    He has scored 54 goals since then but he was still not named on the 30-man shortlist for the Ballon d’Or, which was won for an eighth time by rival Lionel Messi.
    Ronaldo also failed to make The Best awards’ men’s player of the year shortlist but he did collect two other prizes at the Globe Soccer Awards as he added Best Middle East Player and Best Goal Scorer gongs to the fan one.
    But he took aim at his Ballon d’Or and Best Awards snubs by saying: “I think that, in a way, these awards are losing credibility. We have to analyse the entire season.
    “It’s not to say that Messi didn’t deserve it, or Haaland or even Mbappe. I simply no longer believe in these awards.

    “And it’s not because I won at Globe Soccer. But there are facts, there are numbers. And the numbers don’t deceive.
    “They can’t take this trophy away from me because it’s a reality. So it makes me even happier, because the numbers are facts.”

    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.”

    QPR star Ilias Chair faces calls for two years in jail after ‘smashing lorry driver’s skull with a rock’

    PROSECUTORS have called for QPR star Ilias Chair to be jailed for two years after he was accused of smashing a lorry driver’s skull with a rock.A court heard a trucker suffered life-threatening injuries in a brawl.
    Ilias Chair denies the allegations following an alleged flare-up
    The allegations relate to an incident in Bazeilles, northern France, as the driver Niels T waited with his family for a coach back to Belgium after a kayaking trip in the summer of 2020.
    Morocco midfielder Chair, 26, denies the assault charge – with his lawyers claiming Niels T was out to make money from the footballer.
    Prosecutors in the Antwerp-born player’s home town say he and two friends got into an argument with the trucker.
    Antwerp’s public prosecutor said: “According to many people involved, Ilias Chair lashed out at Niels T with a stone and knocked him unconscious.
    READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
    “The consequences were dramatic for Niels T. He suffered a severe skull fracture, two centimetres long, and was taken to hospital at Reims in critical condition.
    “Afterwards he had to recover for a long time in a Belgian hospital, and could not do his job as a lorry driver for a long time.
    “The blow was almost fatal for him, and he still feels the after-effects.”
    The prosecutor asked for Chair to be jailed for two years and fined £1,400, as well as calling for lesser sentences for his friends Nora H. and Jaber C.
    Most read in Football
    Chair’s lawyer Alen Cilic told the hearing there was insufficient proof the ex-Stevenage loanee had caused the trucker’s injuries.
    He said Niels T and his family started the brawl and were trying to make money from the 12-cap ace.
    The lawyer for Nials T responded: “That is nonsense. We want damages of 16,000 euros, which is only about a week’s pay for Mr Chair.
    “My client almost lost his life, and it took surgeons to save him.
    “He was unable to work for a long time, and still suffers adverse reactions every day to having been hit with a rock.”
    The case continues.
    Chair is one of QPR’s key men in their fight to avoid relegation from the Championship.
    He’s made over 220 appearances for the Londoners, scoring 30 goals, since arriving from Belgians Lierse in 2017. More
