      And she could not help herself from having a go on the slot machines – much to the delight of onlookers.
      Apollonia captured the moment one passer-by was “looking at the prize” as she wore a pink busty outfit.
      The social media star shot to recognition as a member of the Misfits Boxing fight night team.
      Apollonia recently revealed to SunSport how she was offered a staggering £100,000 to pose nude.

      But she turned down the proposals out of respect for her family, insisting she isn’t money-oriented.
      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.”

      Shalom’s impressed
      Promoter Ben Shalom is very impressed by Tyler Denny.
      “I’ve never met a fighter who loves to fight as much as Tyler, it’s incredible,” he said after the fight.
      “It’s one of my highlights in boxing, it’s why I want to be in the sport. To come from where he has, to continue and to now be European champion is incredible.”
      He’s calling out Eubank!
      Denny was clear who he wants as his next opponent.
      “It’s unreal, I never would have dream something like this, I’m lost for words, I couldn’t do this without them.
      “Where’s Eubank Jr at? Come on, man. I’ll fight anybody!
      “I’ve fought everywhere, and this is the best place!”
      Denny on Cloud nine
      “This is the best. I’ve loved all week. To win the belt tops it all off.
      “I thought he was tiring big time. I felt I was going to get him out there anyway.
      “Something always happens in my fights, maybe that’s why people come and watch.”Denny on his performance
      Very strange moment
      Signani didn’t really appear like he wanted to come out for Round 8.
      He took an eternity to get out, spitting his gum shield out.
      It seems like his corner put him out of his misery.
      Denny won’t mind that though. He is the winner.
      All over
      Tyler Denny is the new champ!
      Signani’s corner appears to retire their man.
      Round 7
      Blood is pouring into that eye.
      Signani can barely see, often squinting in that round.
      Denny is patiently waiting for his moment, while Signani is hanging on in.
      All eyes on the corner.
      Round 6
      We had a break in play to treat Signani’s cut above his eye from an earlier clash of heads.
      The doctor came in to take a look, and deemed the fight can still go on.
      But you have to wonder if it could go to the cards. If it does, Denny is ahead.
      Round 5
      What a round!
      Denny and Signani are both swinging at each other.
      The former landed a left – again rocking the Italian’s head back.
      But, straight away Signani belted Denny with a right.
      Brutal.
      Round 4
      That fourth round was as open as it gets.
      Both went on the attack, with Signani looking a little lively when he gets his punches out.
      Denny is quick on his feet, avoiding the danger.
      Right before the bell, Denny lands a good left on Signani.
      Round 3
      Signani retreats following a flush shot from Denny.
      You get the feeling he is waiting for his opponent to slow down as we go through the rounds.
      He’s flat-footed, but playing the long game.
      Still, Denny is getting through.
      Round 2
      Denny’s boxing brilliantly.
      A nice right hand rocked the Italian, beating his defences and rocking his head back.
      Like Azim, it will be the combo work that will pay dividends.
      An overhand left, though, nearly catches Denny. He will have to watch that.
      Round 1
      Signani looks very stiff with his stance.
      Denny’s speed could dictate this fight, it will be up to him to do that against his 44-year-old opponent.
      Positive start from the challenger, who may have just edged that round.
      What a walk-in
      Forget Sweet Child of Mine’s intro.
      Because the champ from Italy Signani jogged into the ring before you could blink.
      Completely different to Denny who lapped up the crowd on his way in.
      We have a fight on!
      Catch your breath
      Like we have time to…
      There’s ANOTHER title fight on the line next.
      It’s Tyler Denny facing off against Matteo Signani.
      The European middleweight title is on the line. Let’s go!
      ‘I had to chop the tree down’
      “I’m feeling amazing. I want to thank my team and the main man Shane McGuigan for getting me to this point.
      “He was really tough, I knew I couldn’t stop him in the early rounds, this was a development fight for me, I had to chop the tree down and I did that. I could have gone another 15 rounds then.”Azim on Sky Sports
      In came the towel
      Azim floored Petitjean with those two right uppercuts.
      The towel came in from Petitjean’s corner, it was punishment enough.
      He lasted 10 rounds, bravely, but it was inevitable.
      A dominating performance from Azim…. the new European super-lightweight champion.
      It’s all over
      Adam Azim is the European champion.
      He has stopped Petitjean.
      Round 9
      Another low blow from Azim and the ref deducts a point.
      It won’t make a difference, if we continue in this vain.
      An annoyed Azim then goes after Petitjean as his corner egg him on.
      He’s picking Petitjean apart with right and left jabs.
      The European title is in the palm of his… gloves?
      Round 8
      Petitjean finds himself cornered as Azim unleashes more punches.
      He isn’t even looking to fight, moving away from the challenger who hunts Petitjean down.
      These combos are frightening.
      The belt is surely coming home.
      Round 7
      Petitjean fighting with more purpose this round.
      Well, he has to. He will need a knockout now.
      Azim’s speed showed once again – a five shot combo rocked Petitjean.
      A knockout could be on the cards, although he’s biding his time.
      Round 6
      Azim really grinding down Petitjean.
      He’s not only bagging the rounds, he’s making his opponent work around the ring.
      Difficult to see the French fighter hurting Azim.
      Azim gets another warning for a low blow, although again that seemed like it was on the belt of the shorts.
      Petitjean is good at taking punishment. A flurry of punches from Azim has the champ on the ropes, again with his arms close together on the defence.
      Round 5
      Somewhere along the line Petitjean is going to have to show a lot more.
      And a decent jab showed he’s capable of getting through Azim.
      But Azim stalks his opponent, to the point where a body shot floors his opponent.
      Petitjean is up after eight seconds, and spends the latter part of the round defending his body.
      Big moment in this fight.
      Round 4
      Azim’s comfortable here.
      And he’s starting to get in the range, unleashing a left hook that caught Petitjean.
      Petitjean is showing good defense.
      But that right hand now has come through a few times.
      Azim marched back to his corner. Man on a mission.
      Round 3
      A two-punch salvo throws Petitjean into the ropes.
      Azim is edging closer to his opponent and continuing to lead on the attack.
      You definitely could say Azim has won the first three rounds.
      Round 2
      Solid right hands from Azim.
      Petitjean starting to feel the pace and Azim’s undeniable power.
      Tepid start from the champ.
      But the Brit is very focused. This is his night, he senses it. More

