      She was involved in the ‘High Stakes’ show for promoters Kingpyn and certainly played her part.
      But the fight with Danielka left Elle so exhausted she was struggling to keep to her feet when the result was announced.
      The 25-year-old can be seen breathing heavily as the ring announcer builds up tension.
      As it’s revealed that Elle has won by unanimous decision, she half-heartedly throws her right arm into the air and then appears to stumble into the arms of one of her team.

      The blonde bombshell would recover enough composure to hug her beaten opponent a few moments later.
      The win has proved controversial with many Twitter users believing that Elle was lucky to be declared the winner.

      One wrote: “Elle Brooke was losing that fight how did she win? Rigged.”
      A second tweeted: “How on earth has Elle Brooke won that @kingpynboxing? Feels like it’s just because she’s the big name and will make more money in the next fight.”

      A third agreed with that sentiment: “You’re spot on mate. The whole promo was only Elle Brooke. This is for some reason the Elle Show and the fans don’t care about this OF girl. Danielka won that.”
      It was the third boxing win for Elle to build upon wins over AJ Bunker and Faith Ordway. More

      The blue tick appears on a user’s account when they are verified, or if the user subscribes to Twitter Blue.
      Lineker, who has a whopping 8.9 million followers, often shares his thoughts on the platform.
      His tweets led to him being suspended from the BBC after he was critical of the UK government’s migrant boat plan.
      Amid the blue tick purge, it was noticed Lineker kept his, indicating he is subscribed to Twitter Blue, where users pay £8 a month to be marked as verified.

      But Lineker has revealed the reason behind his decision to pay – with those who have forked out being dubbed as part of the “uncool gang”.
      The former Tottenham star quote-tweeted screenwriter Jemima Goldsmith, who explained that she takes longer than the allotted 30 minutes to notice mistakes in their tweets – after which normal users cannot edit their tweets.
      By paying the subscription, you can edit your tweets later than that.
      Lineker said “same here” – indicating he paid up for the same reason.
      Most read in Football
      Lineker had stated earlier in April that he would keep his blue tick on Twitter because he had been “been paying it for a while” but “only for the ‘edit’ button.”
      His statement came after his account was put “under review”, with fans noticing that the pundit’s blue tick was missing from his account.
      His Match of the Day co-host Alan Shearer jokingly tweeted at Lineker: “Is this really you!!?” More

      Cristiano Ronaldo becomes unverified as Elon Musk begins purge, but Twitter boss PAYS for GOAT rival to keep blue tick

      Users who have refused to sign up to Musk’s unpopular subscription service, which charges $8 per month, have been stripped of their blue tick amid the businessman’s chaotic takeover.
      Football superstar Ronaldo didn’t avoid the cull as he was stripped of his verification badge despite his 108.3million followers.

      The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is the highest earner in the history of sport as he bags a staggering £173million per year at Al-Nassr.
      But that didn’t help his case as the Manchester United legend has become unverified alongside a number of other celebrities as well as journalists, academics and politicians.

      However, some celebs managed to hold on to their ticks as Musk decided to pay for their subscriptions himself.
      Among them is NBA legend and LA Lakers superstar LeBron James, whose profile remained intact.
      The American entrepreneur took to Twitter to back a post from T(w)itter Daily News claiming that some famous people have been offered a “complimentary Twitter Blue subscription”.
      The 51-year-old appeared to confirm that he has indeed covered those expenses.

      Musk tweeted: “I’m paying for a few personally.”
      However, the world’s richest person has a history of tongue-in-cheek tweets ever since purchasing the platform for $44billion (£35.5bn) in October.
      Such as when he created a poll in December asking users to vote whether he should step down as head of Twitter.
      Musk lost the vote by 57.5 per cent but still remains in charge even though he promised to abide by the result. More

      Mount will keep other social channels open
      In the post he revealed his reasoning behind the move, before telling fans how they can continue to support him and posting a heartfelt message to them.
      He said: “Over the years I’ve thoroughly enjoyed connecting with you all on Twitter. Sadly, the platform is changing so I have decided to delete my account.
      “You all can still connect with me on my other social media platforms. Here: http://masonmount.Komi.io
      “Take care, Mason ✌🏻.”
      READ MORE ON CHELSEA
      Mount has struggled with injuries and form this season – and there is much speculation over his future.
      The playmaker’s issues have only served to exacerbate Chelsea’s increasingly lame season.
      Despite an outlay of £600million on transfers and a huge fee to bring in ex-boss Graham Potter, Chelsea find themselves down in 11th in the Premier League.
      Indeed, so profound is their situation that Chelsea sit closer to the relegation zone than they do the top four, with a tough season run-in under interim boss Frank Lampard to go along with this.

