    Glastonbury-ready
    Back in June, Laura was one of the 200,000 partygoers who descended upon Worthy Farm.
    Anything goes at the Glastonbury Festival, from fancy dress to sexy styles.
    So it was no surprise to see Woodsy adapt to her surroundings.
    She looked divine as she posed in matching spandex shorts and a crop top before heading to watch the bands.

    The outfit also had a unique pink and green geometric pattern.
    She captioned the picture: “Day 3, Glastonbury. Off we go then.”
    Channelling Pamela Anderson
    When Laura appeared in Fabulous in the summer, she revealed the greatest challenges she’s had to overcome in her career.
    And that includes breaking into a male-dominated industry to fly the flag for women in sport on TV.
    The interview came soon after she quit her talkSPORT breakfast show to focus on her broadcast career.
    But, as the chat and photoshoot proved, she was full of confidence.
    Laura stunned in a red high-cut swimsuit, looking every inch a Baywatch babe.

    Give her an award
    Regularly, and rightly, Laura is championed for her work.
    Earlier this month, she scooped the Presenter of the Year award by Broadcast Sport.
    She was recognised for an excellent job covering the Women’s World Cup over the summer.
    Again, it was her outfit that got fans online commenting.
    She wore a black cut off top that showed off her amazing abs and a black dress – looking stunning.

    Lady of leather
    When it has come to work, Laura has always cut a sophisticated figure.
    However, on one particular Champions League night she went rogue with a biker look.
    Woods was broadcasting live from Manchester ahead of Manchester City’s match against BSC Young Boys.
    Standing outside the Etihad, the 36-year-old wowed in her fitted black leather jacket and eye-catching jewellery.
    She also shared a behind-the-scenes snap of her stunning ensemble while holding a blue umbrella on Instagram.

    Yacht life
    Now that she is a staple of sports broadcasting, Laura can enjoy the jet-set.
    But, back in 2019 she was already priming herself for a glam lifestyle.
    On a holiday to Marbella with some pals, she hired a yacht.
    Of course, there was an obligatory shot with all her mates on board.
    And when she posed for a single shot, she offered a glimpse of her leopard-print bikini bottoms, accessorised with a black see-through sarong, as well as a matching bust-hugging animal-print top.

    You can’t touch this
    On duty for DAZN, Laura shows she’s a dab hand at presenting boxing coverage.
    And she makes sure she’s dressed up for the occasion.
    This time, back in 2022, she thought she would channel a 90s pop icon.
    Woodsy even addressed in the caption for a snap showing her on set wearing baggy leather trousers.
    She asked: “MC Hammer is it?”
    Is it MC Hammer or Laura Woods?
    Summer vibes
    Wherever she goes, Laura always brings the sunshine.
    Her smiley demeanour lights up the screen and her positivity knows no bounds.
    If ever an outfit mirrored her outlook, it has to be a white vest and shorts combo.
    Casual but smart. Glam but classy.
    It’s the Laura we all love and know.

    Some of the holiday spots Alex Scott has visited
    And she enjoys a variety of holidays, from relaxing on private yachts to climbing mountains, and snorkelling.
    Scott was raised by her mum in east London, where she dreamed of going abroad.
    Her eyes were opened when a family friend took her to the Dominican Republic.
    When she became a professional footballer with Arsenal, that allowed her to travel around Europe.
    Read more Alex Scott news
    While with England she played in a World Cup in Canada and games in China.
    Now, with more time on her hands and money, Scott is able to go on more adventures.
    Working abroad helped feed her curiosity seeing the rest of the world.
    US years
    In 2009, after winning countless trophies with Arsenal Women, Scott moved to the US permanently with the American Pro League side, Boston Breakers.
    Most read in Football
    It gave her the opportunity to explore the States.
    “I fell in love with Boston’s vibrancy and diversity,” she told The Times.
    “I lived in Cambridge and I would cycle along the river to our base at Harvard. At weekends we’d go to cities including New York, Washington DC or over to the west coast.
    “I spent a lot of time in Los Angeles with friends during the off-season. There are beautiful mountain hikes, especially around the Topanga area.”
    Solo traveller
    Last year, Scott embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Peru.
    She is a keen solo traveller, who loves the opportunity to go on adventurous treks.
    That includes climbing mountains and seeing the world’s most incredible sights.
    “As soon as the off-season starts, I like to take myself off on an epic solo adventure,” she said.

