      On the decision to move to LA, she told women’s magazine Elle: “I felt like acting was the only way I was able to express myself. I could step into these other roles and understand a little more about empathy.
      “It’s definitely an escape – that’s what turned me onto it. And once I finally started to get callbacks and saw that my work was paying off, it felt almost addicting.”
      However, it has not all been plain sailing.
      Alexxis has revealed that her mixed-ancestry has seen her struggle to land some acting roles, being perceived as “too Latin” for some Caucasian roles and “not Latin enough” for others.

      KSI has promised to shock fans by producing a shocking victory, with many favouring Fury to get the job done.
      While Fury is certain he will be walking away from the ring with another big scalp, following his win over Jake Paul in February.
      If KSI wants to win, he’ll have to uphold the values of the four powerful words he has tattooed on his body.
      What do KSI’s tattoos mean?
      KSI has just four tattoos on his body, and they have all come in the last few years.
      KSI VS FURY
      Previously choosing to rock the non-tattooed look, KSI got his first piece of ink in 2017.
      KSI’s most prominent tattoo is the word ‘Knowledge’ which is emblazoned across his chest.
      He also has ‘Strength’ on his left arm and ‘Integrity’ on his right arm.
      KSI’s fourth tattoo is scribbled across his back
      Many have pointed out that the three words are an acronym of his name KSI, but it’s not where his name comes from.
      Most read in Boxing
      KSIOlajideBT was his original YouTube name and he pointed out that the KSI part came from his Halo clan.
      KSI also has a fourth tattoo on his back, which is the word ‘Legacy’.
      He tweeted out a picture of the tattoo with the words ‘What it’s all about’. More

      Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis fight predictions: Boxing and MMA world make their picks for huge Misfits bout

      by

      LOGAN PAUL and Dillon Danis are on the verge of a grudge match that has threatened to cross several lines. The two co-headline in Manchester on Saturday night before KSI takes on Tommy Fury.

      The build up to the all-American battle has been bitter with Danis going after Paul’s model fiancee Nina Agdal online.
      It has led to Agdal filing a lawsuit against the jujitsu champion-turned MMA star ahead of her partner’s bout.
      Fans have been eagerly anticipating the conclusion of the feud and here, SunSport reveals how the experts think it will go.
      Conor McGregor
      Danis shot to fame as McGregor’s grappling partner and the pair were due to train together for the boxing match.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      In the end, their schedules didn’t match up but it is no shock McGregor is backing his close friend.
      He told All Out Fighting: “Dillon’s gonna win, Dillon will win.”
      Prediction… Danis by any means necessary

      Jake Paul
      The younger Paul started the beef with Danis and was once set to fight him – but he is confident his big brother will get the job done.

      He told the Nelk Boys: “Logan is a really good boxer and he’s really athletic and he’s really strong.
      “He’s had experience being in the ring with Floyd Mayweather for eight rounds. So when it’s all said and done I believe Logan’s going to knock him out.”
      Prediction… Paul KO

      Eddie Hearn
      Hearn promoted KSI’s 2019 rematch win over Paul but has stepped away from the influencer boxing scene.
      But he keeps a keen interest on Misfits Boxing and has backed Paul to beat Danis.
      He told Pro Boxing Fans: “Logan Paul wins that fight.”
      Prediction… Paul win

      Viddal Riley
      The English cruiserweight champion coached KSI to victory over Paul but he does not give Danis a chance of repeating the result.
      He told the Daily Mail: “Dillon Danis has never proven that he’s effective with punching. We know that he’s a jiu-jitsu specialist. 
      “But when it comes to throwing strikes, I’ve never seen anything that makes me think he can stop someone like Logan attacking him. So, I see a Logan Paul win.”

      He said: “I like Logan a lot, great kid. But, who in this room thinks that’s a great fight.
      “Raise your hands please if you think him vs Dillon Danis is a great fight. Nobody, not one guy?”
      Prediction… Nobody wins – including the fans

      But he snubbed an immediate rematch to instead return with a victory over ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, in August.
      Meanwhile Fury now faces Paul’s arch rival KSI on Saturday in Manchester.
      But according to Paul himself, he has set out to rematch Fury next year after the pair exchanged unlikely direct messages online.
      He said on NELK Boys podcast: “We’re in talks. We’ve DMd back and forth like, ‘Let’s do the rematch in 2024.’ So he’s down.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Paul, 26, then claimed no matter the result of KSI’s fight with Fury, he still wants to settle their bitter feud in the ring.
      He said: “Look Tommy, KSI, whatever happens there both of those fights I want.
      “I want both of them regardless of what happens. Yes, win lose or draw I want the Tommy Fury rematch and I want to fight KSI.”
      KSI, 30, insisted that he turned his attention to Fury after failing in talks to fight Paul, whose brother Logan, 28, lost to the Londoner in 2019.

