      But she has also gained a huge social media following and even launched her own OnlyFans account.
      Luxton has a YouTube channel and asked fans for questions while posting a picture in a bikini and in the ring.
      The responses ranged from dream opponents, to preferred method of victory, while another asked her on a date.
      Luxton, 23, made her boxing debut in February on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition with Geordie Shore’s Aaron Chalmers.

      That came after a world silver medal in Muay Thai as well as European and British titles.
      And she has also signed a deal with The Professional Fighters League, which will home her MMA career.
      But Luxton has hopes of winning world titles in all three disciplines.
      She told the Daily Mail this year: “My goal is to have a world title in boxing, a world title in MMA and a world title in Muay Thai.

      Logan Paul never doing jiu jitsu again after UFC champion FOUR STONE lighter ‘split him in half’

      by

      LOGAN PAUL has vowed to never do jiu jitsu again after UFC champion Alexander Volkanovski split him in half. Volkanovski and fellow champ Israel Adesanya travelled to Paul’s Puerto Rico training base to be guests on his Impaulsive podcast.

      But the trio also got some training in where the YouTube, boxing and WWE star was given a lesson in jiu jitsu.
      Middleweight king Adesanya was captured tapping Paul out while Volkanovski went one further.
      Paul said: “You’re the best in the world at what you do, I got to experience it.
      “You are so strong and dominant, it’s like I knew it going into it.

      “You put me in a body lock and I felt like you could have tightened your legs so much and literally split me in half, I’m not doing BJJ again.”
      Paul weighs around 14st 2lb while featherweight Volkanovski fights at 10st 3lb, meaning there is a huge FOUR STONE difference between them.
      The Aussie, 34, and Adesanya, 33, also took the journey over to announce their sponsorship with Paul’s Prime drink company.
      But despite backing the pair, Paul, 28, did not receive any mercy on the training mat with Volkanovski.

      He said: “We were drilling this body triangle, where you have someone in your legs and hold them.
      “He goes ‘My legs are short, I don’t do the body triangle often’. Then when we actually went to do it, he almost kills me with the body triangle.
      “Jiu jitsu is a whole different beast, you don’t want to fight a guy in the street who knows jiu jitsu.”

      UFC’s Joe Rogan branded a ‘s**tbag’ by Tyson Fury for stirring up Jon Jones crossover fight as ‘offer’ is made to Brit

      by

      TYSON FURY has blamed Joe Rogan for the talk of a crossover clash with Jon Jones – branding the UFC commentator a “s**tbag”.The combat sports world has been abuzz about a hypothetical fight between boxing and MMA’s heavyweight kings ever since Rogan claimed Jones would have his way with Fury.

      Gypsy King Fury, 34, flew into a fit of rage at the notion of Jones getting the better of him in a no holds barred fight, screaming down his iPhone and posting the footage to Instagram.
      And he lays the ensuing talk of a cross-sport clash squarely at the feet of multi-millionaire podcast Rogan.
      During a recent Q&A at Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA Gym in Phuket, Thailand, he said: “It was actually Joe Rogan, little s**tbag, who [started this].
      “Just out of the blue, there was no talk of me or Jon even fighting. Jon’s a great guy, probably the GOAT of MMA.

      “[Rogan] said, ‘Oh if Tyson Fury goes in a room with Jon Jones he’s going to get absolutely smashed to bits.’
      “Like, if someone goes in the room with me and it’s no holds barred, you’re going to have to kill me to stop me.”
      Rogan’s insistence that mixed martial arts’ pound-for-pound king would have his way with Fury still irks the Brit.
      The WBC heavyweight champion said: “He didn’t say an MMA fight or a boxing fight, he said go in a room together and Tyson Fury’s not walking out.

      “So I don’t know where it all started and Jon said something and I said something and we’ve being going back and forward.
      “There was never talk of me saying I was going to go in a cage with Jon Jones and go in there and get my arm snapped off.
      “No way. The thing was, I offered Jon, you want to walk in a boxing ring and make some real money then come and fight me.
      “But zero chance of me going in an MMA game and rolling around and all that. Zero.”
      UFC president Dana White has publicly entertained the prospect of Fury – who is without an opponent following the collapse of his historic undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk earlier this year – entering the octagon.

      “There’s talks of me and Jon Jones doing a hybrid fight as we talk right now.

      “I received an offer from the UFC yesterday. So, you never know what’s gonna happen.
      “The future’s bright for sure. There’s a lot of options out there, and it seems at the moment I’m still going to get an actual boxing opponent.” More

      IBF bantamweight champion Ebanie Bridges is one of several fighters raking in the cash from the site and reckons McGregor – who she recently met – should follow suit.
      The Aussie told OnlyAccounts: “He might have some ideas of doing it.

      “But it’s not, it’s exclusive content from athletes and celebrities.”

      “I’m not a blogger or Instagram a lot by telling people all the time what I’m doing, but on my OnlyFans, I do.
