    But despite being at the home of Real Madrid, Addison was proudly cheering on Barcelona.
    And it’s a good thing she was too, with Xavi’s side thumping their biggest rivals 4-0 on their own patch.
    Barca’s victory, thanks to a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang double and strikes from Ronald Araujo and Ferran Torres, was all down to Addison.
    That’s if Barcelona’s official Twitter account is anything to go by.

    “Thank you all to everyone for accompanying me on this journey and the Cadistas for their love.
    “We have fulfilled a dream but I don’t want it to end there.”
    Benito, who is the son of former Cadiz player and sporting director Alberto Benito, has more than a million followers on TikTok and over 100,000 on YouTube.
    Benito has moved around various clubs including Spanish side Almeria and Cypriot outfit Anorthosis.

    He then went on to join Swansea City as a youth team player before moving to the US and lining up for Oklahoma Wesleyan University FC and the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs.
    This was the time in which he decided to start a YouTube channel, a move which saw him become a huge star on social media.
    Speaking in the past about starting off in the world of YouTube, he said: “It took time to take the step to become a YouTuber and I started making videos related to the university in the United States because I thought I could help a lot of people who don’t know what can be found here.
    “I like the feedback I have with users and my intention is to be constant and also upload videos that are both personal and relation to football.

    “In the future I would like to continue doing it while I am a footballer.”
    Benito’s Cadiz side have struggled for form at the beginning of the 2021-22 campaign.
    They have managed just one win from their opening eight LaLiga games and currently sit 15th as a result.

    Watch Paulie Malignaggi picked up by security guard after confrontation with TikTok star Corey B ahead of exhibition

    PAULIE MALIGNAGGI was picked up by a security guard after a confrontation with TikTok star Corey B ahead of their exhibition. Somehow, the former two-weight boxing champion is set to fight the comedian, whose real name is Corey Bonalewicz.

    Paulie Malignaggi picked up and carried away by security after clashing with TikToker/radio personality Corey B ahead of their exhibition fight on Oct 2nd…[📽️ @IAMCOREYB] pic.twitter.com/TFHZqPPpPf— Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) August 13, 2021

    That is despite viral troll Corey B having never had a boxing match in his life.
    The dreadful mismatch has been put together by Celebrity Boxing and set for October 10 in Miami, Florida
    Also due to be on the card is NBA legend Lamar Odom, 41, who recently beat singer Aaron Carter, 33, in an equally bizarre bout.
    Malignaggi, 40, clashed with Corey B, 33, while they were both ringside after the retired boxer had CHALK thrown at him.
    And the pair kept up the circus act while on stage to promote their fight.
    I saw his last six fights. Can I take him? He has one arm. It’ll be like fighting Captain Hook. Corey B on Paulie Malignaggi
    As they came head-to-head, Corey B appeared to slap Malignaggi, which prompted a furious reaction.
    The New Yorker went after his rival but was picked up by a security guard, much like a petulant child might.
    Malignaggi retired in March 2017 after losing to Britain’s Sam Eggington.
    But five months later he was involved in a sparring feud with ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 33, after images and video were leaked.
    It saw him feud with the Irishman, so much so that he fought McGregor’s training partner Artem Lobov, 34, in a bare-knuckle bout in July 2019.

    Malignaggi lost and broke his right hand, and the injury was Corey B’s primary reason for taking the fight.
    He told BoxingInsider: “I saw his last six fights. Can I take him? He has one arm. It’ll be like fighting Captain Hook.
    “He’s taken a lot of punches. I’ve got all the footage on him and he has no footage on me so everything is in my favour.”
    Paulie Malignaggi says BKFC with Luis Palomino would be a cool thing to finish his career on More

    TikTok become shirt sponsors for Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham after Euros advertising drive

    TIKTOK will sponsor the shirts of Wrexham, the club’s Hollywood owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have announced. The actors took over the National League side in February.

    They even invested money into the Welsh side one month before the deal was finalised so the club could spend in the January transfer window.
    Now, the celebrity duo have secured a two-year kit sponsorship with social media app TikTok.
    McElhenney, creator of sitcom ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’, said: “We are announcing our new front of kit sponsor.”
    Deadpool actor Reynolds added: “I wonder who it could be.”
    Hairclub, WWE, Laughing Man Coffee Company, Blockbuster, Panam, Philadelphia cheese, Enron, Franken Berry, Mint Mobile, Theranos and De Lorean Motor Company all flash up on screen.
    But the video ends with the TikTok logo along with McElhenney and Reynolds’ usernames.
    The app, where short videos are created, have been sponsoring the delayed European Championships.
    But their next move will be all the way down in the fifth tier of the English football

    Nick Tran, Global Head of Marketing at TikTok, said: “TikTok is uniquely positioned at the centre of entertainment, technology and the creator community to help bring Wrexham AFC’s story to life to global audiences.
    “With the growth of football clubs, players and trends on TikTok, joining Rob and Ryan in returning Wrexham AFC to the English Football League was a natural choice for us.
    “We are proud to play a small part in championing the return of Wrexham AFC to the top-flight of football and sharing the journey with the town of Wrexham, our community, and fans everywhere, in ways only TikTok can.”
