    The super-fit reality TV legend has been teasing a switch to boxing in a series of cryptic social media posts.
    But now SunSport can confirm Essex has been in talks with KSI’s manager and co-founder of Misfits Boxing, Mams Taylor.
    Taylor said: “He’s got family background in boxing so I think he’s excited to get in the ring and we’re excited to have him. 
    “Joey’s going to be very committed, we’ve spoken daily for the last few days and he’s really on it.” 
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    Ever since launching in the summer of 2022, Misfits has been the home to crossover and celebrity-style fights.
    So Essex – who first shot to fame on ITV’s hit show TOWIE – will have no shortage of famous opponents lining up to face him.
    Taylor said: “I’ve got a list for him and we’re going to go through it and figure it out.” 
    Essex, 33, was quick to call out YouTuber-turned boxer KSI, 30, but Taylor insisted the fight is not yet on the horizon.

    He said: “No disrespect to Joey Essex but I don’t think it would be fair to him to make his debut against KSI and I don’t think it would be right for KSI to go from Tommy Fury to Joey Essex. 
    “If Joey builds up, has a good few fights and develops a lot of skill and it will be a fair fight and a challenge for both of them, then anything is possible down the line. But for now, that’s not the fight.” 
    Essex insisted he would “WALLOP” KSI and claimed there is friction between the pair.
    And Taylor added: “I think there’s an underlying little tension there between them. 
    “I don’t think resolving it in the ring is the right thing to do now for Joey, I don’t think it’s right for KSI either. 
    ‘But down the line let’s see what happens, watch that space.
    “I don’t know why they have any rivalry or beef but it’s interesting. Sometimes these things develop on their own.” More

    And Bridges would go onto corner the social media star while helping her in training and sparring.
    The two have even shot racy content together on OnlyFans but Bridges has now switched to Dave Coldwell’s gym in Rotherham.
    Brooke, 26, told SunSport: “She’s still my mentor, 100 per cent. 
    “I don’t see her as much, obviously she was training for her fight and she’s up North now so we’re separated.

    “If she was round the corner we’d see each other all the time but we’re still such good friends, we’re like sisters. 
    “She’s less involved with the boxing now but she’s always there for me mentally and she’s honestly the biggest and the best hype woman in the world. I can always go to her for advice.” 
    Brooke bravely opened up on how a party lifestyle drove her to drugs and depression – before boxing helped turn her life around.
    The sport also introduced her to soul sister Bridges and the rest of Tibbs’ stable.

    She said: “If it wasn’t for boxing I would’ve never have met her.
    “I would never have moved to Essex, I would never have met Ebanie, never have met some of the boys in the gym. 
    “And because I don’t go out on the weekends, they’re the ones I rely one for company a lot of the time. My life revolves around boxing now.” 
    Brooke makes her return in Leeds on Misfits 12 against ex-Love Islander AJ Bunker, who she beat in 2022.
    The bad blood has since brewed so bragging rights will also be on the line as well as Bunker’s Misfits belt.
    Brooke said: “We know of each other now. When we first fought it was just someone else in the influencer scene to take on that fight. 
    “Whereas now she’s champ, I’ve already beat her and it’s her opportunity for redemption, my opportunity to win the belt and that’s the story. 
    “We also aren’t that fond of each other, so it’s got great ingredients for a good fight.”

    But no influence has been bigger than His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi.
    He is in control of boxing in the region and has managed to even have feuding promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren work together.
    His Excellency wants everyone in the sport to collaborate – but it will not cross over to the new age of influencer boxing.
    He told DAZN: “Please, we don’t want any YouTuber fight again. I don’t talk about names.

    “I want fighters, I want fighters, this is what I support.”
    It could come as a blow to the likes of KSI, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury.
    Fury, 24, last year beat both the social media sensations and remains linked with rematches.
    His grudge match with Paul, 27, was even staged in Riyadh and saw him win a split-decision.

    American Paul has since distanced himself from the crossover boxing scene to head into a more traditional route.
    His last fight was against professional boxer Andre August, 35, which he won by first-round knockout.
    Paul returns on March 2 on the undercard of Amanda Serrano’s Puerto Rico homecoming and will do so against another boxer.
    KSI, 30, is meanwhile taking time away from the sport following his controversial loss to Fury.
    But he will always be in line for a blockbuster bout with Paul following years of feuding between the pair.
    They were even in talks to fight in Saudi in 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic KO’d those plans.
