

      But Brit heavyweight Frazer Clarke reckons The Predator could pull off a big upset if Fury is not carefulCredit: GETTY
      Fury, 34, is the overwhelming favourite to win the much-maligned Saudi showdown on account of the fact Ngannou has never boxed professionally.
      But Olympian Frazer Clarke reckons the MMA knockout artist can cause a stunning upset in Riyadh if Fury doesn’t take him seriously.
      He told The Metro: “Fury is such a big fighter and big personality, he has got the governing bodies wrapped up around his little finger.
      “He does what he wants and that is the reality of it. He is going to earn a lot of money and have a lot of eyes on him from all walks of life.

      “But boxing fans see straight through it.
      “Having said that, I wish him all the best and for God’s sake, don’t let Ngannou land a shot on your chin and put you to sleep because that would be catastrophic.
      “We all know he can punch and if you are fit and you can punch in heavyweight boxing, you have as good a chance as anyone because if you land that shot, it can be goodnight.
      “There has been lots of talk about levels in the sport and what level he it at having never done it professionally.

      “But he probably has more of a shot than a non-puncher at British level.”
      Fury’s clash with Ngannou will be a ten-round affair, but the Brit’s WBC heavyweight title will NOT be on the line.
      The fight will take place under Queensberry boxing rules, although it’s not yet known if the contest will count on both men’s records.
      Wythenshawe warrior Fury hasn’t set foot inside the ring since his one-sided trilogy fight with Derek Chisora last December.
      Ngannou, meanwhile, last fought in the octagon last January – defeating Ciryl Gane in what proved to be his final outing in the UFC. More

      The aim is to keep the ball airborne for as long as possible by punching it in a manner akin to doing keepy-uppies in football.
      The two were keen to point out that the challenge is not necessarily indicative of someone’s boxing ability before partaking in the challenge – but did say that it is a good way to test your reflexes.
      Paul and Nickal put down a $1000 charity bet, with the loser set to pay the amount to Paul’s foundation Boxing Bullies.
      Nickal managed to hit the ball eight times before dropping it, with Paul not able to watch in order to compare scores.

      Paul only managed to hit the ball six times, ensuring he lost the charity bet.
      But, both agreed that they would pay $1000 to the charity whose mission statement is to: “instil self confidence, leadership, and courage within the youth through the sport of boxing while using our platform, voice, and social media to fight back against bullying.”
      The podcast episode was the latest insight we’ve got into Paul as he prepares to fight UFC legend Nate Diaz in Vegas this weekend.
      Paul is in the surprising position of entering the fight as favourite – with Diaz not having a boxing background.
      Most read in Boxing
      This being despite Diaz being a legend of MMA and UFC and doing more than most to put the sport on the map.
      After the challenge the two discussed their philosophies as part of the Bo Gets Betr Podcast.
      Paul explained how his dad is key in helping him stay motivated and continue to improve on his boxing game.
      He said: “My dad says this and I’m going to steal this, shout out Greg Paul; ‘the road to success is always under construction so it’s always changing’ – some moments might be easier than others, some might be harder than others,”
      He then continued: “Some days you might not be feeling great and others you might be feeling like ‘why the f*** am I under attack from the Universe?’
      “And so you’re always going to be constantly changing and evolving but the No.1 thing is relentlessness. When you try to do something great, people are going to f***ing rip you down.
      “They’ll tear you apart, that just comes with the critics and that is the biggest thing.
      “You just have to have thick skin to push through all of that and remain committed to your goal and not let any of that get in your way – easier said than done, it kills most people. So are you made for this?

      “Do you want to achieve your goal more than you want to mope about the critics and all the hard work and all the things that you have to do to get to your goal?
      “That’s something that you have to come to terms with within your own mind and inspiration is a fleeting thing, it’s not always there.” More
