      But they have already begun to scrap in the lead-up to their clash as they were pulled apart during a promotional event on Thursday.
      Brooke and Danielka faced off a little over one week out from their contest in London.
      And it descended into chaos when Brooke threw a glass of water in the Pole’s face.
      Danielka responded by throwing her own water straight back at the Brit before the pair vacated the table and attempted to fight it out.

      How Brooke and Danielka compare heading into their fight
      OnlyFans star Brooke retreated and received a kick for her troubles, before they were momentarily separated.
      But it sparked up again immediately when Brooke threw the remainder of her water at Danielka.

      The Polish Love Island star hit back by grabbing hold of Brooke as her glass smashed on the floor.
      And she then threw her to the ground as they were pulled apart once more.

      When they returned to continue the face-off, Brooke then pushed the makeshift table into Danielka’s legs, before the Poland-based influencer tried to lift up her chair and thrust it towards Brooke.
      The YouTube fighters came to blows after Danielka turned up to the event wearing a jumper with an X-rated picture of Brooke plastered over it.
      Brooke will enter the fight as the only one with any fighting experience.
      She has two boxing contests under her belt against AJ Bunker and Faith Ordway, stopping the latter in the first round.
      Brooke has also been training with IBF bantamweight champion Ebanie Bridges.
      However, her novice rival Ola will have a huge size advantage.
      Fans were left in hysterics after seeing the size difference between them as they were drawn together in the quarter-final of the “High Stakes” influencer tournament.
      However, Brooke insists she will come out on top.
      She said: “I like the challenge. You’re beautiful, but I wouldn’t mind smashing your face in. I’m 5’1”, I’m always gonna be the shorter woman.

      “But I’ve always been prepping to spar someone taller. She’s a lot slimmer build so hopefully she’s a lot less strong and you can just bully her in the ring.
      “It’s gonna be a challenge. I’m here to set out that I am the best pound-for-pound female influencer boxer and that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.” More

      The star said it came from a clash of heads in sparring in his new YouTube video today…Credit: YouTube – @ksi
      Ahead of that clash, he appeared on the latest episode of his Sidemen show to promote the bout.
      However, the man with 16.2 million followers on social media already looked like he had received a hefty beating as he sported a swollen eye and bust lip.
      Laughing at the start of the video, KSI said: “Yo, what’s up? It’s your boy KSI… mind the eye.
      “I got it during sparring. Just a clash of heads.”
      READ MORE ON BOXING
      But that does not seem to be deterring the fighter as he insisted his training for the bout could not be better.
      KSI, real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, said: “Training camp is going well.
      “Obviously I took a little break. I felt like it was good for me.
      “I felt like I was really able to step back and reflect on my whole life, my whole situation because I feel like I’ve just been going at a hundred miles an hour in general especially this year.”

      He added: “So much has happened I still haven’t taken in that I knocked out Temperrr in the first round, like, I wasn’t able to take that whole moment, you know, me fighting at Wembley Arena and everyone going crazy and everything.
      “Everything has just moved and I’ve just done so many things after that, that I haven’t been able to just settle and take it all in.”
      Earlier this month KSI and Fournier, 40, clashed on stage at a heated press conference ahead of their bout at the Misfits Boxing event in London.
      Fournier double-handed shoved KSI – real name in the chest.
      KSI refrained from reacting to the push, remaining calm and opting instead to continue to stare down the British businessman.
      Prior to landing the first physical blow of their rivalry, a fired-up Fournier roared: “At the end of the day I am coming to take the guy’s whole legacy.
      “I’m here to be the new face of Misfits. I want to have a scrap with the guy.
      “The guy made his career playing FIFA. He beats me at FIFA but this isn’t FIFA.
      “This is us standing there 18lb, 10oz gloves and he talks about explosive and power but it is all relative.
      “David Haye didn’t knock me out so I would like to trade with him and I want it to be a fight that goes down in history.
      Read More on The Sun
      “I want him to be the best he can be I don’t want me to walk all over him in 40 seconds, like I think is going to happen.”
      KSI responded with his own jibes, but it was his apology for using a racial slur in a recently-aired YouTube video which dominated the presser. More

      I’m Britain’s hardest working boxer.. I climb mountains, run marathons and work as a roofer on my days off

      by

      SAM NOAKES might be Britain’s hardest working boxer – but only after he walked out of his first two jobs after ONE shift.The Maidstone lightweight – whose 10-0 record is built on a perfect 10/10 KO rate – has always been a fitness fanatic, conquering mountains and marathons on his days off from training.