      And KSI hinted he could retire from boxing if he beats 24-year-old Fury in a bid to further wind up his arch enemy.
      But Paul has urged KSI to fight him no matter what happens this Saturday.
      He said: “KSI if you beat Tommy go crazy bro, let that s*** rub your ego, say whatever you want to say.
      “But, guess what? Just because you maybe beat Tommy you didn’t beat me. Man to man and styles make fights, everyone knows that.”

      And KSI lived up to his workaholic reputation in camp for the grudge match having been pushed to his absolute limit.
      In a clip from a pre-fight documentary, the Londoner is put through his paces on a versaclimber machine – a climbing-style workout.
      His head trainer Alexis Demetriades barks encouragement and counts down as KSI tirelessly works.
      After the round is over, the unbeaten social media sensation almost collapses into Demetriades’ arms.

      Somehow, KSI then gets back on the machine for one final round of brutality.
      As he works away, Demetriades says: “Every single professional fighter in this gym, you need to beat them.”
      Fury, 24, comes into the fight having beaten KSI’s arch rival Jake Paul, 26, by split-decision in February.
      Whereas KSI, 30, last fought in May where he accidentally but illegally knocked out businessman-turned boxer Joe Fournier, 40, with an elbow.

      But he snubbed a rematch to instead focus on outdoing Paul by attempting to beat Fury.
      KSI’s coaches are so committed to preparing him to the max they offered sparring partners bonus money to KO him.
      Demetriades said: “From where he was at when he first came to where he is now, he’s come on leaps and bounds.
      “He’s only sparring professional boxers, this whole camp, forget MMA fighters, forget amateurs.
      “He’s sparring guys 14-0, 13-0, 12-2, 8-0, 6-0, all with knockouts and all ranked by the British Boxing Board of Control.
      “If they think that we’re not taking this seriously, we’ve got guys who are ranked higher than Tommy Fury in the gym.
      “And they’re not just moving around, they’re trying to kill JJ and there’s bonus money on the table for them to knock him out.
      “From a coaching point of view, all I want to do is put the correct guys in front on KSI and see whether or not he can deal with that and if he can’t then he shouldn’t be fighting.”

      However, KSI, who is yet to be beaten in the ring, launched an astonishing X-rated attack on Fury after seeing who the boxer was sparring in preparation for the fight.
      Taking to Instagram, KSI – who has 13.2 million followers on the platform – shared a picture of Owen Kirk’s boxing record to his story after Kirk shared an image sparring with Fury to his own page.
      The Morecambe middleweight, 24, has a record of three wins, one defeat and two draws.
      But KSI was not impressed by the calibre of opponent Fury was going up against, going so far as to accuse the Love Island star of not taking him seriously.

      He wrote: “How f***ing dare you? You’re not taking me seriously at all you f***ing piece of s***.
      “I’m preparing myself for the ULTIMATE challenge and THIS IS WHAT YOU’RE SPARRING WITH?!?!
      “A middleweight with s*** movement and weak ass punches?!”
      However, Kirk did not take the insult lying down.

      Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Kirk replied: “@KSI six days until you are finished. Give me any of your fighters 160lbs – 180lbs.”
      In KSI’s case, London Shootfighters head coach Alexis Demetriades revealed he has offered money to opponents to knock him out in sessions.
      Demetriades said: “From where he was at when he first came to where he is now, he’s come on leaps and bounds.
      “He’s only sparring professional boxers, this whole camp, forget MMA fighters, forget amateurs.
      “He’s sparring guys 14-0, 13-0, 12-2, 8-0, 6-0, all with knockouts and all ranked by the British Boxing Board of Control.
      “If they think that we’re not taking this seriously, we’ve got guys who are ranked higher than Tommy Fury in the gym.

      “From a coaching point of view, all I want to do is put the correct guys in front on KSI and see whether or not he can deal with that and if he can’t then he shouldn’t be fighting.”
      KSI is an underdog going into the fight considering the vast gap in experience in the ring between himself and Fury.

      “Just go in there and fight, go crazy, it’s simple. I’m going to test that chin and I’m going to show him that my power is different to Jake Paul.” More
