      While Elle has been sparing with Ebanie as she works her way into the boxing world.
      The pair have some interesting similarities as well as some striking differences in their lives and careers.
      Net Worth
      Ebanie only had her first professional boxing fight in 2019 after years competing at amateur level.
      But she has risen quickly through the ranks and secured the IBF title in 2022.

      The 36-year-old’s tremendous record is reflected by her rising fortunes out of the ring.
      She is estimated to have a net worth of up to £4million.

      Meanwhile Elle’s net worth is reported be as high as £2m.
      Her background is in social media with Elle becoming a viral TikTok sensation.
      Most read in Boxing
      The Surrey influencer is known for her raunchy content and has 2.2 million followers on TikTok.
      She also 686,000 Instagram followers, just short of Ebanie’s 731,000.
      Boxing Career
      In Ebanie’s ten fights, she won nine of them by knockout.
      The Blonde Bomber’s only loss was in 2021 to Shannon Courtenay but she has bounced back with four wins since.
      Her title win came via an emphatic victpry over Maria Cecilia Roman in Leeds last year.
      Elle is training with Ebanie as the TikToker tries to make it in boxing herself.

      The Australian has not pulled punches in sparring sessions as she looks to make Elle the star of the celebrity crossover boxing.
      And it is so far so good for Brooke who has a 2-0 record.
      The 25-year-old’s first victory came via a points win against Love Island star AJ Bunker last summer.
      She followed that up by stopping Tiktok rival Faith Ordway in January.
      Up next for her is influencer Ms. Ola Danielka on April 22 at Wembley Arena in the KingPyn High Stakes tournament.
      Ebanie does not currently have a date in the diary for her next fight but fans can reportedly expect her back in the ring in the autumn.
      She most recently beat Shannon O’Connell in December.
      Homes
      Ebanie gave fans a glimpse into her lavish house earlier this year as she showed off all it has to offer.
      Most eye-catching of all was her huge Steinhoven piano.
      That appeared to take up much of her living room while her belts and boxing memorabilia was present on shelves and on the walls.
      Her swanky pad also featured framed pics of scantily-clad women on the walls.

      Fans have had less of a insight into what exactly Elle’s home looks like.
      Her Instagram followers only get the occasional view through seeing the background of the model’s pictures.
      But Elle appears to have a spacious house with an impressive modern interior.
      Partners
      The rumour mill went into overdrive last year when Ebanie was pictured with Brit boxer Kell Brook.
      The pair were chatting at Anthony Joshua’s rematch with Olexandr Usyk.
      She even joked about having kids with the 36-year-old.
      Ebanie is not believed to be in a relationship but revealed last year that she had broken up with her boyfriend of ten years.
      Elle is also not reported to be dating anyone at the moment.
      She has previously joked about being with the “sexiest motherf***er” she had ever met in Liam Wilson, who is best known for being Jack Grealish’s look-alike.
      She has also revealed that 40-year-old actor Seth Rogen would be her “dream one night stand”.
      Instagram
      It is fair to say both Ebanie and Elle are very generous to fans when it comes to Instagram pics.
      The pair enjoy taking racy snaps which occasionally leave little to the imagination.
      They both attract plenty of Instagram comments from adoring followers.

      Anthony Joshua told he would be left a ‘bloody mess’ and knocked out by Joe Joyce AND Daniel Dubois in brutal interview

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has been warned he’d be left a “bloody mess” if he shared the ring with Joe Joyce or Daniel Dubois.Domestic dust-ups with the pair are very much on the horizon for the Watford warrior as he continues his career rebuild following back-to-back losses to pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk.

      Joshua was a shell of his former sell as he fought Jermaine Franklin to a scrappy points victory at the O2 last month.
      So much so that Queensbury Promotion’s Francis Warren reckons he’ll be battered if he shares the ring with Joyce.
      Francis – the son of veteran promoter Frank – told iFL TV: “Joe Joyce knocks Anthony Joshua out.
      “I think he stops him in a bloody mess.”

      Francis foresees the same outcoming happening if AJ ever dukes it out with Dubois.
      He continued: “And I think similar with Dubois.
      “I think anyone who hunts Anthony down, at the moment, I think they’re in for a good night.”
      Francis reckons AJ should avoid Joyce and Dubois and rematch long-time rival Dillian Whyte.

