    YouTube boxing BLOCKED from Saudi Arabia in huge blow for Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury

    YOUTUBE boxing is to be BLOCKED from coming to Saudi Arabia. In recent years, mega-money bouts have been prised over to the Middle East, with Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder all involved.

    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.

    There has been bad blood between the pair since July 2022 when Brooke beat Bunker on points.
    The two have since gone back and forth and tempers flared at the pre-fight open workout out.
    OnlyFans star Brooke exchanged words with former Love Islander Bunker before trying to smash a microphone in her face.
    The bout will not only have Bunker’s Misfits Boxing belt on the line but it also carries bragging rights with it.

    Brooke told SunSport: “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.”

    The duo came head to head in September last year at a Misfits event in Newcastle and had to be separated following a foul-mouthed exchange.
    Brooke added: “She’s just rude. She’s going after my job, she’s making up lies, she’s just trying to make me look bad. 
    “So why would I not defend myself? Obviously it’s personal and I want to win again because that’s what I’m made to do, that’s what I’m built to do.”

    And the two prepare to rematch at Misfits 12 in Leeds on Saturday.
    Much has changed since their first fight but nothing more so than Brooke’s lifestyle out of the ring.
    She told SunSport: “I’ve said this before but I was a party girl.
    “I was a really bad party girl, any substance I could find I was putting up my nose, I was taking it to the max.

    “Whereas now, I don’t drink, I’ve had 18 months sober, or a year, and now I just live a boring life.
    “I don’t go out on the weekends because I’m too focused on my eating and my training habits.
    “My circle has got a lot smaller, I don’t see as many people as I did once before because I’m just not in that lifestyle of partying and going out anymore.
    “So my life has got so boring, I’m married to my house. I’m honestly in these four walls constantly, it’s work, work, work for me.”

    Brooke admits to suffering from depression before boxing helped turn herself around.
    “It’s two polar opposites really,” she says when comparing her past and current life.
    “From going out every week to the pub, going clubbing, sniffing tons of cocaine, ketamine, anything you can find to the other side, watching what you put in your body, dieting, health and exercise, regular routine.
    “Routine is my favourite things about boxing because it gives me a reason to wake up in the morning. It gives me structure for the day.
    “I think I would 100 per cent be living the same lifestyle. Maybe not as crazy because I’ve aged 18 months, I’m not in my early 20s anymore.

    “But 100 per cent I’d still be going out, to Ibiza and stuff like that. I’ve had to cancel so many holidays and that kind of thing. It’s been a complete 180 really.
    “I was at one point on antidepressants, taking sertraline before I started boxing.
    “So I was relying on a pill everyday to make me happy and so I didn’t have like dark, suicidal thoughts whereas now I have those good days and I have those bad days but it’s more about training and what I’m focusing on.
    “So boxing really has changed my life. From being depressed and – I wouldn’t say a drug addict because I wasn’t a drug addict – but a party animal, to where I am now, it’s been a journey.”
    Brooke, 26, has rivalled Bunker, 31, ever since her original win nearly two years ago with the bad blood brewing.
    She 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.

    Love Island star Jack Fincham says he will fight KSI for FREE and claims he is a better boxer than Tommy Fury

    JACK FINCHAM has offered to fight KSI for FREE – and claimed he is a better boxer than Tommy Fury. Fury became the first to beat YouTuber-turned boxer KSI after a scrappy six-round decision.

    The 2019 Love Islander admitted it was purely a money fight.
    But Fincham – who won the ITV reality show a year before Fury’s stint – insisted he would box KSI for nothing.
    He told BritishGambler.co.uk: “I’m not saying this to put it out there for loads of money; I’ll fight him for nothing.
    “I will fight him for free to prove the point.”
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    Fury, 24, beat social media sensation Jake Paul, 26, last February by split-decision in Saudi Arabia.
    But his victory over KSI, 30, in November was for less convincing and the result divided opinions.
    Fincham, 31, said: “I’m just gonna say this honestly, because while in the boxing world he has transferred over to being professional.
    “I have a lot more experience than KSI, and going off his last performance and watching how Tommy dealt with that – I’ve got more experience than him as well from doing amateur fights as well.

    “I watched it and would have dealt with it so differently and would have beaten him [KSI] clearly.
    “It’s questionable if Tommy even won that to be honest.”
    Fincham and Fury are not the only Love Island contestants to have boxed.
    Idris Virgo, 30, is unbeaten and currently signed to KSI’s Misfits Boxing banner.
    And Fincham – who had 26 amateur bouts as a youngster – rated himself and Virgo above 10-0 Fury in terms of skill.
    He said: “Tommy’s third. I’d say for me the first is probably Idris Virgo for boxers that have been on Love Island. Idris first, me second and Tommy third.
    “That’s just me being honest and nothing against Tommy because I like him as a person, but boxing-wise, he’s good but he’s not out of this world. He’s just got a massive following; he’s a Fury at the end of the day.
    “He can box, he’s a good fighter, he’s strong, he’s in good shape, he dedicates himself but put it this way – he’s not unbeatable.
