But you’re judgemental and that’s worse.”Over the weekend, sportsperson Nicola has opened up about her heartbreaking split in an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday.read more on Nicola AdamsShe said: “I have always been incredibly supportive of Ella’s career and the choices she has made, including her work on OnlyFans.“She is an amazing woman, and I admire her confidence and ­independence.“However, as much as I respect what she does, I can’t deny that it has had an impact on our relationship.”The couple have a two-year-old son, Taylor Nate, born via IVF using one of Nicola’s eggs.Most read in BoxingThe former flyweight, who is the first British woman to win an Olympic boxing gold medal, said: “I’ve always considered myself to be mentally strong, but I’ve found this situation challenging at times and have had to reflect on how ­sustainable it is — especially as we raise our son together.“Parenthood changes your perspective on so many things, and I’ve had to be really honest with myself about my emotions and what’s best for our family.Olympic boxing champ Nicola Adams on becoming a mum through IVF‘Both been to therapy’“Ella and I have shared so much love and happiness and, no matter what happens, my respect and admiration will never change.“Right now, we’re navigating this as openly and honestly as possible, with the priority being our little boy.”Speaking from her home in Dubai, Nicola revealed that the couple tried several months of therapy before calling it quits.She said: “The decision to split has been a gradual process.“We first discussed the notion of breaking up five months ago and came to the decision over a period of time.In the wake of Nicola’s comments, Ella reposted from another OF starBoxing champ Nicola publicly addressed their separation over the weekendCredit: SplashThe former couple have a two-year-old son, Taylor Nate, born via IVF using one of Nicola’s eggsCredit: Nicola Adams/Instagram“We’ve both been to therapy, ­separately and together, to try to help heal our trauma, and we decided that it would be easier for us to split.“We need to be apart — it’s a lot easier to fix yourself.“It’s been hard because Ella has been my best friend for so long, so not having her there has been a big change for me and I’m still getting used to it. We’ve tried to keep it amicable and do things as a family for Taylor.”Nicola has been open in the past about her difficult childhood, ­growing up in poverty and pain in Leeds, throwing herself into boxing as protection from her violent father, named Innocent.A 2021 Prime Video documentary — named Lioness after her old nickname in the ring — also highlighted a rift with her mother and long-time supporter, Dee, who she is estranged from.Nicola believes she is still coming to terms with what she went through as a child.She said: “I have a lot of childhood trauma.

She said: “Our early years experiences are worlds apart.“I grew up on a council estate in Leeds in a single-parent household, I didn’t have anything to do.“There were people in my neighbourhood drug dealing and stealing cars — it was very different to how he is living now.“Even as a two-year-old he has a full social life, going swimming, having golf lessons and listening to music.“Thanks to the career I have had, I don’t have to work as hard as my parents did. I never got to see them, whereas I can spend so much time with Taylor.“Taylor is super-happy and ­confident. He is really independent and I love the person he is evolving into. He is a bundle of joy.”In 2020, Nicola made TV history when she became the first same-sex pairing on Strictly Come Dancing with Russian pro dancer Katya Jones.Unfortunately the pair had to pull out of the competition when Katya caught Covid, but Nicola thinks they could have won the Glitterball trophy.I do a lot of meditation and see a therapist to help me combat it [trauma]. I can also see trauma in other people too.Nicola AdamsShe said: “It was such a cool ­experience.“Learning how to open up and perform was awesome.“People still recognise me from the show and they have no idea about my sporting history.“I still talk to Katya. She really got the best out of me, and I liked the fact she had just as much energy as I did, so we were able to really get the dance moves right. It was a good partnership.“I definitely think we would have made the finals. I’m confident we’d have won. It was just unlucky that she got Covid.”Nicola admits that Ella struggled with the show as they were isolated during the height of the pandemic.Nicola said: “It was lonely for Ella. We filmed during lockdown so we had to be in a bubble.“Ella wasn’t able to go see friends, so when I’d be out training from like 9am to 9pm, I think it was quite tough for Ella being alone for that amount of time.“Then the only people she’d get to see when we came back was either me or Katya.“I think it would have been a nicer experience if we’d have done Strictly now, where you can talk to everyone.“We couldn’t even interact with the other dancers or contestants — it wasn’t as social as the show normally is.”But she did not fall victim to the Strictly curse and enjoyed later ­teaching Ella the dance moves.Nicola said: “In some ways there are some good points as I was able to teach her all the dances.”Read More on The SunWhile Nicola is not currently ­dating, she is looking forward to new work projects this year, including ­acting in a movie and launching a podcast with the BBC.She said: “I don’t want a rebound relationship, I just want to focus on my work and being a good mum.”Nicola on her way to beating Sarah Ourahmoune to retain Olympic flyweight title in Rio in 2016Credit: Getty More

