    Wett’s X-rated content has been put on the back burner as of late as she’s been focused on improving her skills inside the ring.
    The 23-year-old has gone 2-0, picking up the second win of her exhibition career against Love Island star AJ Buker earlier this month.
    After her victory, a battered and bruised Wett said: “It was tougher than I thought.

    “Fair play to AJ, she brought it.
    “I was very confident. I trained so hard for this and was so well-conditioned.
    “I’m very proud of myself.
    “If AJ wants to prove she’s on my level – she was very close – I’m more than happy for a rematch.
    “I’m looking forward not backwards.”
    Wett is hoping to get back in the ring in the coming months and has targeted a clash with fellow OnlyFans star-turned-boxer Elle Brooke.

    Jake Paul slams ‘insecure’ KSI after broadcaster Wade Plemons is SACKED from Misfits Boxing amid row over YouTube video

    JAKE PAUL slammed KSI as “insecure” after broadcaster Wade Plemons was SACKED from Misfits Boxing amid a furious row. Plemons, a popular YouTuber and presenter in the influencer boxing space, made a video titled “KSI vs Jake Paul.. Is NOT Happening.”

    The content creator predicted, with Paul having lost to Tommy Fury, a rematch is likely to follow.
    And he questioned whether that bout, and a fight with Floyd Mayweather, would sell more pay-per-views than the KSI fight.
    It appeared to strike a nerve with KSI, who went on a furious rampage on Twitter.
    He posted: “Man, f*** Wade.

    “This Wade guy plays all sides. Trying to please everyone. You are so fake, omg. F*** you and everything you stand for, you two-faced c***.
    “This man acts like he knows everything about boxing. He doesn’t know s***. You’re not that guy.”
    Plemons has regularly featured on DAZN covering KSI’s Misfits Boxing events as an interviewer, broadcaster and commentator.
    But KSI’s manager Mams Taylor, who co-owns Misfists, appeared to sack the American live on a Twitter Space.

    Taylor remarked: “Have fun on KingPyn.” In reference to a rival crossover boxing promotion.
    The music mogul confirmed Plemons’ sacking in a statement to Fred Beck , in which he said: “It wasn’t over today he got fired.
    “It’s been long coming. I’ve been nothing but fair with Wade. People can have the wrong impression of me, I don’t care.
    “But they know JJ better than that. Obviously, there is more to it than just today’s video. A lot more.
    “DAZN didn’t know anything about Wade before I insisted he would be brought in.”
    It did not take long for Paul to interject in the feud – which he is partially involved in – to back Plemons.
    He tweeted: “Such insecure clowns. Wade is quality. Plays it down the middle.
    “Says things about me I don’t like, but that just means he’s keeping his opinions real. Now back to my vacation.”
    Such insecure clowns. Wade is quality. Plays it down the middle. Says things about me I don’t like, but that just means he’s keeping his opinions real. Jake Paul on KSI
    Plemons said in response: “We don’t see eye to eye on much of anything but I respect and appreciate this. Thanks man.”
    KSI also denied that his anger came from a single video and pointed towards Plemons’ criticism of Misfits’ tag-team boxing match.
    He tweeted: “The initial hatred towards the tag team boxing that he put out publicly but privately loved the idea.
    “He literally just says and does what the public want to hear. While privately trying to please everyone.
    “I’m done with it. Be your true self publicly and privately towards me.”
    But Plemons hit back: “My opinions around the tag team idea was never “Hate” I had concerns over it’s safety and ruleset, and I needed to see it happen.
    “When I saw it I GLADLY found that those precautious were taken. I’m not sure where JJ is getting this but “behind the scenes” I said the same thing.”
    Plemons received public backing from fans, who criticised his dismissal from Misfits events.
    KSI later deleted his rant but followed up with: “To you it’s an overreaction but to me it’s a build up of a lot of things behind the scenes.
    “You can have a public opinion but don’t come to me on a switch up when you see me in person.
    “Sorry for my outburst but I’m human, I’m gonna get angry sometimes.”

    And Plemons replied: “I understand I ruffle some feathers at misfits with my takes on things, but I don’t and have never switched up on you in person or online.
    “My opinions of a potential fight don’t reflect my opinion of you as a person or a fighter. I’ve always respected you as both.”

    Anthony Joshua was TRICKED into fighting Oleksandr Usyk after Ukrainian held back against Derek Chisora, claims Froch

    OLEKSANDR USYK tricked Anthony Joshua into fighting him by holding back against Derek Chisora, claimed Carl Froch. Usyk was taken all the way to a close points decision on the scorecards by Chisora in October 2020.

