      And Fury has plenty of people in attendance at the AO Arena supporting him tonight, including his brother Tyson.

      Fury’s fiancee Molly-Mae Hague is also expected to be in attendance, and is close friends with Higgins herself.
      TNT will be hoping he can put on the performance of his life in front of his loved ones tonight.
      KSI VS FURY
      Did Tommy Fury ever date Maura Higgins?
      Fury and Higgins met on the fifth season of Love Island in 2019 and hit it off immediately.
      Maura came in as a bombshell and made a beeline for Fury on the very first night.
      The pair flirted on a date while Molly-Mae, who was coupled up with Fury at the time, had to watch on.
      Higgins eventually tried to plant a kiss on Fury’s lips, but to no avail, with the Manchester boxer choosing to stay loyal to Molly-Mae.

      In the end, Fury stuck with Molly and chose to keep his relationship with Maura platonic, and the pair have NEVER dated.
      Molly-Mae and Maura are now good friends and the latter even watched Fury’s win over Jake Paul at the former’s house.
      The pair are likely to be sat next to each other tonight at KSI vs Fury.
      Fury is engaged to Molly-Mae and the pair welcomed their daughter Bambi to the world in February. More

      Why is Logan Paul’s fiancee Nina Agdal suing Dillon Danis?

      by

      Logan Paul is going head-to-head with Dillon Danis at the AO Arena in Manchester on October 14, so the hostility between the two fighters is to be expected.But what isn’t so commonplace is the fact Logan’s fiancee Nina Agdal is suing Danis — let’s take a look at what’s happened so far.
      Logan Paul’s fiancee Nina Agdal has started legal proceedings against Dillon DanisCredit: Instagram
      Why is Logan Paul’s fiancee Nina Agdal suing Dillon Danis?
      Nina Agdal, Logan Paul’s fiancee, went to the courts to take action against Dillon Danis following the fighter’s alleged social media harassment.
      Agdal claimed to have “suffered humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm” from Danis’ persistent tweets about her.
      A court has found in her favour and a temporary restraining order has been placed against Danis, reports TMZ.
      Dillon has been forbidden from posting content depicting or portraying Agdal that was never meant to be publicly shared — or which was obtained without consent.
      READ MORE ON LOGAN PAUL
      Danis’ friends and associates have been prohibited from sharing such content, too.
      What did Dillon Danis do?
      Danis has allegedly been harassing Logan Paul’s fiancee Nina Agdal on social media.
      He is also accused of sharing a 10-year-old X-rated photo of Agdal from a “romantic encounter” with one of her exes.
      The ruling prevents Danis from “posting content in any way depicting or portraying Plaintiff that Defendant knows or has reason to believe was never meant to be shared publicly or was obtained without consent, through the hacking of any of Plaintiff’s accounts or devices, or through any other illegal or unauthorised means.”
      Most read in Boxing
      Agdal also claims Danis hacked her private snapchat account to find and publish a video of the Danish model talking about wanting physical intimacy after a period of celibacy.
      Agdal is seeking damages of £120,000 per federal violation and has asked a judge to ban Danis from posting further sexually explicit images which could possibly harm her reputation.
      Responding to the lawsuit on X — formally Twitter — Danis said: “Nina Adgel [sic] has filed a massive lawsuit against me.
      “She filed a restraining order against me and is seeking prison time, so the fight is in jeopardy if I’m in jail.
      “This is actually wild but I won’t stop f*** the system come get me. Logan Paul is a dead man walking.”
      What has Logan Paul said about Dillon Danis?
      During a recent conversation on his brother’s podcast BS w/ Jake Paul, ‘The Maverick’ spoke about the financial situation Danis will land himself in if he loses his case against Agdal.
      Responding to this, former UFC heavyweight contender Brendan Schaub wrote on X: “This bums me out. First rule of fight club: 1. Don’t sue another fighter building the fight.”
      Paul replied: “It bums me out that 3 weeks ago I DM’d you Nina’s lawsuit details because of your ignorance & your response was ‘Oh Jesus. Did not know that. Not cool.’
      “Then you come on here talking about fight club rules like you’re the referee. This twisted ‘promotion’ has gone FAR beyond the fight game & you know that.
      “Plus I’m not the one suing him. He picked a fight with an innocent woman who is standing up for herself the only way she can: by holding a predator legally accountable for breaking the law — any person who doesn’t understand that is a delusional t***.
      Read More on The Sun
      “The lawsuit is HER choice, and I fully support her. Now I get to break his face in front of millions of people & ruin his entire life. Win win.”
      In spite of all the drama, Agdal’s lawsuit hasn’t stopped Danis from trolling Agdal — he continues to post pictures and degrading comments about Paul’s fiancee in an effort to ruffle the YouTuber’s feathers before the fight. More

      Why are England wearing black armbands against Australia?