      He said: “I’d fight Dillian in the summer because I think that’s a win-win for him.”
      Joshua, 33, was expected to return to action in July but has since revealed he won’t be back in the ring until DECEMBER at the earliest.
      He said on Instagram: “My next fight is scheduled for December. Not ideal but everything is part of a bigger picture.”
      Promoter Eddie Hearn, however, insists “nothing is decided” with regards to AJ’s next outing.
      Hearn revealed earlier this month that he was hopeful the golden boy of British boxing would close out the year with two more fights.
      He told Boxing Social: “I would like to see [Joshua] have a little rest then get straight back to Texas with Derrick [James].
      “And try and have an end-of-summer fight and then try and fight in December.
      “It would be great for his career.” More

      Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz tale of the tape: How YouTube star and UFC icon compare ahead of huge boxing fight

      by

      JAKE PAUL returns to settle a score with Nate Diaz in his next fight. The YouTube star is coming off the first defeat in his seven-bout prizefighting career, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury in February.

      But Paul decided against invoking his rematch clause to instead welcome Diaz to the boxing ring on August 5 in Texas.
      The bad blood has been brewing and will come to a head in Dallas, as SunSport runs down how the rivals compare.
      Diaz, 37, spent 15 years in the UFC, becoming a beloved cult hero alongside his brother Nick, 39.
      He shot to fame following his March 2016 upset over Conor McGregor but went on to lose the thrilling rematch five months later.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      A trilogy with McGregor, 34, has failed to materialise and Diaz walked out on the UFC last year when his contract expired.
      He crosses over to boxing with a storied 35 MMA bouts, winning 22 and losing 13, with 18 combined stoppages in the cage.
      Diaz is a jujitsu specialist with a boxing base, having sparred American legend Andre Ward during his prime.
      Paul, 26, meanwhile is still a relative novice, having only made his professional debut in 2020 following one exhibition win.
      Most read in Boxing

      But during that three-year period, he racked up six wins, four by knockout, while facing three ex-MMA champions.
      Paul KO’d Ben Askren, 38, in April 2021, before twice beating former UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley, 40, that year.
      He outpointed Woodley and won the rematch by KO while a year later bettering UFC icon Anderson Silva, 47, over eight rounds.
      But when stepping up against a recognised boxer for the first time in Fury, 23, Paul was beaten on points in Saudi Arabia.
      He had the option for a rematch or a bitter grudge match against online rival KSI, 29, but Diaz was instead selected.
      Diaz was at Paul’s October 2022 win over Silva and their opposing teams clashed backstage.
      A war of words had ensued both before and after the incident, leading to an expected score-settling showdown.

      Nate Diaz beat Tony Ferguson in his final UFC fightCredit: GETTY
      Paul is one inch taller than Diaz at 6ft 1in, and will take a natural size advanatage into the fight.
      He weighed a career-lowest (13st 1lb) before losing to Fury, having largely boxed at 190lb.
      Meanwhile, Diaz fought most of his UFC career in the 155lb lightweight division (11st).
      But he finished his career at 170lb (12st 1lb) as a welterweight, including his finale win against Tony Ferguson, 39.
      Paul will meet Diaz at a 185lb catchweight, over eight rounds.
      He has gone that distance three times before, against Woodley, Silva and Fury, losing just the once.
      Diaz, known for his conditioning, only went the full five-round UFC distance three times during his career.
      Read More on The Sun
      And with only five KOs to his name, Paul will be the bigger puncher of the two.
      Diaz is by far the more experienced fighter, but Paul’s prior wins over MMA stars show it can matter little when the cage is swapped for the ring.

      Oleksandr Usyk claims he could have KOd Anthony Joshua in either of their fights but reveals reason why he didn’t

      by

      OLEKSANDR USYK has revealed he opted NOT to knock out Anthony Joshua in their back-to-back fights.The pound-for-pound king claimed and defended the unified heavyweight titles against AJ in their Tottenham tussle in September 2021 and their Saudi showdown last August.

      Undefeated Ukrainian Usyk hurt Joshua in the 12th round of their first clash and did so again in the tenth of their rematch – although he decided against shutting the Brit’s lights out.
      When asked why he didn’t go in for the kill, the slick southpaw asked: “Why are you so bloodthirsty?
      “There is victory, everything is fine. Why is it necessary for a person to fall?”
      Usyk, 36, didn’t want to put Joshua on the canvas in front of his loved ones – in particular his mum and dad.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      He continued: “He has a mother and father. This is a big chunk of health if a person falls. I’m not for that.”
      Victory in his rematch with Joshua set Uysk up for a blockbuster undisputed heavyweight title fight with Tyson Fury.
      But the mouthwatering showdown collapsed last month after Team Usyk got tired of Fury moving goalposts after agreeing to a 70-30 split in favour of The Gypsy King.
      Usyk said: “I see that nothing is going on, he is trying to play us, and I said, ‘That’s all, bye.’

