      Brooke went face-to-face with opponent Faith Ordway, who is a TikTok star, on Thursday night following a press conference.
      And the 25-year-old set pulses racing during the face-off by wearing a lacy nighty – which caught the eye of several viewers.
      Brooke completed her outfit with a pair of Uggs and a silver sash with a “Birthday Queen” emblazoned across it.
      Brooke has been training with IBF women’s bantamweight champion Ebanie Bridges ahead of her return to the ring.

      And she’s loved being able to call on the Aussie slugger – who she recently teased an OnlyFans collaboration with.
      In an interview with Boxing Social, she said of Bridges: “She’s always there for me and it’s so nice.
      “You know, I get to work alongside my idol. My literal idol! I’m so grateful.
      “And even this week she’s been so caring and attentive.

      “I adore her, and I love her so much.”
      “Can’t wait to see you smash it this weekend.”
      Brooke’s first foray into the ring saw her lock horns with former Love Island star AJ Bunker, which beat won via decision.
      But she plans to continue boxing in the hope of one-day landing on the undercard of a Jake Paul fight.
      She told talkSPORT: “Oh my god, being on a Jake Paul card is the absolute dream.
      “I don’t see it happening in the next fight or maybe the fight after.
      “But even if I could do really well on this fight, I would love to be kind of recognised by him.
      “If he reacted to it or gave a bit of a heads up and said, ‘You’ve done great’ that would mean the absolute world to me.
      “That would be the ideal dream.” More

      Jake Paul accused of performing ‘smoke and mirrors act’ with two-fight boxing and MMA offer to Nate Diaz

      by

      JAKE PAUL has been accused of performing a “smoke and mirrors” act with his recent offer to Nate Diaz.The Problem Child challenged the former UFC star to a two-fight series – one in boxing and the other in MMA – after announcing his multi-year deal with the Professional Fighters League.

      Paul’s pursuit of Diaz has been slammed by ex-UFC champ Michael BispingCredit: GETTY
      Paul’s willingness to fight Diaz in the cage impressed many, but not former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping – who reckons the YouTuber is trying to dodge a legitimate fight in the boxing world.
      During a recent episode of his Believe You Me podcast, The Count said: ” “Now, Nate Diaz, he’s a decent boxer, he’s as tough as they come, he’s got great jiu-jitsu, but he’s not known for being the best wrestler.
      “So maybe, could he take Jake Paul down? Is Nate Diaz at the end of his career?
      “This is all smoke and mirrors.

      “This is all just Jake Paul trying to navigate the waters of how he can continue to make money.
      “He can’t do it in boxing because in boxing if he’s going to have a big boxing fight, it has to be against a real boxer and a real boxer would more than likely beat him, which is not what they want.
      “He can’t continue calling up former UFC legends that are retired because that’s not doing it any more either.”
      Paul has got a perfect 6-0 thanks to consecutive wins over former UFC welterweight and middleweight champions Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva.

      But the ex-Disney star had a marked size advantage over the pair and former Bellator champ Ben Askren, which Bisping believes he’s trying to utilise against Diaz.
      He added: “The point I’m making is he’s never fought a boxer.
      “But even still, these former UFC legends, they’re not pulling in the pay-per-view numbers.
      “So now he’s going to have to fight mixed martial arts, which on paper makes it sound like Jake Paul is doing the right thing.
      “He’s being courageous, he’s willing to switch sports.

      Gervonta Davis is turning into a mini-monster hell-bent on taking Mike Tyson’s tag as boxing’s Baddest Man on the Planet

      by

      GERVONTA DAVIS is a tiny tearaway who is big trouble inside and outside the ring.He is rapidly turning into a mini-monster who seems hell-bent on taking over Mike Tyson’s role as boxing’s “Baddest Man on the Planet.”

