    However, Apollonia revealed that she has been hit with a TikTok livestreaming ban after alleged “nudity and body exposure” violations during a live video on Thursday.
    Speaking to the Daily Star, Apollonia said: “I was wearing a white T-shirt that covered everything with no cleavage on show. It is absolutely ridiculous.
    “There was no warning, no nothing. I don’t know where the nudity has come from.
    “When it happened I was just so confused and didn’t really understand what was going on and when I clicked on it and it said I had been banned.

    “I was shocked because I haven’t done anything wrong. I would understand if I was sitting there in a bikini or whatever but that definitely wasn’t the case.
    “I was just getting my makeup done and answering questions, nothing like what they are thinking I have done.

    “It is just so frustrating because I was just sitting there in a T-shirt and I could understand it if I was exposed but I was literally completely covered.”
    Apollonia, originally from Leeds, uses social media to make her living and has almost 700,000 followers on TikTok and over 550,000 on Instagram.

    She also caught the eye while working for KSI owned Misfits boxing – which will see KSI fight Joe Fournier following a shoving match at their face-off earlier today.
    On the ban, a spokesperson for TikTok told the Star: “We can confirm that the account @apolloniallewellyn has been banned from livestreaming for violating our nudity and body exposure policy.
    “Our Community Guidelines are clear that we do not allow nudity, including nipples and areolas, on our platform.”
    The banning order sent to Apollonia by the video sharing site read: “We celebrate all shapes and sizes and what people want to feel comfortable in how they present themselves and their bodies.
    “We do not allow nudity, including uncovered genitals and buttocks, as well as nipples and areolas of women and girls. Sheer and partially see through clothing is not considered covered.”
    But Apollonia insists the ban “makes no sense” due to a number of fake accounts impersonating her which have not been given the same punishment.
    She argued: “So I use TikTok to post brand videos, fashion, bikini and swimwear and then I use the lives to interact with people so they know it is actually me because there are so many going on these other live videos and subscribing to accounts which just aren’t me.
    “I have had fans who said they have been paying someone who they thought was me thousands of pounds.
    “That is why I contacted TikTok to get verified so people know it is me but they are just not doing it.

    “The fake accounts can go live but I can’t… it just makes no sense…
    “This and the banning impacts me because I use the platform to get paid, this is my job, when I am on live I can earn gifts and I get subscribers and all that is now restricted.”

    KSI vs Joe Fournier tale of the tape: How YouTuber and pro boxer compare ahead of huge fight

    KSI and Joe Fournier are set to lock horns on Saturday at Wembley Arena. The British YouTuber is ready for the biggest boxing fight of his career as a win could set up a clash with fellow social media star Jake Paul.

    Coming off a stoppage win over FaZe Temperrr in January, the Londoner’s clash with Fournier represents a massive step up in opposition.
    That is because the influencer’s opponent is an actual professional boxer with an impressive record under his belt.
    KSI, 29, is much younger than his 40-year-old rival and the internet sensation is also a lot more inexperienced, especially at professional level.
    Fournier is undefeated as a pro having won nine boxing fights via knockout throughout his six-year career that kicked off in 2015.

    The Londoner’s only loss took place in 2021 when he was defeated by David Haye in an exhibition bout via unanimous decision.
    KSI, on the other hand, has had only one professional bout which he won against Logan Paul in 2019.
    The Brit went on to win one amateur bout against Joe Weller and three exhibition fights, all by knockout.
    That means KSI is undefeated across the board, but he has had five fewer matches than Fournier, who is still unbeaten as a pro.

    The two fighters are set for their official weigh-in on Friday but the most recent scales showed Fournier is heavier than his fellow Brit by one-and-a-half stone.
    KSI is taller but both men have the exact same reach heading to their fight.
    A win over pro boxer Fournier, would give KSI a one-up over Jake, who failed in his quest to defeat Tommy Fury earlier this year. More

    KSI’s coach warns Jake Paul and Tommy Fury that YouTuber is ‘heavy-handed’ and KNOCKING OUT ‘legit boxers’ in sparring

    KSI is so heavy-handed he is knocking out legitimate competition in the gym, his trainer Alexis Demetriades said. The YouTube star first linked up with Demetriades at the London Shootfighters gym three years ago, before making his boxing return.

    The pair now enter their toughest test together, against millionaire nightclub tycoon-turned 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier on Saturday.
    And KSI has been put through his paces in the gym to prepare, which he has brutally passed with flying colours.

    Demetriades told SunSport: “He’s naturally an aggressive person and he’s got very heavy hands
    “That’s coming from somebody who has coached at a world-class level, the kid is actually heavy-handed.

    “He’s sparring professional boxers, that are 12-0, 13-0 and he’s holding his own. He’s knocking guys out, legit boxers, who are 7-0s, 8-0s.
    “And he’s doing it in 20-ounce gloves because the kid punches hard, legitimately.”
    KSI – nicknamed JJ – has been building a reputation for himself behind closed doors in secret sparring sessions.
    Demetriades revealed: “One hundred per cent, there’s loads of people that will tell you about JJ’s sparring.

