      KSI’s boxing promoter to reach out to Tommy Fury’s team as blockbuster rematch ‘absolutely make sense’

      by

      KSI’s boxing promoter plans talks with Tommy Fury’s dad John – as a mega-money rematch remains on the cards. Fury in October escaped the Manchester Arena with a controversial points win over six rounds to hand KSI his first ever defeat.

      But the disputed result only made the feud between the pair uglier.
      Fury claimed he “HATES” his boxing rival while KSI admitted he would happily never see the ex-Love Island star in a big fight again.
      The man in the middle of negotiations last year was Kalle Sauerland, who promotes KSI’s Misfits Boxing but has also worked with the Furys.
      So Sauerland is plotting a catch up with John amid speculation of a rematch between son Tommy, 24, and KSI, 30.

      He told SunSport: “I’ll give John a call in the next couple of weeks and see what he’s doing. 
      “We talks to the Furys a lot. We’ve promoted Roman Fury, dealt with John on that, get on great with Tyson as well. 
      “They’re a boxing family so we talk. We’re enemies when it comes to the fight but we got the deal done when a lot of people in this space said, ‘You’ll never get a deal done.'” 
      Promoters boasted of selling 1.3million pay-per-views at £20 a pop for the grudge match, which at those estimations raked in over £25MILLION.

      So Sauerland – who formerly promoted heavyweight legend Wladimir Klitschko – would be licking his lips at a rerun.
      But even the veteran promoter is still getting to grips with the new age of influencer boxing which is full of more ego than sense.
      On the potential of a rematch, Sauerland said: “That’s how I would think, because that’s the traditional path. I can’t read this space. 
      “From a traditional sense, the rematch would absolutely make sense. But is it going to happen in this space? We’ll see.” 
      Following his first loss, KSI took time away from boxing having also failed in an appeal of the result.

      But he confirmed he will return to the ring this year and is in no shortage of blockbuster opponents to welcome him back.
      Sauerland said: “This year there’s some big ones out there, whether it’s Jake Paul, Conor McGregor, another Tommy fight. 
      “There’s huge fights out there and JJ knows this space better than anyone.
      “He’s the godfather of this space, building up a multi, multimillion fanbase outside of boxing. 
      “That’s the audience and that’s what’s going to guide him in. It’s different to traditional where you look at the different world title routes.

      “This is about creating big fights and the ones that I know are Jake Paul, Conor McGregor, Tommy Fury.
      “But they know this space better than me. I’m happy to come in and make these fights but we’ll see who it is.” More

      Elle Brooke admits she ‘loves and adores’ AJ Bunker despite brutal KO… and now calls to join forces for tag-team fight

      by

      ELLE BROOKE says she loves and adores AJ Bunker despite knocking her out – and now wants to join forces for a tag-team fight. The pair of influencers-turned boxers first collided in the summer of 2022 when Brooke won a points decision.

      So on the surface it looked as though the bad blood was brewing ahead of a rematch in Leeds at Misfits 12.
      Brooke eventually stopped Bunker with a brutal right hand but the two hugged it out post-fight.
      And now the dust has settled, OnlyFans star Brooke revealed her admiration for Bunker, who she now wants to team up with.
      She told SunSport: “I adore AJ, I really adore her. I loved seeing her win her title in Newcastle in September.

      “I genuinely love her and when you’re in fight mode, that week I’m not going to lie to you she was my worst enemy, you have to be in fight mode, I’m fighting her.
      “But put that aside, I’m a really big fan of her and I’d like to do a tag-team with her. That would be a really good story.”
      Brooke was beaten for the first time in her last fight in July, losing to Brazilian TikToker Jully Poca.
      So Brooke was in the mindset that consecutive defeats would have brought an end to her boxing career.

      She revealed: “I said that if I didn’t win this fight, then boxing’s not for me.
      “Even though I enjoy it and I absolutely adore it, I spend so much time and energy and it’s so mentally draining that if I’m not winning there’s no point it being in my life.
      “So I’m super happy I won. It was all or nothing, I want to be the best and if I was beaten twice then… I want to be the biggest, the baddest, the best, so I would’ve firmed it that boxing wasn’t for me.”
      Brooke was close to leaving the sport all together but admitted she now has never loved it so much.
      She said: “It wasn’t a pressure thing because I’d be happy either way. Boxing isn’t my only life – it is and it isn’t.
      “I had a life before that so ultimately after my last loss it made me fall out of love with boxing a little bit.
      ‘And now I’ve won, I’ve fallen in love with it all over again.”

      Bunker now has 130,000 fans on Instagram.
      Her defeat to Brooke moved her to a two-wins and three-defeats influencer boxing record.
      Meanwhile, Brooke admitted she would have hung up her gloves if she had lost.
      She said: “I just perform best on Misfits, I think this was just big fat karma for ever leaving. I was definitely going to quit if I lost this, so it’s a sign.”

      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.”

      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.

      Elle Brooke opens up on sisterhood with boxing mentor Ebanie Bridges despite being ‘separated’

      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.”