    “Travelling alone takes you out of your comfort zone and I wouldn’t have connected with so many wonderful people if I were with friends.
    “Last year I went to Machu Picchu. I met an amazing group of women in Peru who took me under their wing and invited me to join them climbing the colourful, banded layers of Rainbow Mountain.”
    Scott has embarked on plenty of solo trips during her lifetime.
    All ticked off the bucket list are Cambodia, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Brazil and the Caribbean including Jamaica, which she did when filming Who Do You Think You Are?
    And there’s more solo trips in the pipeline.
    She revealed: “During lockdown, I had Spanish lessons three times a week. I’m keen to explore South America, including Argentina, the W Trek in Patagonia and the Galapagos islands.
    “It’s not been easy to schedule, but I’m planning to go to Spanish school for an intensive course in Guatemala for three weeks.”
    Scuba-diving breaks
    Watersports and scuba-diving appeal to Scott’s adventurous nature.
    A snapshot of her Instagram shows she is all-action – jet-skiing and hoverboarding in the sea.

    She revealed she also earned her diving certificates, which encourages the football pundit to seek out holidays where she can go under the water.
    But, she had to overcome her fears first.
    “I only learnt how to swim properly a couple of years ago because I was scared of water,” she revealed.
    “On a two-week holiday in the Maldives I decided to be brave and took diving lessons.
    “It’s probably my competitive nature, but by the end of the trip I had certificates in open water and advanced scuba diving.
    “Now, wherever I go in the world, I try to get in some diving, which I find really meditative.”
    European vacays
    Scott doesn’t need to travel half way around the globe to enjoy herself.
    In recent years she has enjoyed going on short trips to Europe.

    Croatia, she admitted, “completely took me by surprise” when she visited Hvar, Split, Bol and other islands.
    She also fell in love with the culture and history of Rome.
    It was a mother/daughter vacation in Ibiza that recently gave her lots of happiness.
    She said: “My mother and I went to Ibiza and she told me her cheeks were hurting so much because she couldn’t stop smiling.
    “That filled my heart with happiness. I feel so lucky that I’m now in a position where I can take my mum away.”
    Usually, it’s not always glam. However, Scott couldn’t help but take up former Arsenal co-chairman David Dein’s kind offer of using his boat in Greece.
    “I don’t usually stay in high-end places, but I hold my hands up and admit I did Greece in a fancy way,” she said.
    “David Dein, Arsenal FC’s former co-owner, who is a father figure to me, invited me to join him on his boat. We would island hop each day and I got off at Santorini for a couple of nights.”
    With adventures like these, it would seemingly be criminal not to give Scott her own travel programme today. More

    I starred for Man City but I now make millions selling Lamborghinis and Ferraris to the rich and famous

    FANS of Manchester City will remember Dutch international Nigel de Jong for his combative nature on the pitch.The midfielder famously committed one of the worst fouls in a World Cup final ever to go unpunished when he launched a karate kick into the chest of Xabi Alonso.

    De Jong counts Premier League players and shakes as clientsCredit: Instagram
    De Jong racked up 137 appearances for City after arriving from AC Milan in 2012, winning a Premier League and an FA Cup during his time in Manchester.
    With opposition midfielders letting out a shared sigh of relief when he retired from the game last year, it was interesting to see what his next move in the game would be.
    The Dutchman has made sporadic appearances as a pundit for ITV, often during major international tournaments such as the Euros and World Cup.
    And while he now works as the technical director of the Dutch national team, he still has a very nice side hustle which has been earning him money dating back to his early playing days.
    READ MORE ON SPORT
    De Jong studied for an economics degree during his time in the youth set up at Ajax and has put it to good use ever since.
    While playing for Hamburg in Germany, De Jong founded a luxury car business called Continental Cars in 2007.
    De Jong made it his mission to only sell the finest cars in the world and stocks Bentleys, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Aston Martins, and Rolls Royces.
    During his playing days, he made the most of having access to a clientele of professional footballers and sourced cars for the likes of Arsenal stars Mesut Ozil and Lukas Podolski.

