      by

      The super-fit reality TV legend has been teasing a switch to boxing in a series of cryptic social media posts.
      But now SunSport can confirm Essex has been in talks with KSI’s manager and co-founder of Misfits Boxing, Mams Taylor.
      Taylor said: “He’s got family background in boxing so I think he’s excited to get in the ring and we’re excited to have him. 
      “Joey’s going to be very committed, we’ve spoken daily for the last few days and he’s really on it.”

      Ever since launching in the summer of 2022, Misfits has been the home to crossover and celebrity-style fights.
      So Essex – who first shot to fame on ITV’s hit show TOWIE – will have no shortage of famous opponents lining up to face him.
      Taylor said: “I’ve got a list for him and we’re going to go through it and figure it out.” 
      Essex, 33, was quick to call out YouTuber-turned boxer KSI, 30, but Taylor insisted the fight is not yet on the horizon.

      He said: “No disrespect to Joey Essex but I don’t think it would be fair to him to make his debut against KSI and I don’t think it would be right for KSI to go from Tommy Fury to Joey Essex. 
      “If Joey builds up, has a good few fights and develops a lot of skill and it will be a fair fight and a challenge for both of them, then anything is possible down the line. But for now, that’s not the fight.” 
      Essex insisted he would “WALLOP” KSI and claimed there is friction between the pair.
      And Taylor added: “I think there’s an underlying little tension there between them. 
      “I don’t think resolving it in the ring is the right thing to do now for Joey, I don’t think it’s right for KSI either. 
      ‘But down the line let’s see what happens, watch that space.
      “I don’t know why they have any rivalry or beef but it’s interesting. Sometimes these things develop on their own.” More

      I was a party girl who snorted cocaine and ketamine… but now I’m sober thanks to boxing, Elle Brooke bravely reveals

      by

      ELLE BROOKE has bravely revealed how a party lifestyle drove her to drugs and depression – but now she is fighting fit through sobriety. The OnlyFans star is 3-1 as a boxer since making her debut in July 2022 against Love Islander AJ Bunker.

      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.
      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.Elle Brooke
      “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.

      “We also aren’t that fond of each other, so it’s got great ingredients for a good fight.”

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

      by

      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.

      The model is also looking to face off another nemesis in the adult content world in Astrid Wett, who’s currently top of her list.
      The 26-year-old is then looking to follow in the footsteps of other social media personalities like Jake Paul by crossing paths with former MMA fighters.
      And that is why she would like to face off against UFC Hall of Famer Rousey and former MMA athlete-turned OnlyFans model Paige, whom the Brit wouldn’t mind facing in a bare-knuckle fight.
      Elle told talkSPORT: “A really huge fight like Paige VanZant or Ronda Rousey. Someone like that, but then in between I need that Astrid fight.

      “I don’t think those fights would ever work without that one because that is the money fight, that could be like a main [event].
      “Nate Diaz has fought Jake Paul and then he’s facing another opponent in a couple of months.
      “I know it’s called influencer boxing but it’s a crossover scene. You can get other fighters into the scene [and] I think that would make sense.
      “I think the only people who have done it are Jake Paul, KSI, and Bryce Hall. I would definitely love to put my name on the map by winning against a real fighter.
      Most read in Boxing
      “Not that I’m underestimating influencer boxers, but someone that is known to be good, tough, and shocking. I want to be a true underdog and come out on top.
      “I would do bare-knuckle. Apparently, it is better for you because it just grazes your face rather than rattle your brain in your head. Sure, I’ve seen people get their teeth knocked out but okay.”
      Rousey is still regarded as UFC’s greatest female fighter of all time as she enjoyed a four-year undefeated streak that saw her winning all 12 of her fights.
      However, the American bruiser picked up her first loss in 2015 against Holly Holm and never managed to bounce back as she went on to suffer another defeat at the hands of Amanda Nunes a year later.

      Rowdy left Dana White’s promotion that year and crossed over to WWE in 2018 where she went on to dominate the women’s division by becoming RAW and SmackDown Women’s Champion.
      The Baddest Woman on the Planet left the company after SummerSlam in August when she lost to close friend and fellow UFC hero Shayna Baszler.
      The 36-year-old has since been competing in the independent circuit with MMA comrade Marina Shafir, with whom she also appeared in Ring of Honor.
      Rousey hasn’t shown intent to participate in influencer boxing as she is already a major attraction in professional wrestling.
      Meanwhile, Elle is focused on AJ after releasing a bizarre video mocking her rival.