      Why are England wearing black armbands against Australia?
      It’s the penultimate international break of 2023 and Gareth Southgate’s England are taking on Australia in a friendly at Wembley Stadium.
      Southgate’s men enter the contest unbeaten in their last six matches since the 2-1 defeat to France at the Qatar World Cup.
      England have won five during that run, scoring an impressive 19 goals and keeping three clean sheets — drawing only with Ukraine to spoil their 100% Euro 2024 qualification record.
      But because of the horrifying events playing out in the Middle East, both sets of players will wear black armbands during the match.

      The Three Lions take on the Soceroos on Friday October 13, 2023 at Wembley stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 7.45pm.

      How has the FA responded to the conflict in Israel?
      There will be a period of silence before the kick-off of the international friendly between England and Australia tonight.
      Flags showing support for both Israel and Palestine will not be allowed in the stadium at any point during the evening.
      The FA also made the decision not to illuminate the Wembley arch in the colours of Israel — as they did in support of Ukraine’s resistance against Russia’s unprovoked and illegal invasion.
      The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) wrote to the governing bodies of major UK sports on Wednesday October 11 to urge them to “mark appropriately” the atrocities.
      Secretary of State at the DCMS, Lucy Frazer, said she was “extremely disappointed” at the FA’s failure to show support for Israel.
      The FA is planning to apply the same rules for Tuesday’s Euro 24 qualifier against Italy at Wembley.
      Instead, inside Wembley the British Red Cross’ emergency appeal to support people affected by the humanitarian crisis will be promoted by the FA.
      History will also be made during the friendly against Australia as Stephanie Frappart becomes the first woman to referee a men’s international at Wembley Stadium. More

      Who is Ben Hatchett?
      Ben Hatchett, 34, is a professional bareknuckle boxer and social media personality.
      He also goes by the fighting nickname One Bomb.
      On the subject of bareknuckle boxing, Hatchett told the Daily Star: “It’s a professional sport… you have you get your blood tests and so on.
      “You need to have some sort of fight experience to get into it.
      READ MORE ON BOXING
      “I wouldn’t recommend anyone without any experience getting into bareknuckle”.
      He served time alongside monsters Ian Brady and Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe at Broadmoor Hospital.
      Ben was convicted for knife crimes as a teenager and was sent to Broadmoor after an attempted prison escape aged 21.
      After a few years, he was moved to another high-security facility at Ashworth Hospital, near Liverpool, but was released in 2020 and has turned his life around, now working as a boxer and running a successful YouTube podcast.
      Most read in Boxing
      In September Daniella Westbrook, 49, shared a video of herself lying between the sheets with ex con Ben – just weeks after confirming she was back with her fiancé David.
      In the video, a giggling Danniella says: “Guess what, do you want to know a secret?”
      She then pans over to Ben who laughs: “The cats out the bag.”
      Danniella adds: “It’s official.”
      She later shared another video and claimed it was an old video taken ‘years ago’ and she thought she was just sending to him as she insisted they are just friends.
      Hatchett also previously dated Jessie Wallace’s half-sister Danielle Mason after inviting her on his podcast and having their first date in Broadmoor.
      Speaking with the Daily Star about turning his life around following regaining his freedom, Ben said: “I came out with a dream in my head.
      “I was going to do a book I was going to do something positive in the world – I came out with the belief that I can change and be a better person and he can too, if he was just given the opportunity.
      “I was done for hostage taking,” he admits, “was on top of prison roofs, I was done for violence, I was kicked out of Broadmoor.
      “They deemed me high risk. I did nine months segregation for a plot to take lan Brady hostage but I came out and look what I’ve done now; I own a security company now, I am a professional fighter, I’ve gone and worked with kids.
      “These 4 letters gave me hope when I was inside – P.T.A.W., prove them all wrong.”
      What is Ben Hatchett’s boxing record?
      At present Ben’s professional bareknuckle boxing record stands at 1 win, 1 loss and 0 draws.
      His only win to date came by way of TKO, so his current knock-out ratio is 50%.
      In total he’s boxed 3 rounds, meaning his professional fights last 1.5 rounds on average.
      Aside from professional fights, it appears that Hatchett has been in a lot of bareknuckle contests, but information about these is often kept out of the public eye.
      Is Ben Hatchett fighting Ed Matthews?
      According to a video released on YouTube, Ben Hatchett and Ed Matthews will be going head-to-head.
      There is yet to be any concrete information about the bout released.
      The video just says the fight will be under the Backyard MMA banner and that it is “coming soon”.

      Yes, Ben is on social media.
      He hosts a YouTube podcast called Let’s Be Real.