    De Jong credits his business acumen to his grandfather, who was a managing director of Ford in Holland.
    De Jong said: “My grandfather was one of the CEOs of Ford in Holland and I saw closely how he developed himself as a businessman.
    “He was always on time, making sure payments were never late, paying attention to service and giving customers extra, always making sure the company and his family was stable.
    “I looked up to him, and off the pitch, I wanted to be like him. I also think his professionalism is something I carried with me as a footballer too.”
    He emphasised the importance of footballers investing in their education outside of football when he spoke to Joe, saying: “My mother always said ‘football is only part of your life, you have to develop yourself beyond that’ and I felt it was vital for me to do something for myself that wasn’t related to it.
    “Besides being a professional player, I had the dream of owning a company and when I had the money and the expertise, I made it happen.
    “God gave me the talent and the strength to become a football player, which gave me the financial resources and empowerment to improve in other areas.
    “I think it’s so important for football players to be smart with what they do with their salaries, because it can become an investment or be gone before you know it.

    “It is very tempting in our industry to live for now – to buy the expensive cars and live a flashy lifestyle – but you have to plan so you’re able to do that in future too.
    “This is an education players should get from a very early age to help them deal with the money they’ll make.”
    De Jong said not only does he deal with footballers wanting the most luxurious cars, but he has dealt with Middle Eastern Sheikhs that need motors sourced too.
    He said to Voetbal International: “Of course many footballers know where to find us,” he said.
    “But also business people, collectors, and we just have to work hard for it, it’s not that we’ve had success for ten years.

    The Man City boss has dominated the Premier league scene since arriving on our shores in 2016, and finally won the Champions League for the club last season.
    But, despite all the accolades and trophies, Pep isn’t the wealthiest manager around.
    In fact, he trails miles behind a Man Utd legend, according to online estimates, and it isn’t Sir Alex…

    10. Arsene Wenger, £38million
    The Arsenal legend may have left his Emirates post in 2018, but he’s still worth a huge whack.
    Towards the end of his tenure, Wenger was said to have pocketed around £8million-per-year.
    But, if he had accepted jobs at other clubs including Real Madrid and PSG when he was offered them during his 22 years, his bank balance may have swelled.
    God bless loyalty.

    According to reports, his current contract is worth around £15million-per-year.
    It has also been reported in 2021 Klopp earned £6.7million from advertising deals.

    The greatest manager the Premier League has ever seen, Fergie earned his fortune over time through football and his love of horses.
    In his final years in the Old Trafford hot seat, Sir Alex revealed in his book Leading he was paid more than any player in the Utd squad.

    While last year, it was revealed the 13-time Premier League winner is still on the Red Devils payroll – earning £2million-per-year.
    Fergie still has an eye for business, and is planning on setting up his own Upperwood Farm Stud in Hemel Hempstead that could net him millions.

    5. Zinedine Zidane, £99million

    3. Pep Guardiola, £100million
    The most successful manager in the modern game, Pep is famous for reinventing the wheel – coming up with tactical decisions that at first baffle, but then become pioneering for the rest of the world to follow.
    So it’s only fair he is well compensated by his club Man City, now earning a monstrous £20million-per-annum.
    It’s enough to make him the Premier League’s highest paid coach.
    But not enough to put him top of the tree.
    Pep Guardiola has accrued a wealth of £100m
    3. Jose Mourinho, £100million
    The Special One’s salaries have been boosted by some astonishing pay offs.
    When he was last on our shores, it cost Tottenham a reported £15million to sack Mourinho in 2021.

