    The American bruiser found himself in crisis mode and was desperate to make the snaps go away.
    So much so, that the Golden Boy was even convinced to pay “millions of dollars” to the Russian mob as he felt they would help erase all the evidence that he thought would tarnish his image.
    De La Hoya told ET: “They told me this story about the Russian mob and this and that and [how] we gotta pay millions of dollars…
    “I’m like, ‘Yeah, well, just make it go away. It’s gonna ruin my image. It’s gonna ruin who the Golden Boy is, and people are gonna hate me. Just make it go away.”

    De La Hoya, though, also revealed he had a “whole machine” behind him that helped him repeatedly deny the photos’ authenticity until he finally admitted the truth in March.
    The 50-year-old also confirmed he paid forensics to tell the public those images were Photoshopped.
    The incident created issues with his marriage, however it didn’t stop him from continuing to party.
    The now boxing promoter, though, believes that all the press helped him sell more pay-per-views.

    De La Hoya told The MMA Hour: “I have a whole machine behind me. I’m in the peak of my career, right?
    “And we’re, like, ‘Holy s**t! How are we gonna make these things disappear, these photos? Let’s hire this forensic…’ I don’t know what he was.
    “He was going through everything, pixel by pixel, and we convince him with money, to say that they were fake.
    “And the world believed it that they were Photoshopped. And we were home free.

    “And guess what happens? I’m married at the time. My wife is angry at me.
    “She’s fed up with me because I’m left and right cheating on her and this and that. She convinces me to go on national TV and tell the truth.
    “She wanted me to look like a fool. She wanted to get back at me. And I did it.
    “I think there’s a certain feeling when you tell the truth. But what was incredible is that I was so big at the time, popular and making money and this and that, that I couldn’t do any wrong.
    “I think I sold more pay-per-views because of it. Which was crazy.

    I was a drug addict – now I’m a tattoo artist and charge celebs £3,000 per inking…how I turned my life around

    A DRUG addict who turned his life around now makes up to £3,000 per inking from celebrity clients – here’s how he did it.Dan Rossetter, from Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex had delved so deeply into the crippling world of addiction, he knew he’d end up dead or in prison if he didn’t stop.
    The 40-year-old travels up to 600 miles away to tattoo celebrity clientsCredit: mediadrumimages
    At the age of 30 he had reached a breaking point after dealing with years of painful trauma from being sexually abused throughout his childhood.
    Battling with PTSD, Dan soon lost his job as a BOC gasman – but tried to find some sense of justice in 2013.
    He bravely spoke out about what had been done to him from the age of six to 11, and three years later the survivor saw his abuser sentenced to 13 years in jail.
    However, this did not put an end to Dan’s addiction, and by March 2019 he knew it would either kill him or land him in prison.

    Dan, 40, who now lives in London, told MediaDrumWorld: “My addiction was getting worse, I got to the point where my mental health was deteriorating rapidly and I was feeling very suicidal.
    “With a lot of hard work and help from some very good lifestyle coaches I managed to get myself clean and sober and then my obsession became work and being the best version of myself.”
    Now four years sober, Dan travels to tattoo pro-footballer clients who live up to 600 miles away, and has amassed nearly 200,000 TikTok followers.
    “I’ve tattooed the most footballers out of any other tattoo artist in the world; I’ve documented a lot of this on TikTok which then blew up so my demand for general public clients has also increased massively,” Dan explained.
    Most read in Football
    “I have clients travelling from all over the UK and also from abroad.
    “Recently I flew over to Spain to tattoo Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard, he wanted a scroll with his five kids’ names in it.”
    The TikTok sensation recounted his biggest work of art was for Chelsea Football Club’s Victor Moses.
    It took the talented artist more than eight hours to complete the black and grey tiger back tattoo.
    HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
    Dan is not new to the industry and kick started his career back in 2010.
    He opened a studio in Gatwick but struggled to manage the business for five years, amid his declining mental health.
    “We made the decision to close the doors in 2015 I partnered up with my business partner Ahmed Alsanawi, AKA A Star Barber,” the tattoo artist said.
    “He is one of the biggest barbers in the world for haircuts for celebrities.
    “I have now been in the game for the last 13 years so I’ve gained a lot of snowball effect returning clients that had kept me busy over the years but what I am most recognised for is tattooing professional footballers.”
    He said clients can fork out anything ranging from £700 to £3,000 depending on the session.
    In his bid to stay at the top of his game, the dedicated artist puts in 12-hour shifts busy days.
    ‘SACRIFICES’
    Despite Dan’s gratitude for the success and fortune he’s found in his dream career – it does come at a cost.
    Being on the road and heavy shift hours has seen the TikTok star “burning out mentally and physically” at times.
    Although he has come a long way since turning his life around in 2019, Dan admitted he does still “struggle” to manage the “demanding” business.
    “Also my neck and back has taken a big hit which to this day still causes me a lot of problems,” he added.
    I’ve tattooed the most footballers out of any other tattoo artist in the world.”Dan Rossetta
    However, none of this keeps Dan away from his studio.
    He said: “But I get to have fun at work too, I have a great memory of when I let four Chelsea players tattoo random things on my leg from a emoji poop to a disabled badge, also the Adidas logo is on there.
    “It was a funny afternoon.”
    KEY TO SUCCESS
    After a difficult start to his career journey, Dan wants to educate other people who want to join him.
    One piece of golden advice he offered was to find ways of expanding your portfolio.
    He said: “Create yourself a portfolio of your artwork and keep knocking at the doors of local studios.
    “Become a pest and keep asking until you get an opportunity.”