      Jake Paul reveals when he will make anticipated MMA debut and slams Nate Diaz for rejecting $10m rematch

      by

      JAKE PAUL is closing in on his anticipated MMA debut – but he slammed Nate Diaz for turning down a $10million rematch. The YouTuber-turned boxer this year signed for the Professional Fighters League, a competing promotion to the UFC.

      Paul, 26, is coming off the back of a ten-round points win over ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, in August.
      And both the American and the PFL have proposed a rematch in the cage.
      But Diaz has so far seemed uninterested and instead wants a return in the boxing ring – claiming a deal was even agreed.
      Paul has spoken out to deny this and insisted the rematch must take place in MMA – where he is set to debut in late 2024.
      READ MORE ON JAKE PAUL
      He told MMA Junkie: “I don’t know, I think they’re just begging. Pretty desperate, I guess.
      “Wanting to make money but not actually wanting to make things happen.
      “We’re ready, MMA, end of 2024, $10million (£8m), which is more than he’s ever made for an MMA fight – ever.
      “He’s sitting there asking for more money basically drunk tweeting random s*** and random fight posters, making himself look like a fool.

      “I just can’t comprehend what they’re trying to do or what they’re saying, but this is the fight game.
      “Everyone says they want to do things, everyone calls people out, everyone blah, blah, blah, but no one actually makes s*** happen.
      “And that’s what I’ve looked to change in this sport and to just provide transparency to my audience about what’s actually going on with these negotiations and not being afraid to fight anyone anywhere, anytime, any place.”
      Paul returns on Friday, December 15 against 10-1-1 pro boxer Andre August, 35, but his PFL debut remains in the pipeline.
      He said: “Yeah, 100 per cent.
      “I’m going to start throwing knees and kicks and getting back to my Ohio Wrestling roots, shooting takedowns.
      “I truly believe that he knows it would be a really tough fight for him, and I think that’s the thing for him where he’s like, ‘Damn, do I risk my whole MMA reputation by giving this kid a chance here?’”