    The Atletico Madrid boss is the highest paid manager in world football.
    Simeone, a master tactician at building a team resolute in defending, is paid a staggering £30million-per-year with the Spanish side.
    And he takes football management very seriously because of his wage.
    “Football is 24 hours a day. That’s how it is,” he once said. “When you’re sleeping there’s someone else who’s awake. And the one who is awake is thinking and if you are sleeping….
    “So, there is an advantage for the one who is awake. That’s why you have to be careful,”
    Diego Simeone is currently the highest paid manager in world footballCredit: Getty
    1. Wayne Rooney, £125million
    Birmingham City boss Rooney refuted claims he was the Championship’s highest earner at £1.5million a season.
    However, he can’t dispute the huge wealth he has accrued throughout his playing career.
    At one point Man Utd made him the highest paid player in the Premier League, supplementing his income to the tune of £250,000 a week.
    That rose to £300,000 a week when the value of his commercial rights was accounted for.
    He lost payments as manager of Derby County, after the club were hit with financial woes.
    But, as DC United boss, he was said to earn around £800,000 per year.
    All in all, Rooney is worth around £125million thanks to football.

    Inside world of cigar-smoking drug cheat Jarrell Miller who raps, is heavier than Thor and left Eddie Hearn ‘disgusted’

    DEONTAY WILDER once revealed he wanted a body on his record, but Jarrell Miller has made a more vicious vow to decapitate his rivals.The two behemoths feature on the same card in the Day of Reckoning, boxing’s most outrageous fight night, put on by the Saudis during Riyadh season.
    Standing at 6ft4 tall and weighing 325 pounds, Jarrell Miller is a beast of a fighter

    While Wilder faces off against Joseph Parker, Miller’s got the more intriguing battle – squaring off against the brawn of Daniel Dubois.
    It’s not the first time the Brooklyn native was lined up to face a Brit.
    Back in 2019, Miller was due to fight Anthony Joshua (who is also involved in the December 23 extravaganza where he will face Otto Wallin) in a clash for AJ’s WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO titles.
    However, the fight was called off at the eleventh hour after the 35-year-old failed TWO drug tests.
    Read more boxing news
    Since then, former kickboxer Miller has rebuilt his career and is still unbeaten in his 27 fights.
    Nasty piece of work
    Hatred for your opponent in boxing is nothing new.
    Ahead of their trilogy fight, Deontay Wilder promised to “legally murder” Tyson Fury.
    Fellow American Miller is, it seems, cut from the same cloth.
    Most read in Boxing
    Back in September, he shared a clip of a training montage that saw him knock his sparring partners down on the canvas.
    Impressive as it looked, it was the cigar-chomping star’s words in the caption for the horror video that offered a bigger chill.
    He wrote: “I’m going to decapitate every man that stands before me.
    “This is not a threat, this is a promise.
    “I said it and so it shall be written.
    “No mercy. No retreat. War.”
    He’s a rapper
    Rappers and boxers are often connected.
    Some use hip-hop stars for their ring walk-ins, think when Stormzy rapped out AJ in his 2015 fight with Dillian Whyte.

    But Miller takes it to a whole new level.
    The man nicknamed Big Baby, who is pals with 50 Cent, rapped himself into the ring in a recent fight this year.
    Miller took part in an exhibition bout against Antonio Zepeda, which went the distance.
    However, before he took to the ring the 6ft4in orthodox slugger treated a Miami audience to a glimpse of his rap skills.
    Fans online laughed at the amount of time it took Miller to get to the ring.
    But, you imagine he will tone it down in Saudi Arabia.
    Don’t mention drugs
    Although he’s partial to chuffing on a cigar or two, that can hardly be frowned upon
    But in 2019, Miller tested Eddie Hearn’s patience after failing TWO separate drug tests.
    Two months before he was to step in the ring with Joshua, he tested positive for the performance-enhancing Cardarine.

    Then, just a few days later, he tested positive when a human growth hormone was found in his system.
    The latter killed any chance of a fight happening, and Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn was livid.
    He told the Daily Mail: “I can confirm we have been notified of another failed test. I am disgusted.
    “You want to give someone the benefit of the doubt and that was very hard after the first one. To have a second one is disgusting. The sport can have no room for this. 
    “In a way I am happy – it shows the VADA testing works and we have kept him out of the ring.
    “AJ will face any clean fighter and beat him.”
    Miller was slapped with a two-year ban from boxing, and removed from the rankings.
    The likely reunion between Miller and Hearn, who will be in Saudi as AJ’s promoter, could be box office.
    He’s a big lad
    Standing at 6ft4in, Miller is slightly smaller than Dubois – who will have an inch on his foe.
    But, the weigh-in will certainly make interesting viewing.

