    “I wouldn’t recommend anyone without any experience getting into bareknuckle”.
    He served time alongside monsters Ian Brady and Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe at Broadmoor Hospital.
    Ben was convicted for knife crimes as a teenager and was sent to Broadmoor after an attempted prison escape aged 21.
    After a few years, he was moved to another high-security facility at Ashworth Hospital, near Liverpool, but was released in 2020 and has turned his life around, now working as a boxer and running a successful YouTube podcast.

    In September Daniella Westbrook, 49, shared a video of herself lying between the sheets with ex con Ben – just weeks after confirming she was back with her fiancé David.
    In the video, a giggling Danniella says: “Guess what, do you want to know a secret?”
    She then pans over to Ben who laughs: “The cats out the bag.”
    Danniella adds: “It’s official.”
    She later shared another video and claimed it was an old video taken ‘years ago’ and she thought she was just sending to him as she insisted they are just friends.
    Hatchett also previously dated Jessie Wallace’s half-sister Danielle Mason after inviting her on his podcast and having their first date in Broadmoor.
    Speaking with the Daily Star about turning his life around following regaining his freedom, Ben said: “I came out with a dream in my head.
    “I was going to do a book I was going to do something positive in the world – I came out with the belief that I can change and be a better person and he can too, if he was just given the opportunity.
    “I was done for hostage taking,” he admits, “was on top of prison roofs, I was done for violence, I was kicked out of Broadmoor.
    “They deemed me high risk. I did nine months segregation for a plot to take lan Brady hostage but I came out and look what I’ve done now; I own a security company now, I am a professional fighter, I’ve gone and worked with kids.
    “These 4 letters gave me hope when I was inside – P.T.A.W., prove them all wrong.”
    What is Ben Hatchett’s boxing record?
    At present Ben’s professional bareknuckle boxing record stands at 1 win, 1 loss and 0 draws.
    His only win to date came by way of TKO, so his current knock-out ratio is 50%.
    In total he’s boxed 3 rounds, meaning his professional fights last 1.5 rounds on average.
    Aside from professional fights, it appears that Hatchett has been in a lot of bareknuckle contests, but information about these is often kept out of the public eye.
    Is Ben Hatchett fighting Ed Matthews?
    According to a video released on YouTube, Ben Hatchett and Ed Matthews will be going head-to-head.
    There is yet to be any concrete information about the bout released.
    The video just says the fight will be under the Backyard MMA banner and that it is “coming soon”.
    Is Ben Hatchett on social media?
    Yes, Ben is on social media.
    He hosts a YouTube podcast called Let’s Be Real.
    He is also on TikTok and Instagram.
    How long did Ben Hatchett spend in prison?
    Ben was in prison between 2010 and 2020.

    They have become huge hits with one video of Deen boxing a Houston police officer in Texas reaching almost TWO MILLION views.
    The internet sensation – who wrestled at school – was inspired into a social media career after seeing his friends rake it in.
    Deen, 23, told SunSport: “I saw they were making $30,000 a month, I was like s***. Let me get some of that. 
    “They’re doing fake pranks so I just picked up a phone, started recording with my friends and fighting on the streets, it went viral.

    “I kept doing the street s*** and it kept going viral and kept going viral, I fought three people at once, it went viral. 
    “I even fought a police officer and that’s what got me on the map.”
    Deen started training when he was 17 and was discovered online by prankster FouseyTube.
    So when KSI launched Misfits Boxing – a platform for crossover celebrity-style bouts – it was a no brainer for the brawler.

    Deen said: “I started taking it serious when they got me on the big stage.”
    The lightweight – real name Nurideen Shahid Shabazz – admitted fighting on the streets often drew threats.
    He said: “It was hella dangerous, but I guess God was on my side. 
    “The whole point was it was guns down gloves up so people kind of got the memo. 
    “I did have a few people threaten me, but I don’t fear s***. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.” 
    Deen is unbeaten in Misfits and returns in a rematch on Saturday against bitter rival Walid Sharks, who he knocked out in November.
    But he is tempted by a switch to the professional game if the money is right having been supported by world champions.
    Deen said: “S***, the influencer game is where the money is at.
    “But if the pro game have some bread to throw, I know promoters have been asking me a lot of questions. 
    “A lot of them are interested so it’s going to be exciting to see. But if DAZN keep taking care of me, I’ll stick with DAZN and turn pro if there’s no one else to fight in the influencer scene, why not?

    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.

    “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

    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.

    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.”
