      Dad John and mum Paula approve of her modelling work. But she stops the line at nudity, despite being offered staggering six-figure sums. 
      Apollonia said: “My mum takes pretty much 90 per cent of those pictures, and I’ve got two brothers who are all for it.
      “My family know I don’t do topless or nude photos. It would be a different story if I did.
      “But my dad is all for it, he says ‘the more publicity you get from a picture, the better so do the riskier stuff.’
      “I’ve been offered £100,000 for nude photos. As much as I support girls who do that, it’s just not for me.
      “People think I would and that I’m money-orientated, but I’m not.
      “I consider what my family think, so those people who make offers like that perceive me in the wrong way.”

      Conor McGregor was smart not to fight me… I would have destroyed him and he’s a QUITTER, says bitter sparring rival

      by

      PAULIE MALIGNAGGI has issued another stinging attack on bitter sparring rival Conor McGregor. The former boxing world champion entered McGregor’s training camp in 2017 before his crossover bout with Floyd Mayweather.

      They sparred twice in the UFC’s Las Vegas base, over eight and then 12 rounds.
      And it was the second of session that is remembered infamously, as images and footage of the spar leaked.
      It included a disputed knockdown of Malignaggi, which caused the American to storm out the camp.
      The two have continued to feud ever since and now Malignaggi has claimed McGregor was wise not to accept a grudge match with him.
      READ MORE ON MCGREGOR
      He told Action Network: “I’m a better trash talker than McGregor, that’s one of the reasons he did not fight me. I would have trashed him in the press conferences and the fight.
      “It would have ended all of the hysteria around him because I would have destroyed him in the trash talking and in the ring.
      “I would have ruined the whole aura around him. He was smart not to pull the trigger on a fight with me.”
      Malignaggi, 43, always insisted he was pushed to the ground by McGregor, who went on to lose in ten rounds to Mayweather.

      It has kept the feud alive but a boxing bout slipped away with McGregor remaining in the UFC octagon.
      Although Malignaggi said the 35-year-old is now a “punching bag” and compared his career to heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua.
      He said: “McGregor was lucky to achieve what he achieved in his career, physically and talent wise he’s up there, but just because you can do a bunch of high kicks from a Jean Claude Van Dam movie, doesn’t mean you’re a fighter; you need guts, you need a willingness to succeed, you need a willingness to enter the trenches and if you don’t have that, you’re going to fade.
      ‘We’ve talked about AJ losing that edge, but McGregor is on a different level. McGregor will quit on you, he does quit.
      “AJ does not take as many risks anymore but at least he’s not quitting. McGregor is an outright quitter.
      “He is a fighter that was not as good as advertised, there was great marketing behind him.
      “And the money he’s made now isn’t helping, so you’ve got a problem – all he’s going to do is continue to be a punching bag.
      “If you’re a punching bag in your twenties, you’ll definitely be a punching bag in your thirties.”

      Katie Taylor faces losing world title belt just days after becoming undisputed two-weight champion

      by

      KATIE TAYLOR faces losing one of her world titles just days after becoming a two-weight undisputed champion. Taylor overcame the odds be avenging her May loss to Chantelle Cameron with a redemption job in their rematch.
      Katie Taylor is faced with losing a WBO titleCredit: Sportsfile
      It saw the two-time Olympian rip all four super-lightweight titles from Cameron inside a raucous 3Arena in Dublin.
      Taylor already came into the bout as the undisputed lightweight queen and now holds all the belts across the two divisions.
      But that causes a problem with the WBO, who only allow champions to reign over one division with their belt at a single time.
      And they warned she must choose whether to keep her 135lb or 140lb straps.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      A statement read: “If Katie Taylor wins the bout against Cameron, she has up to 10 days thereafter to determine which weight division she will retain.
      “Failure to comply with such conditions will result in the Committee proceeding per WBO Regulations of World Championship Contests.
      “Consequently, in light of the foregoing, Katie Taylor must decide within the timeframe provided in the referenced provision which weight division she will retain, either the Lightweight or Jr. Welterweight division.”
      Taylor was hit with the same dilemma in 2019 when she beat Christina Linardatou for the 140lb title.

      She later vacated the belt.
      Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed Taylor’s two likely next fights are a trilogy with Cameron, 32, or a rematch with Amanda Serrano.
      Taylor, 37, beat Serrano, 35, in their 2022 thriller to retain her undisputed lightweight throne.
      If the two are to rematch, the Irish legend would likely opt to keep her 135lb WBO title.
      But with Hearn teasing a trilogy with Cameron at Ireland’s 82,000-seater Croke Park, keeping the 140lb version seems more realistic.

      He has battled the best of the best over the years – including British hero Ricky Hatton – while defeat to Mayweather in 2015 still remains the highest grossing fight of all-time.
      However, shortly after that epic showdown, he was asked by Ring Magazine who had hit him the hardest in the ring.
      And he revealed that it was none other than Miguel Cotto, who he eventually beat in the final round when they faced-off in 2009.
      Pacquiao even dropped him in the third and fourth in what looked to be a dominant performance.

      But Pacman was adamant that he was still feeling the effects of the punches he received in that bout all those years later.
      He said: “Miguel Cotto. I can still feel some of those punches he threw at me.
      “Staying on the ropes is not the best place to be when you are fighting him.
      “He’s also accurate. He’s incredible.”

      The December 9 showdown between the two Aussies was given the busty billing due to both women stripping down to their underwear for fight weigh-ins.
      It was due to occur on the undercard of Regis Prograis vs Devin Haney in San Francisco, America.
      However, Bridges’ comeback match from a hand issue is now potentially in doubt after Mathie, 36, allegedly pulled out through injury.
      And now the Daily Star says that she is desperately hunting for a replacement opponent to fill the void.

      Bridges is “believed to be gutted that her swimwear model friend can’t compete”.
      Now she faces a race against time to find someone to step in on short notice so that she can defend her IBF bantamweight title.
      Mathie has been ruled out after suffering an injury in training for the clash.
      And it is not just the two fighters that will be disappointed not to see them go one-on-one.

      Bridges had already been busy hyping up the contest and joked that she had already triumphed as her “boobs are better”.
      She had also added: “The weigh-in will break the internet.
      “It will also get a lot of viewers outside of boxing because people will be interested to see if these two ‘OnlyFans models’ can box.”
      Bridges has only defended her championship once since she won it from Maria Cecilia Roman in March 2022.
      That was when she produced an eighth-round TKO to beat Shannon O’Connell last December.
      Bridges broke her right hand in the lead up to that fight but still remarkably battled through the pain to get her arm raised before undergoing surgery.
      The much-loved star still managed to keep growing her social media fan base during her absence from the ring.
      And she was dubbed “the hottest woman in the room” this week as she sparkled in see-through top and ripped jeans.