      ‘This is everything for me’ – Liam Cameron out to snatch Ben Whittaker’s ‘stardom’ from him in bitter rematch

      by

      LIAM CAMERON is out to snatch Ben Whittaker’s stardom in their bitter rematch.The pair look to settle their score on Easter Sunday in Birmingham – six months on from their controversial draw in Saudi Arabia. Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron ahead of their rematchCredit: GettyIn Riyadh, the bout prematurely went to the judges scorecards after five rounds when the pair went over the top rope.Injured Whittaker was unable to continue – with many feeling Cameron was on the road to an upset. Already Cameron won over a legion of fans with his humble approach compared to cocksure showboater Whittaker. And Cameron told Ariel Helwani: “This is life-changing for me. This is mega, mega-stardom for me in my own head. This is everything for me. READ MORE IN BOXING”This is, in a way, life or death in boxing. Do you know what it is? It’s one fight at a time [but] this is how much I want to win this fight — if I could win [just] one more [fight] in my life, and lose every single one of them [after that], it’d be this one.”Whittaker was accused of QUITTING after being pulled out before the halfway mark.And Cameron said: “I can remember thinking, I’m going to start [going through the gears], he’s unraveling — I’m going to stop him. “So I [stepped on the] gas a bit and hit him with some body shots, and he fell off balance, and he’s falling [onto] me. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”Then he’s hitting me low, he’s holding a lot, he’s spitting his gum shield out, and [the fall out of the ring] just happened so fast.”It’s like when you’re having a hard spar sometimes, it’s horrible, [isn’t] it? And you’re tired — and that’s what it [was] like for Ben. Ben Shalom suggests Ben Whittaker vs Liam Cameron contract row has been fixed after ‘expensive’ mistake “He didn’t want [any] part [of the fight], his emotions got to him, he [was] looking all over. “I study body language and stuff — I watched everything of that fight, and he [was] like a rabbit in the headlights. Even in [the] corner, he got [the] shock of his life.”Controversy has also surrounded the rematch too. Cameron revealed he was sent a contract for a 12-round bout while Whittaker’s was for ten. Promoter Ben Shalom appeared to suggest the dispute had been resolved via financial compensation towards Cameron. But the former Commonwealth middleweight champion – now up at light-heavyweight – hit back to say no agreement had been reached. Opening up on the paperwork gaff, Cameron said: “What happened is we signed for a 12-round contract.”When I [was] signing, I thought, ‘This is a bit strange.’ [Whittaker was] tired after five [rounds] the last time, and this is [for] a 12, it [doesn’t] make sense.”Then obviously, a week later, it happened. [Promoter BOXXER was] saying, ‘Can we do 10 [rounds]? There’s been a mishap [with the contract], and will Liam do a 10 [round fight] now?’ And we’ve been saying no.”It remains unclear whether the dispute has been resolved or not. But regardless, Cameron said: “I’ve [now] got confidence in myself. “It can’t be every time that people are having bad performances, they’re [taking] me lightly. It was the same with [Arthur] before Ben. “He [supposedly] took me lightly. I [was] there to get beat both times, stopped, and looked good against.”But I’ve been boxing [for] years. I’ve done everything as an amateur apart from [going to the] Olympic Games. “I [was] on the GB podium [squad], and I turned it down and went pro. I’ve got pedigree, I am a good fighter. “I am, it’s been proven now. I just don’t like the fact that people [are] saying, ‘Oh, it’s an off night.'”That [was] Ben’s time to look good in Saudi. He had a fight penciled in for December, headlining in America. “There’s no way he took me lightly. He [wasn’t] showboating or anything — that’s all excuses. How long ago was that? “[Was] that four years ago [the 2020 Olympics — which took place in 2021]? That form is gone now. Read More on The Sun”[It’s been] four years [since Whittaker was] fighting at [the] elite level. He’s had shoulder injuries, he’s not boxed the best people. “What’s he done in [those] four years of boxing professionally?”Whittaker and Cameron went over the top rope in their first fight which ended a drawCredit: Getty More