      But now he is working alongside Fury’s biggest rival in Joshua, something the Gypsy King surprisingly hailed.
      He said: “That’s a good match-up.
      “It’s a very good move. I think it’s good for AJ because he’s local. I think it’s a good move.”
      Joshua is usually trained by American mastermind Derrick James in Texas and has been for his last two bouts.

      But James is currently in training camp with Ryan Garcia, who makes his return against Oscar Duarte next Saturday.
      Meanwhile, Joshua, 34 is stationing himself in the UK ahead of his next fight on December 23, against Otto Wallin, 32, in Saudi Arabia.
      As a result, he is temporarily working with Davison for the bout.
      Davison got Fury down from 30 STONE to challenge for the world title in a draw against Deontay Wilder in 2018.

      Davison, 27, now works with two-time featherweight champion Leigh Wood, 35, among a host of other top prospects.
      Coincidentally, his last fight with Fury was against Wallin which saw the Brit need 47 stitches despite winning on points.

      KSI makes insane £1MILLION bet with Deji on Sidemen podcast as brothers shake on it in front of Eddie Hearn

      by

      KSI made an insane £1MILLION bet with his brother Deji in front of boxing promoter Eddie Hearn. Hearn joined KSI and Deji on the Sidemen podcast and the pair of YouTubers-turned boxers debated their physiques.
      KSI made a £1m bet with his brother Deji in front of boxing promoter Eddie Hearn
      KSI – who has been critical of his younger brother’s dedication to boxing before – then laid out a huge wager.
      He offered to pay Deji £1m if he can get abs in one year’s time.
      KSI, 30, said: “I will give you £1million to have abs by the end of next year.”
      Deji, 26, then walked over to KSI to shake hands on the bet as Hearn asked whether it was an eight or six pack needed to win the bet.
      READ MORE ON KSI
      KSI said: “We’ll give… nah six. I have to be able to see it. And like you can post it online, then everyone’s like, ‘Yes, he has abs.'”
      Hearn, who has been on his own weight loss journey, chimed in: “But Deji, it can’t be like in the right light!”
      The promoter worked with KSI for the celebrity’s 2019 professional boxing debut against Logan Paul.
      They had drawn a year prior but KSI walked away with a split-decision victory in the rematch.

      But KSI was on the end of a controversial loss to Tommy Fury, 24, who also beat Paul’s brother Jake, 26, in February.
      He is set to appeal the defeat and even Hearn on fight night believed he should have won.

      I was Conor McGregor’s first coach, I knew he was going to be special at 12 and I see the same in his six-year-old son

      by

      CONOR McGREGOR was just a schoolboy when he first went into Phil Sutcliffe’s Crumlin amateur boxing club. Two decades later, Sutcliffe is still in the UFC legend’s corner as one of his coaches.

      Phil Sutcliffe with McGregor
      The Irish trainer is a double Olympian who has worked with a host of amateur champions.
      But his gym in Dublin is synonymous for welcoming McGregor into the world of combat.
      At the time, the future MMA icon was playing for a local football team when he stumbled into Crumlin BC.
      And after being told to take his muddy boots off and have his parents fill out a membership, McGregor’s fighting journey began.
      READ MORE ON MCGREGOR
      In his later years, McGregor trained away from the boxing gym as he became entrenched in learning mixed martial arts.
      But Sutcliffe says the superstar was as talented as any other boxing champion he had – which was clear even from the age of 12.
      He said: “In pure boxing ability he was as equal to them but he didn’t put in enough for the one talent. 
      “It’s like if you wanted to play rugby but you play on the soccer pitch. It’s hard to master the two. 
      Most read in Boxing
      FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS
      “If you want to play rugby you need to be tough, you want to be fast but in soccer you want to be skillful you want to be avoiding. 
      “It’s the same in the boxing. If you want to box, you stay boxing. But Conor mastered the ability of reading. Reading the shot that comes at you.
      “He always mastered that from an early age of 12 he was able to avoid, he was able to move comfortably.” 
      McGregor left Crumlin and Sutcliffe to pursue MMA with his sights set on the UFC.
      In the years following, he became the sport’s biggest and most well-paid star.
      His fame and fortune skyrocketed in 2017 when he returned to his boxing roots for a crossover clash with Floyd Mayweather.
      He lost in ten rounds but the defeat sparked a reunion with Sutcliffe – who became a part of McGregor’s MMA camp.
      And it also changed the veteran trainer’s mind about the often brutal sport of MMA.

