      Hailing from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, stunning redhead Natalie will also be expected to be involved when Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally settle their beef in February.
      But in the meantime, Natalie will be busy studying for a degree in business management.

      And last year Natalie was even crowned Miss Swimsuit UK, although her rise to stardom has been far from easy.
      She has previously spoken about bullying she had to overcome in her younger years.
      Following her Miss Swimsuit victory, Natalie said: “I’ve dropped out of so many things in the past because of confidence issues so I just went for it with this and it paid off.
      “When they announced the winner – I literally can’t even explain the feeling. I was so nervous and I wasn’t expecting to win, it’s one thing to take part but to actually win. I was so speechless. It was magical, I am so thankful.”

      She added: “I have felt so proud of myself; it took a while to sink in but I can’t help but smile when I think about my journey.
      “I entered into Miss Lancashire a few years back and dropped out – I was too overwhelmed at the time with self doubt.”
      Natalie followed up her Miss Swimsuit victory by competing in the US version of the contest in October.
      However, this time she was unable to pick up the gong, though there was some respite in her being named as one of Chamrz Magazine’s top 12 girls on their latest calender.
      Taking to her Instagram page afterwards, she said: “I have learned so much and will take on board all that I have learned for next year as I am so keen to go back and try even harder!
      “Bring on getting myself back in routine now that I am home! Refocusing and getting back in that gym after too many weeks off! 💪 I can’t wait to see you girls! Until we meet again ❤”

      Fury, 8-0, was last in action in an exhibition on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather vs Deji against Rolly Lambert.

      Paul said: “The moment of truth has finally arrived.

      The pair have been on a collision course for months as the fight was originally scheduled to take place in October.
      But an injury to Beterbiev set the fight back until the end of January.
      Yarde has fought for a world title before, losing by knockout to Sergey Kovalev back in 2019.
      But he had some BIG chances to put away his Russian opponent, but seemed to lack the experience to take the opportunity.
      The London man then fought twice with Lyndon Arthur, losing the first on points before winning the second via knockout.
      Beterbiev is 18-0 as a professional and has won every single one of his fights by knockout.
      It’s no surprise he is avoided by most – so Yarde already deserves some plaudits for taking on the beast

      What has been said?
      “Since I’ve started boxing I’ve not had more than one week out of the gym,” Yarde said.
      “Beterbiev had more than 200 amateur fights and 18 professional, but I’m going to be sharp and focused.
      “In the light-heavyweight division, he has been nothing but a wrecking ball, knocking out every opponent so far.
      “He’s very powerful but I feel I’m faster and, by age, I’m fresher, but in experience, I’m behind him.”
      SunSport Prediction
      What we DO know is this is a real battle of the bangers.
      There is no doubt Yarde could hurt Beterbiev – but the Russian-born-Canadian-living beast just seems a different breed.

      Apple TV ‘enter fight for Premier League rights as they prepare to go to war with Sky Sports and BT Sport’

      However, that three-year package expires in 2025.
      That means that the tender process for the next set of rights is due to begin later this year.
      Now the Daily Mail states that a new rival is preparing a bid.
      And they claim that Apple TV’s offer could “transform the way” that the Premier League is broadcast on these shores.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      The “tech giant are looking to increase their live football coverage”.
      They have already secured a ten-year contract, which begins in February, to broadcast Major League Soccer from the USA.
      Apple TV have also dabbled previously with the Premier League when making their recent The War for Football documentary about the failed European Super League breakaway.
      A number of English clubs, such as Chelsea’s Todd Boehly, are now owned by Americans.

      And they are certain that the current £5.1billion over three years for the current rights are undervalued.
