    Elle Brooke makes peace with AJ Bunker after brutally knocking out ex-Love Island star on Misfits 12

    ELLE BROOKE made peace with AJ Bunker just moments after brutally knocking her out. The pair have rivalled ever since Brook walked away with a disputed points decision on their boxing debuts in the summer of 2022.
    Elle Brooke knocked out AJ Bunker with a right hand

    So they put bragging rights on the line as well as Bunker’s middleweight belt at Misfits 12.
    And it ended in beautiful violence in round three after a right hand closed the show in savage style.
    After all the back and forth between the two, they shared a hug after it was all said and done.
    And Brooke insisted the difference was dropping from 14oz to 10oz and aimed a dig at old rival Astrid Wett, who walked out on Misfits exit.

    She said: “Listen, these 10oz gloves are very dangerous. “I had the 14oz in her first fight and now I’ve come down weight I’m a lot stronger.
    “Why is there nobody in the ring offering me out? Mams [Taylor] where is the next person?
    “Am I now the queen of Misfits now that Astrid [Wett] has left?”
    The grudge match was largely dull and uneventful for the opening three rounds, with Brooke even docked a point for holding.

    But in the third, she set up a stunning right hand that sat Bunker down.
    The brave ex-Love Islander made it to her feet but the referee rightfully waved off the contest.
    Brooke admitted she would have hung up her gloves had she lost – but instead committed her future to Misfits Boxing.
    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.” More

    He first fought in February and survived a final round knockdown to beat Paul by split decision.
    British YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI then suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Fury in their October grudge match.
    Internet sensation KSI was fuming with the result and launched an appeal to the Professional Boxing Association.
    But the PBA insisted there are NO grounds to overturn the result of the Misifts melee as they rejected his appeal.

    KSI, 30, now says he is taking time away from the ring after that setback.
    However, his fans are still stinging following the controversial decision – and they are letting Fury have it.
    Fury, whose girlfriend Molly-Mae gave birth to their first child – a baby girl named Bambi – last year, took to social media to share his new-look.
    He posted a gym selfie of his now longer hair style along with his restyled facial her.

    Another wrote: “Bro think he Walter White.”
    A third asked: “Is Tommy Fury auditioning for a role in the next Iron Man movie?”
    While a fourth claimed: “KSI punched one or two brain cells outta him!”

    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.”

    Gangs dubbed ‘Balcony Burglars’ targeting Premier League players’ homes as they hit mansions in just three minutes

    A GANG who burgled Jack Grealish’s home are believed to have carried out other raids on the home of Prem ace Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Love Island stars Molly Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, The Sun can reveal. Cops looking into the robberies have dubbed them the “Balcony Burglars” after they used ladders to target balconies connected to the master bedrooms of each mansion.

    It has become the favoured method of access as they know jewellery, watches and designer handbags will all be close by, allowing them to spend less than three minutes inside the property. 
    A source said: “It doesn’t take a genius to work out that if there is a balcony overlooking the garden that is most likely to be the master suite. 
    “And if you find that, you’ll find a load of watches and chains and rings, along with electrical items and designer handbags. 
    “Most bedrooms have amazing walk-in wardrobes attached to them where handbags and jewellery is likely to be kept.

    “It means they can pretty much target just one room and get away with hauls worth staggering amounts of money.” 
    Grealish’s home was targeted on December 27 as his family sat downstairs watching him play for City on the TV against Everton. 
    The gang made off with £1m of stuff and managed to get away despite cops arriving less than ten minutes after Jack’s partner Sasha Attwood and his family members triggered a panic alarm linked to cops. 
    Former Liverpool and Arsenal ace Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards were also robbed by a gang in September 2022 by a gang who used a ladder to access a bedroom at their £3.5m mansion in Wilmslow, Cheshire. 
    Most read in Football
    The couple were home at the time and didn’t know they had been targeted until they discovered items of jewellery and handbags missing. 
    Love Island star Molly Mae Hague and boxer Tommy Fury also suffered a similar fate in October 2021 when raiders stole items worth £800,000 as she and Tommy were in London attending an event. 
    Speaking after the robbery, Molly, who is now a mum, said: “”It was without a doubt the worst thing that’s ever happened to me, to us, I’d probably say. It was just awful, horrendous, terrible.”
    Cops investigating the burglaries have appealed for information and are now looking into whether the three burglaries are linked.
    Newcastle star Joelinton’s mansion was also targeted by thieves on Saturday night.
    Joelinton was not home when the burglars broke in, and they are not thought to have entered through a balcony.
    The robbery is not linked to the break-ins by the “Balcony Burglars”. More

    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.
