      Dotting dad John has been front and centre for every media ahead of the latest Misfits Prime show, so much so that promotion chief Mams Taylor is weighing up giving him a fight in the future.
      That’s according to talkSPORT, who claimed: “KSI’s manager Mams Taylor has revealed that John Fury has told him he’s interested in fighting on a Misfits Boxing card.
      “And they’re open to making it happen.”
      Brit boxing fans were quick to comment on the revelation, with one saying: “This would legitimately be the greatest thing to happen in the history of boxing.”

      Some fans even called for John to share the ring with boxing icon Mike Tyson, who he named his son Tyson after.
      One wrote on X: “John Fury vs Mike Tyson.”
      Another said: “Put him in there with Mike Tyson.”
      John will be in Tommy’s corner for his clash with KSI and fully expects his son to do a number on the social media sensation.
      He told LowKick MMA: “I know how good Tommy is and KSI is going to find out how good Tommy is on the night.
      “I’m not gonna shout, and scream, and jump up and down because I’ve done all that, but the time for talking is over.
      “Action speaks louder than words. We’ve said this, we’ve said that. He’s been saying plenty. Let’s see if he can back it up on the night.
      “I hope he can.” More

      Dillon Danis refuses to answer Logan Paul question while hooked up to lie detector test ahead of fight on KSI card

      DILLON DANIS has refused to confirm if he intends to pull a fast one and withdraw from his fight with Logan Paul.The Brazilian jiu-jitsu whizz faces the social media sensation in a grudge match several months in the making in Manchester on Saturday night.

      Danis – a long-time pal of UFC superstar Conor McGregor – pulled out of his January joust with Brit KSI and has teased another withdrawal over the last few weeks.
      And the social media troll isn’t committing to stepping between the ropes this weekend, insisting he’s only a “maybe” to enter the ring while hooked up to a lie detector.
      Danis – who has twice competed in Bellator – revealed he withdrew from his clash with KSI because it was a “lose-lose” for him.
      The American said of KSI: “He’s a p***y. I just think KSI’s a nobody, it was a lose-lose for me.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “And beating him was like ‘who cares?’ I don’t know, I didn’t really care about fighting him at all.
      “I think me and the Pauls have had a lot of history and there’s a lot more storyline, me and KSI never had a storyline.
      “I think he’s a loser, he’s not a real fighter, he’s a video gamer, brought nothing to me.
      “Logan has actually boxed Floyd Mayweather so at least he brings a little bit of credibility and it’s better.

      “I think KSI sucks and I would have starched him.
      “He’s working for me, I sold this whole fight so he’s my b****, tell him to take the bandana off and show his forehead, both of them!'”
      The build-up to Danis’ clash with Paul has been dominated by his relentless trolling of the YouTuber’s fiancee Nina Agdal.
      Danis has repeatedly shared photos of the Dane with her previous flames to X (formerly Twitter), inviting multiple pile ons.
      His targeted campaign against the model – in which he’s alleged to have shared hacked content from her private SnapChat – has seen him slapped with a restraining order.
      Agdal, however, will be in attendance for the fight.
      Paul revealed late last month: “It’s not a physical restraining order, she’ll be there.
      “No, no anxiety. Nina is a warrior, dude, Dillon Danis is a puddle.
      “Dillon Danis on Twitter, on X, behind a keyboard, is much different than Dillon Danis in person.” More

      The star-studded line-up is headlined by KSI’s fight with Tommy Fury, while Logan Paul is facing off with Dillon Danis.
      But while the focus is on the two main fights at the AO Arena, further down the bill are fellow mega-successful influencers with deep pockets.
      In terms of net worths on the The Misfits card, PRIME business partners Paul and KSI top the list with £61million and £20m respectively.
      Alex Wassabi – whose partner is actress Alexxis Lemire – is worth a cool £13m.