      “He says, ’70/30, I am the king. It’s all thanks to me.’
      “I don’t respond to that. I understand that this is a mental game.
      “The king is the king. And the king does not need to shout that he is the king.”
      He added: “He is trying very hard to copy the great Muhammad Ali, but the copy is very bad.”
      Usyk is now on course to lock horns with the mandatory challenger for his WBA heavyweight title – Daniel Dubois – in the summer.
      He said of the fight: “I will go to Britain, I love it very much. My first big achievements were in Britain.
      “Then Anthony Joshua. I like this place, I like the fans, the people.” More

      Anthony Joshua ‘in line to fight Deontay Wilder with Tyson Fury facing Oleksandr Usyk in stunning four-man tournament’

      by

      BOXING could be braced for a stunning four-man heavyweight tournament in Saudi Arabia if shock rumours are to be believed. TalkSPORT’s outspoken sports pundit Simon Jordan claimed Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury would be involved.

      It would see AJ fight Wilder with Fury against Usyk, both in December, allowing the winners to meet in a final.
      It comes after Joshua revealed he would not be back in the ring until December, for a reason soon to be revealed.
      Jordan said: “There’s a lingering observation and, I suppose rumour, that’s seeded I think in some substance – that there is a series of fights being arranged in the Middle East that involve Fury, Usyk, Joshua and Wilder.
      “Three fights being made which is Fury vs Usyk, Wilder vs Joshua and the two winners of those fights meeting again in the Middle East for the ultimate showdown.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “That would align with the dynamic of the reasons why Anthony Joshua isn’t fighting until December.”
      Joshua, 33, beat Jermaine Franklin, 29, on points over 12 rounds in his return fight at the start of April.
      And Eddie Hearn wanted it to be the first of three as part of an active 2023 for AJ.
      But Joshua days later posted on Instagram: “My next fight is scheduled for December.

      “Not ideal but everything is part of a bigger picture.”
      Wilder, 37, meanwhile has been out since October when he knocked out Robert Helenius in round one of his comeback bout.
      The American is now back training and was in talks for a crossover fight with ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
      Fury, 34, has also now been left without an opponent after his deal to unify all four belts with Usyk, 36, collapsed.
      Terms were scrapped amid a row over financials for a potential rematch, leaving both in the lurch.
      Usyk has since been ordered into a mandatory WBA title defence against Daniel Dubois, 25, with talks ongoing.
      But Fury is left to seal a return fight in the summer, which promoter Bob Arum revealed could be against Andy Ruiz Jr, 33.
      If all goes to plan, it would allow them to re-visit the undisputed decider with Usyk at the end of the year in the Middle East.

      Jordan said: “The second part of this equation that I’m understanding is potentially in the offing is that Fury needs to fight.
      “He won’t have fought since December, he can’t be out for a year.”

      Fans of Payne and former Love Islander Fury couldn’t believe their eyes as the duo teased a shock bout.
      But their shock celeb dust-up was called off on Thursday live on Good Morning Britain, where it was revealed the pair will go after one another on the pitch in Soccer Aid 2023 on June 11.
      Fury confirmed he will be part of the World XI in the latest celebrity fundraising match, the profits of which help struggling children around the world.
      TNT said: “I’m taking off my boxing gloves and lacing up my football boots.”
      He added: “The big match is taking place at Old Trafford, Manchester.
      “I’ll see you there.”

      Payne said: “Hey, GMB. After losing last year, I had to come back for Soccer Aid for UNICEF and have one more crack at winning that trophy.”

      The image included both celebs with two captions, saying the fight will take place “This Summer” and that there will be an “announcement tomorrow”.
      The ex-One Direction star remained tight-lipped on the details, captioning the post with an ‘eyes’ emoji.
      The singer is a big boxing fan and has spoken about fighting the likes of KSI and even Justin Bieber in the past.
      Should the pair go face to face, Fury obviously has the advantage as he is an experienced and undefeated boxer who has won all of his nine fights.

      Tyson Fury’s brother is also younger, heavier and taller than Payne, who has never boxed professionally before.
      The artist surpasses the British bruiser in terms of net worth and Instagram followers.

      However, the 1D celebrity is still very keen to try his luck in the squared circle.