    Miller made short work of Ariel Esteban Bracamonte last year
    While Dubois clocked in at around 233lbs in his last fight against Oleksandr Usyk, Miller will most certainly dwarf that number.
    Last year, ahead of his comeback fight against Ariel Esteban Bracamonte, he cut a completely different figure.
    Miller tipped the scales at an astonishing 341lbs, some two stone heavier than when he was in his prime in 2018.
    He was even heavier than the 335lbs which Hafthor ‘Thor’ Bjornsson came in at for his bout with Eddie Hall last year.
    Miller’s continued to remain heavy in the defeats of Derek Cardenas and Lucas Browne – both disposed by knockout.
    Against Zepeda, in that exhibition fight, he came in at a whopping 325lbs.
    Watch out Jake Paul
    Although Miller isn’t afraid to call out British boxers – he’s tried to lure Fury, Whyte and AJ into the ring previously – it’s YouTuber Jake Paul who he is focused on.
    They have beef, after Paul teased him in the run-up to his brother Logan Paul’s match-up against Floyd Mayweather in 2021, however they have sparred together.
    Jake thought he was Money Mayweather’s bodyguard, before asking him repeatedly: “Do you lift?”
    A bemused Miller laughed off the encounter. However, he has since began a campaign to fight Paul.
    On Instagram, he has tagged the social media star on training videos as he chases that fight.
    All we can say is take cover, Jake.

    But what happened to the rest of those that were given their first taste of the big time while still a kid? Here Sun Sport takes a look at the top ten youngest stars to debut in the Prem.
    10. JACK ROBINSON (16 yrs 260 days)
    The defender became Liverpool’s youngest-ever player in the Premier League when he came off the bench against Hull City in Rafa Benitez’s final match in charge on May 9, 2010.
    A number of loan spells followed at Wolves and Blackpool as did international recognition with England from under-16 to U21 level.

    But he departed Anfield after making just two more Prem appearances for QPR in 2014.
    He stayed there for four years, with a loan to Huddersfield included, prior to joining Nottingham Forest.
    Now Robinson is back in the Premier League with Sheffield United after helping them to promotion from the Championship last term having moved to Bramall Lane in 2020.

    9. REECE OXFORD (16 yrs 236 days)
    The now 24-year-old was tipped for major things after captaining England at various youth levels – and he announced his arrival on the big stage in some style.
    Most read in Football
    Back in August 2015 he shone on his senior debut as West Ham won 2-0 at Arsenal, but things soon turned sour.
    Despite penning a long-term contract on his 18th birthday, he was shipped out on loan to Reading before two spells with Gladbach in the Bundesliga followed by another with Augsburg.
    The defender then left the Hammers permanently in 2019 for Augsburg after making just a further seven top-flight appearances, and he remains with the Bundesliga outfit today.

    8. RUSHIAN HEPBURN-MURPHY (16 yrs 198 days)
    Swindon Town’s 25-year-old forward made his Prem bow from the bench for Aston Villa in a 4-0 win at Sunderland on March 14 2015.
    Having graduated through their academy, he played 13 times more in the league for them inbetween loans at Cambridge United, Tranmere and Derby.
    But the ex-England U20 ace left Villa Park for Cypriot side Paphos in 2020 and scored SEVEN on his debut in a pre-season friendly.
    After five goals in his first campaign, his missed the entirety of the second through injury and was ultimately released last year, resulting in a free transfer to Swindon which has led to eight goals in 32 League Two appearances.

    7. GARY MCSHEFFREY (16 yrs 198 days)
    The now 41-year-old has now had a taste of management himself following a one-season spell at Doncaster.
    But way back in February 1999 he made his Coventry debut against local rivals Aston Villa and helped them to a 4-1 win.
    The former left-winger, is a Coventry legend after two spells with the Sky Blues, which were sandwiched between four years at Birmingham.
    He also played for the likes of Nottingham Forest and Leeds before finishing his career in non-league after a spell playing for Doncaster.

