      Smith, 54, is facing off with GB News panellist Adam Brooks on KSI’s Misfits Boxing 011.
      However, he ahead of the fight he has admitted Smith was not his first choice bout.
      Instead, he was targeting a fight with John Fury, the father of heavyweight champion Tyson and ex-Love Island star Tommy.
      But this fight was a non-starter after he was told he was too heavy for him by Misfits’ co-president Mams Taylor.

      Though that has not dulled his excitement for his influencer boxing debut.
      Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: “I’m extremely excited, this is for Misfits Boxing, KSI is obviously huge here.
      “The youngsters are into this, it’s crazy the following they have. Myself and Mams were speaking, I said, ‘I would love to fight John Fury.’
      “But he said, ‘what? He’s 100 pounds heavier than you!’ He said, ‘how much do you weigh?’

      “And when I told him how much I weighed, he said, ‘there’s no way we can match you up, he’s 100 pounds heavier than you.’
      “And I said, ‘well is there anyone else?’ So he said, ‘leave it with me and I’ll get back to you’, and long story short, about four weeks ago, he said, ‘can you get down to 173lbs?’
      “That’s 12st 5lbs, and I haven’t been that light since I was 17-years-old, I’m 54 now.
      “But consistency is key, I cleaned up my diet a little bit, dropped a few pounds, increased the sparring and the running and we’re all on schedule.”
      Smith spent four years on Gladiators between 1995 and 1999.
      He has turned in his lowest body weight in 37 years for tonight’s fight.
      Regardless he has a plan to bear Brooks, who stopped Bachir Fakhouri in a charity fight in September.
      He said: “If he comes for a war and comes out swinging straight away, we’re prepared for that.
      “If he comes out to box and is more stand-offish and wants to box throughout the rounds, we’re prepared for that.
      “Have I seen any footage? Not really. He’s undefeated, he had a 30-second knockout in September, there’s not much really to go on.”
      The main card for tonight’s event will get going from 7pm. More

      And said she had been acting weirdly of lateCredit: Instagram @lanarhoades
      She did so during an interview with Fred Talks Boxing.
      Elle said she is planning to fight on the first quarter of next year as she plans a return to boxing.
      That comes after she seemingly walked away from the fighting game in order to focus on commentating.
      But the money appears to be in the big fights so talk naturally turned to who Elle would next face in the ring.

      Freddie asked Elle if there were any influencers she would fight in America in order to “broaden her fan base”.
      Precedent has been set by fellow influencers such as KSI who fought Logan Paul in 2018 and 2019.
      The fight allowed the two to merge their two audiences and create the hugely successful Prime drink.
      Elle Brooke spoke of her prospective American opponents and said: “We’ll try and get Riley Reid, Lana Rhoades is a bit weird now so maybe we can rope her back to reality.”

      After Freddie said: “Lana’s cool…” Brooke responded by saying: “She’s a helmet…. She’s a bit strange…. So we’ll rake her in.”
      Fans in the comment section were not thrilled at the idea of the two going toe to toe.
      One fan commented: “I don’t want to see Lana Rhoades fight…”
      Another wrote: “Wtf, she’s a mum [Lana Rhoades]… Leave her alone.”
      While a third commented: “Both of y’all are weird tf.”

      Boxing ring girl Apollonia Llewellyn labelled ‘absolutely gorgeous’ as she puts on busty display in tiny bikini

      by

      FANS believe their favourite fruity boxing ring girl can keep them healthy by providing two of their five a day… an Apoll and a beach! Influencer Apollonia Llewellyn claimed she is “back to living on the beach for the foreseeable” as she posed in a tiny bikini for a tanned snap.

      The Misfits star seemed to be bearing up well to her location revelation as she stood smiling indoors with the sea behind her in Los Angeles.
      The social media sensation’s coastal confession even sparked a debate amongst her admirers about the best place to live.
      But after looking at her bronzed images, the verdict from her fans appeared to be it was not so much “where” you go but “with whom”.
      “Wish I was with you,” said one, speaking on behalf of many – who all felt they would be, er, Los in paradise with her in LA.

      But one enthusiast did answer with an emphatic emphasis on geography: “Ocean or lake beach is best place to live.”
      Fans called Apollonia, 24, “super woman” and “absolutely gorgeous”.
      And another claimed: “You always take my breath away.”
      Earlier in the week, the swimwear model from Leeds shared photos from an altogether different locale – murky Manchester.

      And although she still only dressed in a white mini-skirt and low-cut black top, she did at least make a passing nod to the wintry weather – by adding a bucket hat to her outfit.
      But wherever Apollonia she is, she reigns and shines in the minds of her army of online admirers, including 5.2milion followers on Facebook.