      Love Island star Fury takes up the next spot thanks to his net worth of an estimated £4m.
      Danis is worth more than a pretty penny himself with a net worth of £2.5m.
      Salt Papi, participating in the third from last fight on the card, has a net worth of up to £1.6m,

      Opponent Slim Albaher has a far more modest worth of £407,000, which is understandable given his more modest social media following.
      Deen the Great has a net worth of £2.5m, a number which could rise if he beats Walid Sharks this weekend.
      Swarmz, who will be fighting Ryan Taylor, has a net worth of £1.6m.
      This worth is nearly identical to that of OnlyFans star Astrid Wett, who is facing Alexia Grace.
      However, the boxers are not the only ones stacking dough.
      Co-presidents Kalle Sauerland and Mams Taylor are millionaire’s in their own right.
      Sauerland has a net worth estimated at £2.6m, while Taylor’s stands at £4m. More

      KSI incredibly reveals ‘different’ Erling Haaland nearly stopped blockbuster Tommy Fury fight

      ERLING HAALAND almost scuppered KSI’s grudge match with Tommy Fury, according to the YouTuber.The social media sensation clashes with the former Love Islander in a Manchester melee on Saturday night.

      But his recent collab video with new Prime athlete Haaland almost laid waste to his showdown with Fury, the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson.
      KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – almost had his nose battered by the Norwegian man-mountain while filming some content with him.
      Haaland and Prime co-founder Logan Paul recently tried to save a number of penalties from the Manchester City hitman.
      And some of the 23-year-old’s strikes came dangerously close to smacking KSI in the face and potentially derailing his fight with Fury.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      KSI recalled the meet-up during an appearance on That Peter Crouch Podcast, saying: “Oh my God. So I was in goal for it.
      “Bro, I was s***ting myself because he knows how to hit hard. It’s different.
      “Like you know when you’re with your mates and they kick the ball? It can be hard, but it’s not like professional level.
      “Haaland was there just trying to hit me with a volley, at professional level, while I’m in goal.

      “And I’m there like, ‘Bro, I’ve got a fight like in a month. Are you mad? What are you doing?’ I’m just trying to get out of the way.”
      KSI enters his showdown with Fury on the back of a no contest with self-proclaimed millionaire Joe Fournier.
      The 30-year-old is a huge underdog going into the fight but is adamant he’ll stop Fury inside four rounds.
      He said: “I’m feeling good, feeling confident and feeling ready.
      “I’m going to just stand there and fight him, Jake ran away from Tommy’s combinations; I’m not running away, I’m standing in the middle of the ring and I’m fighting him.
      “I’ve watched [Fury and Paul’s fight] many times, every angle on slo-mo, every stance, every little bit of detail that I need to know in order to beat Tommy Fury.
      “Tommy has got some certain combinations that he likes doing that he’s pretty good at and we’re looking out for that.
      “Obviously he’s a big guy that likes to clinch so we’re going to be watching that and we’re going to fight him.
      “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.”

      The pair had to be separated by security after getting into each other’s faces in the ring.

      Wassabi has plenty of followers online, with 3.3 million fans on Instagram alone.
      However, his partner is a celebrity in her own right.
      Alexxis has 304,000 followers on Instagram and often steals the show on her page with some steamy bikini snaps.
      And her camera confidence should come as no surprise considering she used to be a competitive cheerleader and now works as an actor.

      Alexxis was born in Londonderry, New Hampshire to Puerto Rican mother Hilde Lemire and French father Jim Lemire.
      She graduated from high school in 2014, where she was a part of the cheer team.

      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.

      Shakira snubs Barca star ex Pique AGAIN as she confirms shock support for Premier League giants after Waka Waka chant

      by

      SHAKIRA has taken another brazen swipe at her ex Gerard Pique by showing her support for a Premier League giant on social media after footie fans remixed her Waka Waka hit.The Colombian pop star took to Instagram to send her encouragement to Arsenal F.C. during a heated match against Bournemouth.