    The 40-year-old reminded young artists to stay “relentless” despite it being such a hard industry to break into.
    “If you want it enough you will get your opportunity,” said Dan.

    Shocking moment YouTuber Alex Stein throws ‘hotdogs’ at TikTok star Mo Deen ahead of Misfits Boxing clash

    A CONSERVATIVE YouTuber sparked outrage after hurling hot dogs at his Muslim boxing rival during a press conference. YouTuber Alex Stein and TikToker Mo Deen were set to go head-to-head in the Misfits Boxing 008 until the sickening joke led to the match’s cancellation.

    While fans were offended by the sick gesture, Stein and Deen both believe the fight should go onCredit: Twitter / Alex Stein
    Video from the conference shows the exact moment that Stein riled up the tensions and targeted his opponent with the vile prank.
    It all started after Stein, dressed in a blue suit and sunglasses, stood up to accuse Deen of loving soccer rather than baseball.
    “Here in America our favorite pastime is baseball,” the online troll said to Deen, whose head was wrapped in a covering.
    Deen responded that he had no idea what Stein was talking about before Stein said he brought his opponent a present that would help him to like baseball.

    “I know you love hot dogs so,” he said before chucking a bucket of dogs right at Deen’s head.
    Deen leaped up on the table and charged Stein who continued to taunt him with a microphone in his hand.
    Men at the table jumped into action and barely held back the TikToker who was known for stalking celebrities and posting his encounters online.
    “You love pork, right” Stein continued while Deen, who is believed to be Muslim, fiercely struggled.
    Most read in Boxing
    The entire ordeal completely knocked down the backdrop for the event, which will see the likes of NichLMAO, Swarmz, B Dave, and Ryan Johnston give it their all in the ring.
    They continued to fight later off the stage, with cameramen following Stein as he yanked one of Deen’s shoes off and threw it on the roof of the building.
    Stein exclusively told The U.S. Sun that the entire skit was a joke and that the hot dogs were actually made from turkey.
    He said that he’s friends with Deen and had contacted his management to plan the stunt beforehand.
    He noted that he’s not Islamophobic and is begging for the event to still take place.
    In a video, Deen slammed Misfits Boxing and DAZN for canceling the fight and said there was no real harm in the joke.
    “That’s not fair, and I don’t know what to do or what to say,” he said.
    Onlookers on social media expressed outrage at the situation, saying that Stein should be removed from the tournament.
    “That’s no way to treat a fellow human, he should be banned,” one person tweeted.
    Another person wrote: “That’s very disrespectful.”
    “Misfits really making boxing a joke,” a different critic said.
    The controversy came after Mams Taylor, the co-president of Misfits Boxing, said the event would “push the boundaries” and wanted to bring “fresh and exciting ideas” to the boxing space.
    “We were already thrilled to be taking Misfits to Nashville, but to do so with an event as special as this means even more. Roll on July 22!” he said.

    The tournament will stream exclusively on DAZN on Saturday starting at 8pm.

    Payet was a fan favourite at West Ham and his performances at the club from 2015 until 2017 saw him become a regular in the French national team.

    Reflecting on his decision to leave the Hammers, Payet said he looks back on his time in claret and blue fondly and asked fans to forgive his decision to leave.
    He said: “I spent 18 months [at West Ham] full of emotions and excitement after Euro 2016 but no, I don’t have any regrets. It was a choice I made, a personal choice and a family-based choice as well.
    “Since I left West Ham I have stayed at Marseille, I haven’t gone to any other club and don’t intend on going to any other club so it wasn’t leaving for the sake of leaving.
    “It was a personal decision, a family decision and yeah, it was a pretty brutal break I suppose when I left, that’s true, but I hope over the course of the years West Ham fans have come to understand why I left.
    “I would certainly like and hope to think that.” More