    “Ask Idris Virgo, who is 13-0, he’ll tell you.”
    KSI, 29, has boxed six times with five wins and one draw, which came to Logan Paul, 28, in 2018 but was avenged in their rematch.
    The Londoner has other wins over YouTubers, Joe Weller and Faze Temperr as well as boxer Luis Pineda and rapper Swarmz.
    But Fournier, 40, will be his first opponent with professional boxing experience and as a result may allow KSI to flurish.
    Demetriades said: “I think you find timing on someone who has timing. When a guy throws a straight punch, you can get timing on that.
    “I think when Joe comes out and throws traditional punches, JJ will get his timing.”
    KSI had hoped to finally settle his bitter score with Jake Paul, 26, in a grudge match at the end of the year.
    But Paul, 26, suffered his first defeat in February, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.
    He’s sparring professional boxers, that are 12-0, 13-0 and he’s holding his own. He’s knocking guys out, legit boxers, who are 7-0s, 8-0s.KSI’s coach Alexis Demetriades
    The American is now set to return on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.
    So KSI has revealed he is now setting his sights on fighting Fury and has the backing of his coach.
    Demetriades said: “I think Tommy Fury is a massively interesting fight as well.
    “If you put him in a fight for the British title, do you think Tommy could win the British title at that weight? No, no way.
    “So he’s found the right place to be, the influencer space is right for Tommy and I think stylistically, he’s right for JJ as well.”
    Fury – brother to heavyweight champion Tyson – proved a step too far for prankster-gone puncher Paul.
    But Demetriades has no fear in putting KSI in there with the 9-0 former Love Islander.
    He said: “You’ve got to go down the Tommy Fury route because he’s the guy that beat Jake Paul.
    “And, he barely beat him, right? As in the judges gave it a split, however you might have looked at it, it was a split-decision.

    “So you’ve got to think that’s within your reach if you think you can knock out Jake Paul, from a boxing mathematics point of view.”

    The aim of the drill is to build up muscles in the neck, making it easier to withstand punches.
    Tyson – the youngest heavyweight champion aged 20 – once had a 20-INCH neck by 18.

    “I think that aggression, look at Ryan Garcia, look how he got knocked out, because he was too aggressive.”

    But those plans look to have faced the KO after Paul was beaten by Fury in February by split-decision in Saudi Arabia.

    He tweeted: “I’d much rather fight and beat Tommy Fury so I can ruin Jake Paul’s legacy.”

    He told SunSport: “I want Tommy Fury, simple as that. I’m not going to waste my time with Jake Paul.
    “He wants to fight Nate Diaz, an MMA fighter who isn’t known for his boxing; black belt in jujitsu, blah, blah, blah.
    “Maybe in the UFC ring it would be a bit more entertaining, in the MMA ring yeah, but in the boxing ring everyone just knows Jake is going to win that.
    “I’m not just going to waste my time, I’m going to go straight for Tommy and do what Jake Paul couldn’t.”
    KSI returns on Saturday at Wembley Arena against millionaire nightclub tycoon-turned 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40.
    But in the background, his promoter Kalle Sauerland revealed ongoing negotiations with Fury and his dad John.
    Although Paul spoke out at the Miami Grand Prix to claim he WILL rematch Fury down the line.
    He told Sky Sports: “It’s going to happen, it’s going to happen for sure.
    “I think it was a great fight, it was entertaining, it was the biggest pay-per-view buys in boxing for the last two years so I think we have to run it back.

    “Tommy is down and I’m excited for that.”

    But in recent years he has become more well known as an internet personality, who has been accused of voicing misogynic views.
    YouTube star and crossover boxer KSI has been critical of Tate in the past, leading to a feud between the two.
    And after sparring footage was shared of the American-born Brit, KSI was quick to fire a dig.
    He tweeted: “From watching this, I would absolutely DESTROY Andrew Tate. Watch me on May 13th for those that don’t believe me.”

    In the clip, Tate takes some shots to the face and stomach before dropping his sparring partner with a body shot.
    And in response to KSI’s criticsm, he responded: “I was literally teaching him and telling him what to do. I wasn’t even punching back.”
    KSI, 29, returns to the ring on Saturday against millionaire nightclub tycoon and 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40, at Wembley Arena.
    Meanwhile Tate, 36, is currently serving house arrest with his younger brother Tristan, 34, pending a criminal investigation.

    They were in December arrested in Bucharest with two Romanian women on suspicion of human trafficking, organised crime and rape.
    They have all denied the allegations.
    The Tate brothers spent three months in prison before being released and placed under house arrest at the end of March.
    This followed the winning of an appeal against a judge who decided to extend his time in jail for another month.
    Their house arrest has been extended for another 30 days by a Romanian court as charges have still not been brought against them.
    The latest extension to their house arrest means the Tate brothers cannot leave their homes before May 29.

    “Because, every time we do it terrifies our opponent and then they pull out. Happened with Alex Wassabi, happened with Dillon Danis.