    6. JOSE BAXTER (16 yrs 191 days)
    The attacking midfielder was tipped to potentially be the next Wayne Rooney when he burst on to the scene for Everton and made his debut on the opening day of the 2008/09 season.
    But after just seven top-flight appearances and a loan at Tranmere he headed to Oldham.
    His displays there earned him a move to Sheffield United, and he produced the best form of his career with the Blades in League One before he was suspended after testing positive for ecstasy in 2016.
    Everton offered him a lifeline and a one-year deal after that ban but he was released at the end of the season after not making a first-team appearance.
    Baxter went on to play for Oldham again and then Plymouth before moving to Memphis 901 FC for a year, then he retired aged 29 in 2021.

    5. AARON LENNON (16 yrs 129 days)
    The winger came through the ranks at Leeds and came off the away to Tottenham in a 2–1 loss in August 2003 for his bow.
    Spurs soon recognised his potential and headed to White Hart Lane two years later, where he went on to spend a decade at the North London club.
    Lennon also became an England regular, winning 21 caps, and then signed for Everton after a loan spell there.
    Three years at Goodison was followed by two at Burnley before 12 months in Turkey at Kayseri, but he returned to the Clarets to finish his career and hung up his boots last year.

    4. IZZY BROWN (16 yrs 117 days)
    The former England youth ace tragically had his career cut-short through injury and retired in April 2023.
    He made his Prem debut for West Brom 4 May 2013 in a 3–2 home defeat to Wigan.
    Just months later he controversially moved to Chelsea before the forward embarked on a number of loans to Dutch side Vitesse, Rotherham, Huddersfield, Brighton, Leeds, Luton and Sheffield Wednesday.
    After just one top-flight appearance for the Blues, he eventually left permanently in 2021 to join Preston, but he failed to play a single game for them due to injury and he eventually retired.

    3. MATTHEW BRIGGS (16 yrs 68 days)
    Briggs was just 16 when he was thrown into Lawrie Sanchez’s Fulham first team away to Middlesbrough in May 2007 and he told Sun Sport how he headed back into school on the crest of a wave.
    But his career at Craven Cottage never really took off and he ventured to Millwall, Colchester, Chesterfield and Barnet before, aged 28, he dropped to non-league with Maldon & Tiptree.
    That led to a brief spell in Denmark as well as playing internationally for Guyana, having turned out for England at various levels up to Under-21, but these days he is lining-up at 32 for Horsham.

    2. HARVEY ELLIOTT (16 yrs 30 days)
    The now 20-year-old is a first-team regular these days for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and England’s U21s.
    But it was for Fulham in 2019 that Elliott made his Premier League debut after replacing Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa in a 1–0 away defeat to Wolves.
    He left the Cottagers that summer for Anfield, and after shining on loan at Blackburn in the 2020/21 season, he has collected a League Cup, Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup medal with the Reds.

    1. ETHAN NWANERI (15 yrs 181 days)
    The Gunners starlet rewrote history as the Premier League’s youngest player aged just 15.
    And less than 24 hours later, he still handed in his English homework on time, revealed his former schoolteacher to Sun Sport.
    The Arsenal sensation replaced Fabio Vieira in the 92nd minute of the 3-0 win away at Brentford on September 18, 2022 and, at 15 years and 181 days, he smashed the previous record held by Harvey Elliott. 
    He penned a long-term deal with the club over the summer and Mikel Arteta has high hopes for the youngster.

    Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin lifestyles compared with AJ worth £200m while rival fosters dogs with banker girlfriend

    IT is the boxing event of the year.Riyadh Season has thrown up a fight card to remember – with Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder on the same bill for December 23 and the Day of Reckoning.

    Sadly, they won’t be fighting each other. AJ has instead been paired up against Otto Wallin.
    Infamously, the Swede gave Tyson Fury a run for his money – taking him all 12 rounds before judges called a tight fight in the Gypsy King’s favour – despite the Brit suffering an awful cut.
    Outside the ring, Joshua, 34, and Wallin, 32, live very different lives.
    The British boxer is estimated to be worth over £200million, while Wallin’s estimated to have made around £1million over the course of his career.