      But the 25-year-old could not match that commitment in his first two careers and jacked in a couple of earners without even getting paid.
      The proud mummy’s boy – who still lives at home for the expert cooking and laundry on offer – told SunSport: “My first job after school was in a call centre, I went in with good intentions, gave it a go and never went back for the second day.
      “I wasn’t fussy, the next job was McDonald’s, another full shift but couldn’t face going back and didn’t even get paid.
      “In the end I got a job as a roofer, ten times harder than both of those jobs, outside and physically demanding but I loved it and I stuck to that right up until recently when my sponsorship deals allowed me to train full-time.

      “But even in the summer now, if my old boss has a big job on, or if I am waiting around for a fight, I will go back and do a month or so on site with the boys, show them what I can still do.
      “It’s the same with the running and mountains, if I wasn’t a boxer I would still be doing them with my mates, so I just squeeze them in around fights.”
      Noakes reckons the only pre-boxing career he clicked with might be responsible for his freakish power and frightening nickname.
      The Kent Golovkin – named after Kazakh KO king Gennady – believes the knockout power he has shown in both hands has come from lugging slates, tiles and cladding up and down ladders all day and trying to match the bigger blokes on the firm.

      Ahead of his Saturday Commonwealth title defence against Karthik Kumar, he laughed: “I remember being on jobs and there was always a bit of competition about who could carry what.
      “And I remember the bigger lads telling me to go easy and leave the big loads to them.
      “I wouldn’t stand for that though and always managed to match them, even though it was a serious struggle early on.
      “They would ask if I was okay and I would be straining so much that I could just about manage to whisper a ‘yep’.
      “So I can’t pinpoint where the power has come from for sure, but those tough days must have helped.”

      Behind most boxers there is a story of woe or hardship but it’s refreshing to get nothing but smiles and boy-next-door charm from Noakes, whose mum has been the driving force behind his early success.
      “I’m not a complex fella,” he likes to say. “There ain’t too much going upstairs for anyone to worry about. 
      “What you see is what you get with me.
      “My mum and dad split up when I was young but they have always remained friends and supported me in everything I have done.

      While Elle has been sparing with Ebanie as she works her way into the boxing world.
      The pair have some interesting similarities as well as some striking differences in their lives and careers.
      Net Worth
      Ebanie only had her first professional boxing fight in 2019 after years competing at amateur level.
      But she has risen quickly through the ranks and secured the IBF title in 2022.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      The 36-year-old’s tremendous record is reflected by her rising fortunes out of the ring.
      She is estimated to have a net worth of up to £4million.

      Meanwhile Elle’s net worth is reported be as high as £2m.
      Her background is in social media with Elle becoming a viral TikTok sensation.
      Most read in Boxing
      The Surrey influencer is known for her raunchy content and has 2.2 million followers on TikTok.
      She also 686,000 Instagram followers, just short of Ebanie’s 731,000.
      Boxing Career
      In Ebanie’s ten fights, she won nine of them by knockout.
      The Blonde Bomber’s only loss was in 2021 to Shannon Courtenay but she has bounced back with four wins since.
      Her title win came via an emphatic victpry over Maria Cecilia Roman in Leeds last year.
      Elle is training with Ebanie as the TikToker tries to make it in boxing herself.

