    Brazilian jiu-jitsu whizz Danis’ clash with the elder Paul brother will mark his professional boxing debut.
    And he’s accused the YouTuber-turned-boxer of sending one of his cronies to his gym to spy on his spars and report back their findings.
    Danis made the sensational accusation – which also included Paul’s brother Jake – on Twitter after seeing footage of himself going to war during a sparring session with one of his training partners.
    He tweeted: “Shane Mosley was right; the Pauls send spies into camps for any advantage because they suck.

    “But it’s okay; with 20 seconds left in the round, my partner—who is a 15-time Brazilian world kickboxing champion—and I said, ‘Let’s go for it.’
    “I’m not afraid to sit in the pocket and trade blows. Let’s see who takes the first step back on fight night.”
    Fight fans were quick to comment on the clip, with one saying: “Bro getting molly whopped.”

    The MMA fighter has shared several snaps of the Danish model with her previous partners – which she claimed led to her suffering “humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm.”
    Agdal also accused him of sharing a 10-year-old X-rated photo of herself from a “romantic encounter” with a former partner.
    And according to TMZ, a court has found in her favour and placed a temporary restraining order against Danis.

    The WBC recently ranked Wilder and Joshua, 37 and 33 respectively, as their No1 and No2 heavyweights – meaning they could slap mandatory status on the fight.
    And it’s been claimed the Mexican sanctioning body could look to strip Fury of the belt if he refuses to face the winner of the fight.
    World Boxing News claims Fury “faces being stripped” of the prestigious green and gold title if he doesn’t agree to trade leather with either man.
    Fury hasn’t defended his WBC crown since his one-sided beatdown of Derek Chisora at Wembley last December.

    And the belt WON’T be on the line in his upcoming controversial crossover clash with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia next month.
    The WBC have, however, put a gimmick “Riyadh Champion” belt up for grabs for the Saudi showdown.
    Before Fury can worry about potentially being stripped, Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn must first find a site willing to stage his mammoth melee with Wilder.
    During an appearance on BBC Five Live, he said: “We’ve agreed the money. We’ve agreed everything.

    Killer Bee seems to have found her home in the sport’s top promotion, winning three of her five brutal bouts in BKFC.
    Bare-knuckle boxers seldom escape bouts without brutal facial injuries – which are part and parcel of the trade.
    But Starling was left looking unrecognisable after her 2021 clash with fellow OnlyFans star Charisa Sigala – a former opponent of ex-UFC star Paige VanZant.
    The mum-of-two was victorious in the five-rounder, having her hand raised courtesy of a unanimous decision victory.

    But she was left with multiple war wounds for her efforts, the worst of which was a horrific shiner under her right eye.
    A bloody and dented nose was an additional reward for the American as well as a swollen top lip.
    Speaking after her BKFC debut, Starling said: “It was really tough, it was fun – I enjoyed it.
    “It was definitely a different ball game but I had a blast.”

    Being cracked to the face by bare knuckles took some getting used to for the blonde bruiser.
    She said: “The thing that surprised me the most was that small shots hurt really bad. There are big shots that don’t hurt as bad.
    “But something as simple as taking a knuckle and slicing your eyebrow – a small knuckle definitely hurts a lot more than you think.”
    Starling dished out her fair share of punishment to Sigala, whom she dropped in the first round.
    She said of her foe: “She had a lot of heart. I definitely thought she was going to be put away and that we weren’t going to go the full five rounds.
    “But I’m glad we did because I enjoy taking it all in and taking those five rounds and really putting a show on for people.
    “Because that’s what people come for.”
    Starling picked up back-to-back wins over Cassie Robb and Hannah Guy after her clash with Sigala before suffering a 40-second defeat to Christine Ferea.
    She got back in the win column with a boxing win over Angelica Martinez but suffered a second successive BKFC defeat to Jade Masson-Wong in May.
    When she’s not in the ring, Starling is hard at work looking after her two children.

    Starling – who has been called the “world’s sexiest bare-knuckle boxer” on her Instagram comments – has faced strong criticism over her use of the platform.
    But she has defended herself by saying: “I always say to people, if you don’t pay my bills, and you don’t put food in my kids’ mouths, your opinion [doesn’t mean] s*** to me’.
    “I hate it, and if people don’t want to do it, or you think that it’s wrong so you wouldn’t do that, I understand.

    Everything was going smoothly at the weigh-in until the latter stepped onto the scales.
    The Ugandan had only been drafted in as a late replacement to face Syria’s unbeaten star.
    Bekdash had amassed a brilliant 25-0 record with 22 of those coming courtesy of knockout.
    Meanwhile, Ntege had a slightly less impressive eight wins, with six KOs, and four defeats on his CV.

    But he did not seem to be too deterred by his underdog status as he attempted to get into the mind of his formidable foe in hilarious and bizarre fashion.
    The cruiserweight decided to unleash his “prehistoric alter-ego” after his weight was announced.
    The 30-year-old arched his back and then stretched out his neck before bending both arms and bringing them into his chest.
    Ntege then proceeded to hop off the scales, mimicking a velociraptor and prepared to go nose-to-nose with his rival.

    He then faced Berkdash and continued to stay in his dinosaur persona.
    Bekdasj was unimpressed, looking him up and down and then bumped him with his backside.
    “What the f***” asked one fan after seeing the footage of the strange scene.
    Another declared it “hilarious” while a fellow fan labelled it an “the weirdest weigh-in ever”.
    And unfortunately for Ntege his prehistoric plan failed to work once the pair got in the ring.
    Bekdash pounced on him within seconds to deliver a huge knockout blow inside the first round to stretch his record to 26-0. More