    Joshua boasts an enviable lifestyle, while Wallin’s is paired down.
    Cars
    Thanks to his partnership with Jaguar Land Rover – which is rumoured to be worth £790,000 a year – AJ rolls round London in his choice of a fleet of luxury wheels, including a customised white Jaguar XJR, worth £93,000.
    His favourite motor is his personalised black Range Rover, which he says “looks very professional and sets a standard”.
    He has come a long way since buying his first car aged 17 – a second-hand Vauxhall Astra that cost £1,500.
    Most read in Boxing
    That said, he loved it – calling the motor a “stable, sturdy car.”
    But AJ isn’t that flash in comparison to other boxers.
    There’s no Ferraris or Lamborghinis in sight with his car collection.
    In any case, he was happy to buy his old gym in North London a new minibus.
    Still, his motors dwarf anything Wallin seems to have in his garage.
    A look through his Instagram reveals very little other than a sponsorship with Volvo.
    He has been spotted driving their stunning S90 model, that starts at £63,000.
    While Otto also posed in front of a XC60 priced from £52,000.
    Both big lads, both prefer roomy SUV’s.

    Generous souls
    Underneath the tough guy exteriors, both AJ and Wallin are incredibly generous.
    For Wallin dogs are well and truly his best friend.
    He takes great pride in offering his time to foster K9’s, alongside girlfriend Leilah Diong.
    Most recently he took to Instagram to celebrate the adoption of a pitbull terrier who was in his care.
    With playful video of the pooch’s adorable moments, he wrote: “After fostering King for almost 4 months he’s found his forever home and has been adopted!! It’s the best feeling ever to know @leilahnoelle and I saved him from being euthanized. We’re so happy and excited that he’ll get to live his best life now after going through some very tough times.
    “If you’re ever considering fostering – DO IT. This was our 3rd foster and they all have got happy homes now. Nothing beats the feeling of helping an animal in need. Big thanks to @nycacc and everybody that’s ever shared King! We’re so grateful.”
    AJ’s biggest soft spot is for his mum, Yeta and after his Olympic heroics in 2012, he generously bought his mum a home in North London.
    He credits Yeta for his success, after she got him on the straight and narrow following a rebellious period in his youth.

    His parents split when he was 12 but he’s still close to his dad, Robert, too.
    AJ also bought a £500,000 penthouse in North London, for his ex-girlfriend and son JJ’s mum, Nicole Osbourne, despite them splitting up.
    Girlfriends
    AJ has always remained tight-lipped about his romances, insisting he would rather concentrate on his career.
    However, he did claim that presenter Laura Woods was once his dream date.
    In a recent interview with Louis Theroux, the heavyweight boxer revealed he was single and that any prospective date should be warned he still lives with his mum.
    Wallin is more lucky in love.
    He met JP Morgan banker Leilah Diong in 2020, and the two have been inseparable ever since.
    They keep their relationship to themselves, with Wallin sharing a glimpse of his love life on Instagram.
    Leilah’s Instagram account though is kept to private.
    Wallin is reportedly engaged to banker Leilah Diong

    The couple attended a pal’s wedding earlier this year and celebrated an anniversary at a steakhouse in New York City.
    Otto and Leilah are believed to be engaged.
    When it comes to holidays…
    With such a vast wealth at his disposal, AJ is well-travelled.
    When he isn’t training, AJ enjoys exotic holidays with his family and friends, with his Instagram showing him in Dubai, Jamaica, Miami, Paris and plenty more glam trips.
    However, he is quite frugal with how he travels.
    AJ is sponsored by US sportswear giant Under Armour – who provide him with a private jet, as well as paying him a seven-figure salary.
    Often, trips are sponsored by countries and resorts who want the privilege of having the sporting icon spotted hitting their hottest tourist spots.
    It helps that he reaches 16 million followers on Instagram, so is one of sport’s biggest influencers.
    On the other hand, Wallin squeezed a summer holiday to the Turkish Riviera.
    He shared a video on social media on board a private yacht, where he could be spotted shadow boxing.
    Should Wallin win in Riyadh, expect that yacht to become a lot bigger.