    The Ukrainian maintained his mandatory title shot at Anthony Joshua’s belts but raised questions over his ability at heavyweight.
    Two years later and Usyk twice beat Joshua, leaving Froch to believe the ex-cruiserweight king pulled a fast one.
    He said on his YouTube channel: “That night against Chisora, he just took his time. He was playing mind games with the opponents.
    “He knew Anthony Joshua was watching that, and he was thinking to himself, ‘If I show all my toolbox in this first heavyweight fight, I’m going to scare him off.’

    “So I think he never got out of second gear with Chisora. I’m not taking anything away from Chisora.
    “Chisora will go in there with anyone, he’s lost more than he’s won at world title level but he gives them a hard fight and he certainly gave Usyk a hard night.
    “But I think Usyk took his time, just used his jab, moved around, didn’t really get out of second gear, certainly didn’t get anything past third gear and got the comfortable win on points.
    “And I think AJ would’ve looked at that and thought, ‘I can beat this guy; he’s struggling up at heavyweight.’

    “Obviously, he took the fight AJ did and Usyk outclassed him and became unified champion.”
    Joshua, 33, now returns on April 1 against Jermaine Franklin, 29, following his consecutive losses.
    And Usyk, 36, is in talks to unify the heavyweight belts against Tyson Fury, 34, on April 29 at Wembley.
    Although Froch fears the clock is ticking to ensure the first ever four-belt undisputed fight stays on track.
    He said: “I do think it will happen, but my main concern is the six week time constraint. It’s not long for a world title fight to happen.
    “But if it doesn’t happen now, it’s on Tyson Fury and I think it looks terrible for him.
    “Remember Tyson Fury on the build up to the AJ fight? He was saying he’d fight Joshua for free and give the money to charity.
    “Now all of a sudden the Usyk fight’s happening and he’s demanding 70 per cent of the purse.

    “Sometimes I think to myself he can be a bit of a walking contradiction at times.

    TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk have been given an extension to sign off on their undisputed title fight for April 29. The pair of unbeaten champions publicly agreed a split to unify all four heavyweight belts but privately talks appear to be dragging on.

    Both parties were warned by the WBA that if a deal was not agreed then Usyk would have to face mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois, 25, instead.
    But the governing bodies’ chief Gilberto J Mendoza has now confirmed that parties have till April 1 to confirm the bout.
    He tweeted: “Usyk v. Fury update: @WBABoxing deadline to receive signed bout contracts is April 1st.
    “Otherwise the Dubois mandatory negotiations will be ordered.”

    Usyk accepted Fury’s “greedy” offer of 70/30 in a bid to get the division’s first four-belt unification over the line.
    But his manager Egis Klimas has maintained their acceptance of just 30 per cent is only valid for a fight on April 29, only six weeks away.
    And any postponement will cause a renegotiation of 50/50 split between the unbeaten pair.
    Usyk worryingly tweeted out that the “clock is ticking” on the fight after claiming his team did “everything in our power to make it happen”.

    Joshua, 33, is coming off consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, 36, leaving him fighting to revive his career.
    But a statement victory upon his return will help punch new hope into long-awaited showdowns against Fury, 34, and Wilder, 37.
    Hearn said: “AJ’s looking good but I’m nervous.
    “People are saying this is a straightforward fight for Anthony Joshua but it’s not at all.

    “Let’s look at the facts, he’s coming off two defeats to the pound-for-pound number one Oleksandr Usyk but you saw the emotional side to AJ in the last performance and after the fight.
    “Franklin is full of confidence coming off the Dillian Whyte fight and he looks all of a sudden about 20lbs lighter as well.
    “This is a big moment for Anthony Joshua’s career, people are talking about fights against Deontay Wilder, Whyte, Fury but he has to win on April 1.”
    Franklin, 29, was controversially beaten by Whyte, 34, in November, which Joshua was ringside for.

    So AJ is leaving no stone unturned as he completed training camp away from home for the first time.
    He did so under the guidance of Derrick James in Dallas, giving Hearn the confidence that the best is yet to come from the two-time champion.
    The promoter said: “Franklin is a good fighter who is going to come well equipped but AJ has worked himself hard out there in humble, humble surroundings.
    “This is just him, Derrick James and Erroll Spence. Just hard work.
    “I think this is the hardest he’s ever worked in camp and I really hope that he can produce the performance that he deserves on April 1 because I believe he’s still in his prime.
    “But he has to beat Jermaine Franklin.”
