      Who is Harry Maguire’s fiancée Fern Hawkins and do they have children?

      by

      HARRY MAGUIRE has gotten himself in a spot of bother after reportedly getting arrested while on holiday in Mykonos with his stunning girlfriend Fern Hawkins.
      The Man Utd defender was allegedly put in handcuffs after a bust-up with cops while on the Greek island – leaving his partner with his two children as he spends time in the local police station.

      Who is Fern Hawkins?
      Fern Hawkins is Harry Maguire’s fiancée and has a Bachelor’s degree in science and physiotherapy, graduating with a First Class Honours in 2017.
      Like Harry, she’s from Sheffield, and the couple have been dating for just over nine years after getting together on June 19, 2011.
      Fern’s footballer beau isn’t the only target of her affections – Fern’s social media posts are littered with tributes to their adorable pet dog Simba.
      But it seems the England ace has done enough to win her heart.

      When did Fern and Harry become engaged?
      Fern and Harry got engaged on February 17, 2018.
      Fern revealed that he had asked her to marry him during a romantic getaway to Paris.
      She posted on Instagram: “On Saturday night, Harry made me the happiest girl in the world & asked me to marry him in the most perfect way.”
      During the 2018 World Cup, she was snapped wearing a stunning engagement ring as she travelled around Russia supporting her husband-to-be.

      She was frequently seen in the stands enjoying the Three Lions’ stirring performances with a beer, and Harry sought her out after games to pose for loved-up selfies.

      Do they have any children?
      Fern Hawkins gave birth to the couple’s first child on April 3, 2019 – naming their new daughter Lillie Saint Maguire.
      She came into the world exactly nine months after England beat Colombia on penalties at the World Cup.
      That Round of 16 clash sparked huge celebrations, while Maguire was also pictured in a famous photo with the future mother of his child.
      In May 2020, Fern gave birth to the couple’s second daughter – Piper Rose.

      Whyte vs Povetkin tale of the tape: How fighters compare ahead of heavyweight bout this weekend

      by

      DILLIAN Whyte  versus Alexander Povetkin is set to be the biggest fight of the summer with the heavyweights ready for battle this weekend. 
      The event is being held after being rescheduled twice and will now take place behind closed doors in the garden of Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Mansion in Essex.

      But how exactly do the heavyweights compare ahead of their bout?
      Whyte’s Career
      Whyte started his career as a professional kickboxer, his switch to boxing led to a record of 6-0, with a 5KO record.
      The Bodysnatcher famously defeated Anthony Joshua in the boxing amateur ranks in 2009, though Joshua avenged this defeat in the pros in 2015.
      He turned a pro boxer in 2011, with a 27-1 and 18KO’s and now this fight that’s leading him to put his WBC Interim World Heavyweight Title on the line.

      The 32-year-old has transformed himself following his loss to Joshua in 2015, which led to his 11-win streak against names like WBO World Champion Joseph Parker, Derek Chisora, and the previously unbeaten Cuban, Oscar Rivas.
      Whyte will be looking to cause his opponent some early problems as he gets used to the strength and skill during his 29th bout.
      Russian resilient Povetkin
      The 40-year-old seasoned vet Povetkin has had a different rise to the top having seemed to achieve it all.

      5

      The Russian’s team bought out the matching outfits ahead of the bout
      Winning 125 of his 132 bouts as an amateur, he has European Championships, World Championships and an Olympic Gold medal to his name.

      He’s replicated his success as a professional, winning the WBA World ‘Regular’ title in 2011.
      The title was previously held by David Haye before he left it vacant when he bid for the Super belt against Vladimir Klitschko.
      Whilst Whyte holds the advantage, Povetkin is the more experienced of the two so he won’t be willing to give it all away easily.