      Though 2023 is not yet two weeks old Davis, who is just 5ft 5in tall, is already staking a claim to be a candidate to be named Fighter of the Year – that’s if he isn’t serving a long jail sentence.
      Eleven days before he defended his WBA regular world lightweight title last Saturday, Davis was arrested in Florida and, not for the first time, charged with domestic violence spending the night in a prison cell. 
      A distraught woman, said to be the mother of his daughter, had called police begging for help and screaming: “He’s going to kill me.”
      Davis, released on a bail bond and completely unfazed by the experience and the serious disruption to his preparation, battered Hector Garcia so severely he retired on his stool at the end of the eighth round in front of a 19,000 sell-out crowd at Washington DC’s Capital One Arena.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Floyd Mayweather Jr’s protege’s remarkable unbeaten record is now 28-0 with 26 KO’s.
      Davis is a ferocious punching pocket-battleship who fires explosive missiles with both hands.
      It was obvious he was an exceptional talent to those fortunate to see him destroy Liam Walsh in less than three rounds when he defended his world super-featherweight crown at East London’s Copper Box, six years ago.
      Since then, Davis has been arrested on numerous occasions for several offences including aggravated assault.

      He is due to appear at Baltimore Circuit Court, on February 16, where he will face 14 counts relating to a hit-and-run offence.
      It is alleged he smashed his Lamborghini SUV into another car putting the four occupants in hospital.
      If he should be found guilty on all 14 charges he could be sent to prison for seven years.
      Not that Davis believes he will be convicted – he has already agreed to meet the equally brilliant unbeaten Ray Garcia this spring – it is said to be in Las Vegas on April 15.
      Davis, 28, started boxing as a five-year-old and is a product of Baltimore’s most crime-ridden ghetto.
      He appears to be trying to emulate his mentor Mayweather – who has also had problems with law and order – with an ostentatious lifestyle.

      Among Gervonta’s fleet of luxury vehicles – besides the Lamborghini – is a £280,000 Rolls Royce, a Ferrari, a Corvette Stingray, a USSV Rhino GX with inbuilt TV and a Range Rover.
      He is tattooed all over his body from the neck down – and he’s most proud of the gorilla face on his chest.
      And he never goes out without being adorned with millions of dollars-worth of diamond-encrusted necklaces, rings and designer watches. 
      Heavyweights Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois, will once again be the dominate force in the next 12 months.
      But for purist fans the lightweight division will grab their attention – it’s loaded with outstanding exciting unbeaten talent.
      Davis is a ferocious punching pocket-battleship who fires explosive missiles with both hands
      Apart from Davis and Ray Garcia, the undisputed champion is Devin Haney, 29-0, 15 KO’s, and the superb southpaw craftsman Shakur Stevenson, 19-0, 9 KO’s.

      If only they can be persuaded to fight each other they would rival the four Kings, Leonard, Hagler, Hearns and Duran who had nine fights between them and captivated millions in the 1980s.
      Fury and the rest of the large lumps will get most of the publicity but as a wise man said: “Small men can cut very large shadows.”

      Deontay Wilder’s ex-opponent Gerald Washington is ‘one of the leading names’ to fight Anthony Joshua in Brit’s return

      by

      GERALD WASHINGTON is primed and “ready” to welcome Anthony Joshua back to the ring.Former two-time heavyweight champ Joshua is set to begin his career rebuild in April following back-to-back defeats to pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk.

      Several names are in the frame to face the Brit in a spring slug-fest, including 40-year-old former WBC heavyweight title challenger Washington.
      Deontay Wilder’s coach Malik Scott told Best Sports Betting Canada: “Gerald Washington is one of the leading names to possibly fight Anthony Joshua.
      “It’s not a rumour, it’s an actual fact that he’s one of the options. And it’s something Gerald is ready for.”
      Veteran heavyweight Washington – who fought Wilder in 2017 – is on the joint-worst run of his career following back-to-back TKO losses to Charles Martin and Ali Eren Demirezen.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      But Scott believes The Black Rooster could potentially spring a major upset against AJ if he gets himself in the right frame of mind.
      He said: “I keep telling people, Gerald is a big, strong, heavy-handed guy.
      “The physicalities are there, but what we’ve been working on is mental stamina.
      “And fighting at the highest level, that’s more important than the physical.