      Fans of Arsenal adapted the singer’s trilingual bop Waka Waka, featuring Freshlyground, which served as the official Fifa song for the 2010 World Cup.
      Footie fans remixed the hot hit to craft a new chant for the team’s latest signing, Kai Havertz, a former Chelsea forward.
      The chant swept through the Vitality Stadium during Arsenal’s epic 4-0 triumph over Bournemouth, earning Shakira’s endorsement.
      The 46-year-old took to Instagram to share a video on her story of the cheering and chanting fans while captioning the post “Go Arsenal!” – an apparent dig at her football star ex, Gerard Pique.
      READ MORE ON SHAKIRA
      Based on the tune and lyrics to Waka Waka, the Havertz chant goes: “Tsamina mina, eh eh, Waka Waka, eh, eh, sixty million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again”.
      It is yet to be seen whether the chant will stick around throughout the season, but it may become a regular feature at games.
      In another display of interest in the football club, Shakira visited the Emirate Stadium for a fixture between Arsenal and Manchester United last month.
      The Gunners, under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, faced off against the Red Devils in what was their fourth Premier League game for the season.
      Most read in Football
      The tense game saw Alejandro Garnacho score a goal that was later disallowed, and Gabriel Jesus eventually sealed the deal for the Gunners with a goal in injury time at 90 + 11 minutes.
      Shakira shared her experience at the Emirates Stadium on Instagram, showing fans the post-match victory celebrations alongside a heart-eyes emoji.
      The singer has barely been able to stay out of the headlines with the constant jabs at her ex, a former Spanish World Cup winner.
      On October 2, the stunning singer called herself “The Boss” in a horseback photo in a major swipe at Pique.
      The star shared a snap of her music video for her latest track El Jefe, seemingly hitting back at the football ace.
      She was also spotted on Instagram taking a thinly veiled swipe at her ex as she called him “empty” while sending fans wild with her sultry dance moves.
      In the clip, she could be seen lip-syncing her song Copa Vacia while sporting a strappy orange tank top and skintight jeans.
      The pair split last year after 12 years together after the footie star came under fire after it was alleged that he cheated on the singer and that she discovered his alleged affair thanks to a jar of strawberry jam.
      The cheating claims have not been confirmed but it seems as though the footballer has plans to wed his new beau Clara Chia and is set to announce their engagement, according to Spanish media.
      After dropping multiple diss tracks to Pique, Shakira also seems to be moving on, as she’s already been rumoured to be linked to multiple A-listers.
      Many have speculated that the Colombian star was dating F1 ace Lewis Hamilton, while others thought she and Hollywood icon Tom Cruise had grown close.
      Hamilton and the singer were first spotted when Shakira attended the Miami Grand Prix, where they appeared to share an intimate dinner afterward.
      Cruise, 60, was said to have been “flirting” with the Colombian-born singer before she became involved with Hamilton.
      Later on in the summer, Shakira brushed off speculation about the potential “love triangle”.
      But although Shakira seems to be doing well following the messy split from Pique, she has recently come under criticism for a slew of actions that have left fans disappointed.
      She got into hot water after she was spotted not doing anything when a security guard grabbed a fan by the neck who was trying to get close to her.
      According to local reports, the incident occurred in the first week of October at a Miami hotel during Latin Music Week 2023.
      Many viewers who saw the footage of the “assault” said she should have stepped in for the fan after questions were raised as to whether the security guard had overstepped his professional boundaries.
      In recent days testimonies have also come forward about Shakira’s behaviour in the workplace after a dancer, Jenni Garcia, said the singer didn’t pay her for 12 performances.
      “She took me out of my dressing room and I was topless. She also went into our bathroom because hers was broken and the security staff took us out.
      Read More on The Sun
      “When she came out she didn’t even thank us. I spoke to security to get them to let us in,” she told YouTube channel La Saga.
      But despite her claims, Garcia described Shakira as a “great artist” but said she has “lost respect” for her following her experiences.

      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.
      READ MORE ON KSI
      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.”
