    “Ronda Rousey or Astrid Wett?”
    While Astrid said to Elle: “The weight class is difficult. If you want the belt, you’ll come down.
    “If you win a belt at your weight, I’ll have to come up. So yeah, I’m happy with mine.”
    Astrid also said on the fight: “It was tougher than I thought. It’s annoying about my nose it bled recently it’s so easy to cut open. Fair play to AJ, she brought it.
    “I was very confident. I trained so hard for this and was so well conditioned. I’m very proud of myself.
    “If AJ wants to prove she’s on my level – she was very close – I’m more than happy for a rematch. I’m looking forward not backwards.”

    Misfits recap
    So tonight is fight night No 5 for KSI’s new promotional brand.
    It seems to be getting bigger and bigger and has just signed a new five-year deal with DAZN.
    Tonight is one of the smaller, regular events on the calendar.
    The PPV shows I’ve seen in London twice have been spectacular but this is the first time seeing a regular show up close.
    If Telford is anything like the O2 Arena or Wembley Arena shows from the last seven months then it should be fun.

    Location
    Telford, lovely Telford. What to say about this place.
    It’s not an area of England many people would have visited for sure.
    It’s around a two-hour drive north of London and 90-minutes south of Manchester.
    There’s not an awful lot here other than the International Centre which is hosting tonight’s event.
    I have family here so am here quite often. One cousin keeps telling me about a famous bridge they have called ‘Ironbridge’. Look it up if you want.
    Center stage
    Tonight’s female bout will see Astrid Wett take on AJ Bunker.
    The fight will see Only Fans star Astrid take on former Love Island reality contestant AJ.
    Astrid would like to complete her boxing hattrick after her fight with Bunker, with a bout against fellow OnlyFans star Elle Brooke.
    AJ made her boxing debut against Astrid’s nemesis Brooke last August.
    Chelsea fan Astrid then watched ringside as Brooke made her return against American influencer Faith Ordway in January.

    Full card
    The action has just got underway with the first bout of the evening between Tempo Arts and Godson done.
    Here’s what what’s on the menu for the evening…

    Main event: Jay Swingler v Nicholai Perrett
    King Kenny v Ashley Tebi from Rak-Su

    Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk ‘not far off’ being scrapped as promoter reveals decision to axe fight will be imminent

    TYSON FURY’S undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk is “not far off” collapsing, according to promoter Frank Warren.The Gypsy King, 34, has been in talks with the Ukrainian’s team ever since he successfully defended his WBC crown against Derek Chisora in December.

    Usyk has not fought since beating Anthony Joshua in AugustCredit: PA
    A clash in Saudi Arabia appeared to be the most likely location for the bout – which would see all four world heavyweight titles on the line.
    But a failure to secure a site fee in the Middle East has left them looking at Wembley on April 29.
    However, Fury’s promoter Warren has now cast doubts about the fight taking place at all.
    Speaking to iFL TV, he said: “We’re getting to a situation where one way or another we’re going to have to make a decision.
    READ MORE ON TYSON FURY
    “And we’re not far off that.”
    Fury and Usyk are both undefeated as professionals and widely regarded as the two best heavyweights in the world.
    Since moving up from cruiserweight, Usyk has beaten Derek Chisora and Anthony Joshua twice.
    But before that, Fury ended Wladimir Klitschko’s reign with a superb win in 2015 and then left the sport for three years due to mental health issues.

    He returned in 2018 and has gone on to beat Deontay Wilder on two occasions, as well as Dillian Whyte and Chisora.
    If a Fury-Usyk fight does not materialise, an all-British dust-up with Joe Joyce could be next up for the WBC champion.
    Last month, Warren hinted at a summer clash between his two men Fury and Joyce.
    Joyce is set to face Chinese heavyweight Zhilei Zhang at the Copper Box Arena on April 15 as he awaits a world title shot.
    But he could be thrown into a Fury clash instead should the opportunity arise.
    Speaking in a recent column, Warren said: “Our big hope, of course, is that the Juggernaut [Joyce] remains on a collision course with Tyson Fury and a big summer date at Wembley.
    “That is the plan if Tyson takes all the titles from Oleksandr Usyk and Joe does the business on April 15 in Stratford.” More