      The Australian has not pulled punches in sparring sessions as she looks to make Elle the star of the celebrity crossover boxing.
      And it is so far so good for Brooke who has a 2-0 record.
      The 25-year-old’s first victory came via a points win against Love Island star AJ Bunker last summer.
      She followed that up by stopping Tiktok rival Faith Ordway in January.
      Up next for her is influencer Ms. Ola Danielka on April 22 at Wembley Arena in the KingPyn High Stakes tournament.
      Ebanie does not currently have a date in the diary for her next fight but fans can reportedly expect her back in the ring in the autumn.
      She most recently beat Shannon O’Connell in December.
      Homes
      Ebanie gave fans a glimpse into her lavish house earlier this year as she showed off all it has to offer.
      Most eye-catching of all was her huge Steinhoven piano.
      That appeared to take up much of her living room while her belts and boxing memorabilia was present on shelves and on the walls.
      Her swanky pad also featured framed pics of scantily-clad women on the walls.

      Fans have had less of a insight into what exactly Elle’s home looks like.
      Her Instagram followers only get the occasional view through seeing the background of the model’s pictures.
      But Elle appears to have a spacious house with an impressive modern interior.
      Partners
      The rumour mill went into overdrive last year when Ebanie was pictured with Brit boxer Kell Brook.
      The pair were chatting at Anthony Joshua’s rematch with Olexandr Usyk.
      She even joked about having kids with the 36-year-old.
      Ebanie is not believed to be in a relationship but revealed last year that she had broken up with her boyfriend of ten years.
      Elle is also not reported to be dating anyone at the moment.
      She has previously joked about being with the “sexiest motherf***er” she had ever met in Liam Wilson, who is best known for being Jack Grealish’s look-alike.
      She has also revealed that 40-year-old actor Seth Rogen would be her “dream one night stand”.
      Instagram
      It is fair to say both Ebanie and Elle are very generous to fans when it comes to Instagram pics.
      The pair enjoy taking racy snaps which occasionally leave little to the imagination.
      They both attract plenty of Instagram comments from adoring followers.

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has been warned he’d be left a “bloody mess” if he shared the ring with Joe Joyce or Daniel Dubois.Domestic dust-ups with the pair are very much on the horizon for the Watford warrior as he continues his career rebuild following back-to-back losses to pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk.

      Joshua was a shell of his former sell as he fought Jermaine Franklin to a scrappy points victory at the O2 last month.
      So much so that Queensbury Promotion’s Francis Warren reckons he’ll be battered if he shares the ring with Joyce.
      Francis – the son of veteran promoter Frank – told iFL TV: “Joe Joyce knocks Anthony Joshua out.
      “I think he stops him in a bloody mess.”

      Francis foresees the same outcoming happening if AJ ever dukes it out with Dubois.
      He continued: “And I think similar with Dubois.
      “I think anyone who hunts Anthony down, at the moment, I think they’re in for a good night.”
      Francis reckons AJ should avoid Joyce and Dubois and rematch long-time rival Dillian Whyte.

      He said: “I’d fight Dillian in the summer because I think that’s a win-win for him.”
      Joshua, 33, was expected to return to action in July but has since revealed he won’t be back in the ring until DECEMBER at the earliest.
      He said on Instagram: “My next fight is scheduled for December. Not ideal but everything is part of a bigger picture.”
      Promoter Eddie Hearn, however, insists “nothing is decided” with regards to AJ’s next outing.
      Hearn revealed earlier this month that he was hopeful the golden boy of British boxing would close out the year with two more fights.
      He told Boxing Social: “I would like to see [Joshua] have a little rest then get straight back to Texas with Derrick [James].
      “And try and have an end-of-summer fight and then try and fight in December.
      “It would be great for his career.” More

      Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz tale of the tape: How YouTube star and UFC icon compare ahead of huge boxing fight

      by

      JAKE PAUL returns to settle a score with Nate Diaz in his next fight. The YouTube star is coming off the first defeat in his seven-bout prizefighting career, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury in February.