      Sutcliffe said: “I was never fond of mixed martial arts, I thought it was barbaric until I got involved and saw the amount of work these boys have to put into it.
      “I saw it and thought this is interesting.”
      Sutcliffe’s influence has rubbed off on McGregor, who is already teaching his six-year-old son techniques.
      And Sutcliffe admits he cannot help but see himself when McGregor gives Conor Jr a masterclass in boxing.
      He said: “Every time he’s on the pads with his son, I see me. 
      “Every time he’s teaching him I see me, every word out his mouth – except the f’ing and all that type of stuff – I see me. 
      “He’s learned a lot and I’m so glad he’s learned a lot from the person that taught him so much.”
      Conor Jr strikes a remarkable resemblance to his famous fighting father and Sutcliffe is already blown away by the youngster’s skills.
      He revealed: “He’s an athlete. I saw when he was wrestling with Cian Cowley’s son. They’re all friends. 
      “Little Conor is an athlete and his little girl is not bad either! Conor Jr is a natural, you see on the sticks and on the pads but there’s more to that, he’s making his son hard for life. 
      “He’s an athlete, no matter what he does. He’s got flexibility, he’s strong, he has no fear.”
      McGregor, 35, is currently working towards a comeback having been out since July 2021 when he broke his leg.
      He is expected to face American Michael Chandler, 37, in his return which UFC president Dana White has hinted will be in the summer.
      McGregor is back training again and Sutcliffe insisted he is still as hungry and driven as ever.
      He said: “If you see him spar or you see him fight, you see the devil in him and that’s what I love. He still wants it. 
      “He hates losing and I love that, he wants to win because he’s a winner no matter what he does.
      “He has a few years left, get few more fights get this Chandler out the way. He’s more talented than Chandler.
      “Chandler will be a rough person to beat but he’s so talented, skill base and everything, wrestling, his pouches, jujitsu, his kickboxing, he’s special.”

      The scary scenes erupted after social media star Ed Matthews, 21, got into it with TikTok rival Ben Williams.
      The two influencers have been in a war of words since the summer, and they had to be pulled apart after trading blows in the East End on Friday.
      The two men, who both had huge entourages, came face-to-face in the backstage area of the iconic York Hall.
      But after a few verbals, they then began tussling as a security guard and others tried to intervene.

      The dramatic scene then erupted as the rivals began grappling, with Williams getting on top and swinging punches at both Matthews and another unknown person.
      Fortunately more security arrived on the scene to eventually break up the chaos as they pulled each fighter away after the bad blood spilled over between the online foes.
      They were then reportedly both ejected from the building as they look to be edging closer to settling their differences in the ring. 
      Matthews is a social media star that primarily posts videos on TikTok and YouTube and is known for his collaborations with other content creators such as Hstikkytokky, and his feuds with Simple Simon and Astrid Wett.

      He previously had a rivalry with Simple Simon – real name Simon Colbran – that led to a boxing match between them.
      Matthews fought against fellow TikToker Simple Simon in London on July 16, 2022 and he knocked out his enemy in just 48 seconds, with the pair since burying the hatchet.
      But he suffered defeat in his next bout when rapper Blueface beat Matthews by stoppage in their Kingpyn boxing clash. 
      Meanwhile, the 19-year-old Dubliner Williams has become one of the most recognisable Irish faces on social media and has almost 500k TikTok followers.
      He defeated Black Paddy back in July in his home city with a first round TKO in his first Kingpyn bout then set his sights on Matthews.
      He told Sunday World previously: “He’s very big in the UK. He’s around the same age and weight as me.
      “He boxed a big rapper called Blueface. I’m calling him out, he’s seen it, but he doesn’t want it at the moment. But if I keep putting enough pressure on him I reckon he’ll take it. He’s boxed twice, won one, lost one.
      “He does live streams and lifestyle, he’s very well known. He wants me to box his best mate first, he’s 20 kilos heavier than me. He said if I beat him then he’ll box me.”