      “Gerald is better than ever, he’s hungrier than ever, and I can’t wait for you guys to see him.
      “And I can’t wait to see him under the lights myself.
      “I’m very optimistic the fight will get made, especially at this point with the move they’re trying to do for AJ.
      “That’s what makes me optimistic about it because I know the mission they’re on with AJ.
      “And that’s not the mission I’m on for Deontay and AJ.”
      Australia’s Demsey Mckean is also in contention to face Joshua later this year, although the ‘Machine’ recently dismissed suggestions he’s signed a bout agreement.

      Defeat in his next outing would be curtains for Joshua’s faint world title hopes and could put the final nail into the coffin of his career.
      Promoter Eddie Hearn told iFL TV: “You go into that fight in April and you know that defeat, it’s all over, really.
      “It would be a third back-to-back defeat and yet a great performance and a showroom knockout will get everyone saying, ‘We’re back, baby.’
      “That’s what I can’t wait for because I love it when our backs are against the wall.

      KSI has his sights set on facing Paul later this year and he will need to win at Wembley Arena on Saturday to help the likelihood of a future bout against the American taking place.
      The 29-year-old has plans that involve beating Paul and then taking on UFC star McGregor.
      KSI told MMA Fighting: “After I flatline Jake, how cool would it be to have a go at the king?”
      McGregor has interacted with the Sidemen member before, jumping in on his social media spat with Danis, who rose to fame as he trained with the Irishman.

      The MMA legend referred to KSI as a “friendly little nerd”.
      Paul has often called out McGregor, but he has never got a response.
      KSI found it hilarious that he got a retaliation and his enemy hasn’t, adding: “I was gassed, I was like ‘oh, rah, Conor tweeted at me?’
      “Jake has been on Conor’s a*** but Conor’s said nothing.

      “I mentioned Conor once and he fired back, I was like ‘I’ve got the sauce like that.'”
      KSI will be aiming to continue his unbeaten run in the ring that includes five bouts across amateur, exhibition and professional level.
      He has not fought since August when he knocked out Swarmz and Luis Pineda on one night.
      Meanwhile, McGregor has not been in action since sustaining a broken leg in his loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
      As for Paul, he has been busy trying to organise a fight with Tommy Fury, while also finding time to argue with KSI in a heated Twitter Live row. More

      And opening the DAZN pay-per-view card is OnlyFans star Brooke, 24, and TikToker Ordway, 21.
      Brooke is the more experienced of the two, having won her boxing debut last July by beating ex-Love Islander AJ Bunker, 28.
      She stands around 5ft 5in and her last bout was at 8st 8lb.
      Ordway’s height and weight so far remains unknown, despite appearing taller, but she is yet to step foot into the ring.

      Both impressed during their training camps, showing off decent form and speed.
      Brooke does have the advantage of training with top coach Mark Tibbs and IBF bantamweight champion Ebanie Bridges, 36.
      The Manchester City fan has made her name as an adult film actress, which has gained her 3.5million social media followers.
      Ordway meanwhile made it big on TikTok, where she has 4.3m followers and 11.2m on all platforms.

      Ordway said: “When the bell goes it’s tunnel vision, I’m in there, I’m ready.
      “As I’ve said, there’s no mercy when you get in the ring because it’s a war at that point.
      “I play nice on the outside but when it’s in the ring it’s a different story.”
      Brooke said: “I think it’s a good match in terms of ability.
      “From what we’ve probably seen of each other, there’s not like a vast big gap like many female influencers it’s a mismatch.
      “This is going to be a good fight.”