      But Paul decided against invoking his rematch clause to instead welcome Diaz to the boxing ring on August 5 in Texas.
      The bad blood has been brewing and will come to a head in Dallas, as SunSport runs down how the rivals compare.
      Diaz, 37, spent 15 years in the UFC, becoming a beloved cult hero alongside his brother Nick, 39.
      He shot to fame following his March 2016 upset over Conor McGregor but went on to lose the thrilling rematch five months later.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      A trilogy with McGregor, 34, has failed to materialise and Diaz walked out on the UFC last year when his contract expired.
      He crosses over to boxing with a storied 35 MMA bouts, winning 22 and losing 13, with 18 combined stoppages in the cage.
      Diaz is a jujitsu specialist with a boxing base, having sparred American legend Andre Ward during his prime.
      Paul, 26, meanwhile is still a relative novice, having only made his professional debut in 2020 following one exhibition win.
      Most read in Boxing
      CASINO SPECIAL – BEST ONLINE CASINOS FOR 2023
      But during that three-year period, he racked up six wins, four by knockout, while facing three ex-MMA champions.
      Paul KO’d Ben Askren, 38, in April 2021, before twice beating former UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley, 40, that year.
      He outpointed Woodley and won the rematch by KO while a year later bettering UFC icon Anderson Silva, 47, over eight rounds.
      But when stepping up against a recognised boxer for the first time in Fury, 23, Paul was beaten on points in Saudi Arabia.
      He had the option for a rematch or a bitter grudge match against online rival KSI, 29, but Diaz was instead selected.
      Diaz was at Paul’s October 2022 win over Silva and their opposing teams clashed backstage.
      A war of words had ensued both before and after the incident, leading to an expected score-settling showdown.

      Nate Diaz beat Tony Ferguson in his final UFC fightCredit: GETTY
      Paul is one inch taller than Diaz at 6ft 1in, and will take a natural size advanatage into the fight.
      He weighed a career-lowest (13st 1lb) before losing to Fury, having largely boxed at 190lb.
      Meanwhile, Diaz fought most of his UFC career in the 155lb lightweight division (11st).
      But he finished his career at 170lb (12st 1lb) as a welterweight, including his finale win against Tony Ferguson, 39.
      Paul will meet Diaz at a 185lb catchweight, over eight rounds.
      He has gone that distance three times before, against Woodley, Silva and Fury, losing just the once.
      Diaz, known for his conditioning, only went the full five-round UFC distance three times during his career.
      Read More on The Sun
      And with only five KOs to his name, Paul will be the bigger puncher of the two.
      Diaz is by far the more experienced fighter, but Paul’s prior wins over MMA stars show it can matter little when the cage is swapped for the ring.

      Oleksandr Usyk claims he could have KOd Anthony Joshua in either of their fights but reveals reason why he didn’t

      by

      OLEKSANDR USYK has revealed he opted NOT to knock out Anthony Joshua in their back-to-back fights.The pound-for-pound king claimed and defended the unified heavyweight titles against AJ in their Tottenham tussle in September 2021 and their Saudi showdown last August.

      Undefeated Ukrainian Usyk hurt Joshua in the 12th round of their first clash and did so again in the tenth of their rematch – although he decided against shutting the Brit’s lights out.
      When asked why he didn’t go in for the kill, the slick southpaw asked: “Why are you so bloodthirsty?
      “There is victory, everything is fine. Why is it necessary for a person to fall?”
      Usyk, 36, didn’t want to put Joshua on the canvas in front of his loved ones – in particular his mum and dad.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      He continued: “He has a mother and father. This is a big chunk of health if a person falls. I’m not for that.”
      Victory in his rematch with Joshua set Uysk up for a blockbuster undisputed heavyweight title fight with Tyson Fury.
      But the mouthwatering showdown collapsed last month after Team Usyk got tired of Fury moving goalposts after agreeing to a 70-30 split in favour of The Gypsy King.
      Usyk said: “I see that nothing is going on, he is trying to play us, and I said, ‘That’s all, bye.’

      “He says, ’70/30, I am the king. It’s all thanks to me.’
      “I don’t respond to that. I understand that this is a mental game.
      “The king is the king. And the king does not need to shout that he is the king.”
      He added: “He is trying very hard to copy the great Muhammad Ali, but the copy is very bad.”
      Usyk is now on course to lock horns with the mandatory challenger for his WBA heavyweight title – Daniel Dubois – in the summer.
      He said of the fight: “I will go to Britain, I love it very much. My first big achievements were in Britain.
      “Then Anthony Joshua. I like this place, I like the fans, the people.” More