      Inside Jake Paul’s ‘worst’ training camp for Tommy Fury, from struggling to breathe to hurting over Julia Rose split

      by

      JAKE PAUL ignored pleas to pull out of his fight against Tommy Fury after having the “worst” training camp of his life. Paul was beaten via split-decision in the Saudi Arabia grudge match and gave a host of excuses for his loss.

      That included a bizarre WET DREAM the night before the bout while also complaining of an arm injury.
      But trainer Danny Smith – who is now not working with the American – claimed Paul was seriously ill in the build up but refused to withdraw.
      Smith said on the Full Disclosure podcast: “The thing about Jake in that fight is, he had Covid.
      “We maybe sparred maybe four times for the fight. We left our training camp in Puerto Rico, went to Dubai, we ran maybe only three times.

      “I mean it was one of those situations where we shouldn’t really have been fighting because of the sickness.
      “And coming down the stretch two weeks before the fight he had hurt his shoulder so we only sparred maybe two times.
      “It was the worst camp we ever had and Jake didn’t want to pull out of this fight because he didn’t know if Tommy would come back and take it.”
      Fury, 24, had twice pulled out of the bout beforehand due to a rib injury and US visa issue.

      So it left Paul refusing to risk another cancellation despite Smith saying he had an EKG – which checks for signs of heart disease.
      The coach continued: “We had to have an EKG because he was having some issues breathing. This was like three weeks before the fight.
      “He went to see a doctor with his dad and we all talked and was like, ‘Hey man, he doesn’t need to be fighting.’
      “We didn’t know what was going on with his heart with the Covid, we don’t know what will happen in the ring, if he’ll get tired we just didn’t know.
      “His dad was in agreeance and when he had the EGK and they said it was OK and he had the clear, we made weight by sitting in the steam room two times a day.”
      Smith also said Paul was suffering from a break up with his influencer ex-girlfriend Julia Rose during preparations to fight Fury.

      He added: “He had just broke up with his girlfriend so he was highly emotional. That was damaging.
      “And I didn’t know how bad it was because Jake’s a pretty private guy and very tough guy, strong mentality and will.
      “He doesn’t share a lot and things that really bother him. But he told me one time, he didn’t look so hot in sparring and he was feeling bad over Julia and things like that.
      “And I was like, ‘Well I understand and I’m glad you’ve told me now but I wish you told me before sparring so we could’ve made adjustments’.”
      Paul, 26, bounced back from defeat to Fury and in August beat ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, over eight rounds.
      And before the comeback victory he went public with new girlfriend Jutta Leerdam, a 24-year-old Dutch speedskater.

      But he split from Smith after his first boxing loss and instead linked up with Theo Chambers of the famed Kronk gym in Detroit.

      He even messaged his old rival following the win against KSI, which he was ringside in Manchester for.
      Fury recently told the Daily Mail: “He messaged me the other day and said, ‘Congratulations brother, you know, I could tell there’s something wrong with your hand.’ All this sort of stuff, being extra nice.
      “Trying to get that fight on. At the end of the day, it’s one of them, I think the fight is inevitable.
      “He knows that I’m his biggest draw and for me now sitting at the top I’ve done things that he hasn’t.
      “Him and KSI have been talking about fighting for years, I’ve literally came and inside 12 months beat the pair of them, on their own show.
      “So I don’t know, it is what it is. It’s my choice now, no matter what I’m the head of the crossover thing now.
      “It’s alright me saying it because I’ve beat the two best men in it. So whoever I want to fight next it’s up to me. I can pick and choose these guys.”

      And only a month later, he defeated WWE icon Rey Mysterio to win the United States Championship.
      The winning streak has left Paul with a decision on how he will commit his future.
      And he told Fox Business: “I think I’m retired from boxing.
      “I’ve done enough going fully undefeated at 25-0. I’m going to be a wrestler now.

      “No more money in boxing, every company is going broke. Full-time wrestler. Beat Rey Mysterio. Fair and square for the US Championship.
      “It feels great. It was a dominant performance. Some frog splashes, some punches, it feels good.”
      Paul, 28, first stepped into boxing in 2018 and drew against KSI, 30, only to lose the rematch a year later when they turned professional.
      The pair are now friends and business partners following the launch of their Prime hydration drink.

      Paul also faced boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, 46, in a 2021 exhibition and beat Danis, 30, over six rounds.

      Despite Paul’s boxing future looking in doubt, he has no shortage of challengers in the WWE.
      He said: “I have to defend this belt. There are going to be people coming after me. Seth Rollins, LA Knight, Cody Rhodes.
      “Whoever wants it, they can come get it. Mr. Bad Bunny. Whoever wants it can come get it. I have stuff to do in WWE.”