      ‘It’s all over really’ – Eddie Hearn admits Anthony Joshua’s career would be FINISHED if he loses April return fight

      by

      EDDIE HEARN has admitted that Anthony Joshua’s career will be over if he loses his next fight. The 33-year-old is set to step back in the ring on April 1 for a comeback bout at the O2 Arena.
      Anthony Joshua could hang up his gloves if he loses his fight on April 1, claims Eddie HearnCredit: PA
      He recently suffered back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, making it three losses in his last five after being beaten by Andy Ruiz Jr in the first of their two clashes.
      Joshua is now set for a tune-up fight as he looks to rediscover top form and confidence.
      However, the pressure is on because if AJ was to lose to a potential lesser-known opponent then his promoter believes his career is finished.
      Hearn said to iFL TV: “You go into that fight in April and you know that defeat, it’s all over, really.

      “It would be a third back-to-back defeat and yet a great performance and a showroom knockout will get everyone saying, ‘We’re back, baby.’

      “I’m excited. I’m really excited. This is the most excited I’ve been in Joshua’s journey so far.”
      The Watford-born heavyweight has been linked with facing his ex-sparring partner Demsey McKean in April.

      The Aussie told Sky Sports: “We are one of the frontrunners for a possible opponent for Anthony Joshua.
      “I could be [the man to retire Joshua] and I am very confident I can do that.”
      With AJ and Hearn hopeful of victory, the Matchroom chief is already eyeing up future bouts for afterwards.
      Joshua wants a big fight in the summer and a rematch with Dillian Whyte is being discussed.
      Hearn also suggested that they would like to arrange a bout with Deontay Wilder, but the American’s thoughts are currently on a potential meeting with Ruiz Jr.
      The promoter also left the door open for a Battle of Britain fight against Tyson Fury.
      Hearn said: “We’re open to a Wilder fight, we’re open to a Fury fight, we’re open to every fight in the summer.
      “AJ knows he wants to be in the biggest fights possible and if a bigger fight rears it’s head, and there’s only two bigger fights in the division than Whyte, that’s Fury and Wilder.
      “And if they appear, somehow, we’re 100 per cent willing to look at those as well.” More

      Tyson Fury clash with Anthony Joshua could FINALLY happen this summer as Eddie Hearn plans talks over all-Brit showdown

      by

      EDDIE HEARN has opened the door to talks for Anthony Joshua to fight Tyson Fury this summer. The pair of heavyweight rivals have tiresomely failed to agree terms for a blockbuster Battle of Britain bout in the past.

      And the dream fight appears further away than ever with AJ set to build his way back while Fury unifies the division against Oleksandr Usyk.
      Joshua, 33, is in line to return on April 1 at the O2 Arena before setting up a summer rematch against Dillian Whyte, 34.
      Meanwhile Fury, 34, is in talks for the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed title decider against Usyk, 35.
      But although the Brit duo appear destined for different paths, promoter Hearn is not ready to rule out shock talks.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      He told iFL TV: “AJ wants a big fight in the summer. So the one which would make sense, the one which should be hopefully straight forward to make is the rematch with Dillian Whyte.
      “We’re open to a Deontay Wilder fight, we’re open to a Tyson Fury fight, we’re open to every fight in the summer.
      “But yet, in my mind with AJ fighting in April and probably Dillian fighting around the same time, that would lead them to a big all-British heavyweight fight in the summer.
      “Doesn’t mean it’s done, we’ve still got to agree terms with both fighters, but that’s what I’d like to do.

      “However, AJ knows he wants to be in the biggest fights possible and if a bigger fight rears its head, and there’s only two bigger fights in the division than Dillian Whyte, and that’s Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.
      “And if they appear, somehow, 100 per cent willing to look at those as well.”
      Joshua was beaten in his Saudi Arabia rematch against Usyk in August, his second defeat to the Ukrainian in 11 months.
      He subsequently took some time off and will now relocate to America with a new trainer for his return fight.
      Hearn wants AJ to fight three times in 2023 and against Wilder, 37, at some point in the year.
      He said: “I want the Wilder fight in 2023. I know AJ does as well. That’s a massive fight.”