      Comments under Mount’s post were switched off. But quote tweets remained on to allow fans to share their thoughts.
      One user said: “No matter what Mason thank you 💙.”
      A second typed: “Mase 💔.”
      “Goodbye my king,” added a third.
      However, some users believe Mount’s decision stems from abuse he has received from so-called fans online.
      One user speculated: “Disappointing that it’s come to this, but I understand why he would. A real shame our own fanbase probably is a factor in this decision.”
      Another said: “This is actually sad man you lot have abused him so much. He deserves better.”
      While a third added: “Bullying your own player off Twitter is wild.”
      Mount has 1.8million followers on his Twitter page and 5.6million on Instagram. More

      Man Utd fans spot surprising detail on Mason Greenwood’s social media profiles as his career hangs in balance

      by

      MASON Greenwood’s social media profiles still say he is a Nike athlete – despite him being dropped by the global sports brand more than two months ago. Manchester United fans spotted the mistake on the footballer’s Twitter and Instagram accounts, which he hasn’t posted on since January 2022.
      Charges against Mason Greenwood, including attempted rape and assault, were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service

      The forward, 21, stopped playing for the Red Devils last year when he was arrested on suspicion of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour.
      Greenwood was cleared of any wrongdoing last month when the Crown Prosecution Service dropped all charges, but his future with the club remains uncertain.
      Nike also terminated its multimillion-pound boot deal with the sportsman, who cannot play but is getting his £75,000-a-week wage.
      He was officially let go when he was first charged, but a spokesperson suggested Greenwood’s deal will not be renewed.
      READ MORE ON GREENWOOD
      They said: “Mason Greenwood is no longer a Nike athlete.”
      However, he continues to publicly affiliate himself with the sportswear giant.
      His Instagram, where he has 2.7 million followers, links to the official Nike football page, while he describes himself as a “Nike athlete” on Twitter, where he has 1.3 million.
      Footie fans are demanding he “immediately” remove any mention of the brand.
      Most read in Football
      One said: “Greenwood needs to take off ‘Nike athlete’ from his Twitter bio or I’ll stop using anything.”
      Another wrote: “I see Greenwood still has Nike on his Twitter. Please remove immediately.”
      The Sun has contacted Nike for comment.
      Greenwood, who has a contract at Old Trafford until 2025, remains suspended, meaning he cannot train or play.
      He had his first face-to-face meeting with Man Utd chiefs since his suspension on February 16, sparking rumours he may be gearing up to return.
      The summit was his chance to give his account to the club of the circumstances around social media posts by a woman which led to his arrest last year.
      A source said: “Only when the club has the full picture can they start to move things forward.”
      His teammates are said to be hesitant about welcoming him back.
      An insider said: “The players are open to him returning to the team but the scrutiny could be massively distracting.
      “The dressing room is the happiest it has been for ages and no one wants to rock the boat.”
      It could mean he seeks a career abroad, with some suggesting he is eyeing a move to China while others say AC Milan is making inquiries.
      If Greenwood does leave United, his shirt number will be up for grabs – and one player is primed to take it.
      The Express reports that Brazilian star Antony is in the running to inherit number 11.

      Before his arrest, Greenwood was valued at around £50million and regarded as one of the hottest young talents in European football.
      As well as being dropped by Nike, EA Sports removed Greenwood from its iconic FIFA video game.

      Coventry will be back in action on Saturday, hosting relegation battlers Reading.
      Blackburn, meanwhile, will travel to Deepdale to take on Preston North End.

      Man Utd legend Gary Neville responds after Jeff Stelling takes cheeky dig about Salford fans

      by

      GARY NEVILLE hit back at Jeff Stelling after the Soccer Saturday presenter slammed Salford City’s attendance.Hartlepool fan Stelling, 68, watched his side lose 2-0 to Salford on Tuesday evening – a club co-owned by Neville and his ex-Manchester United team-mates David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville and Paul Scholes.

      The result leaves Hartlepool three points adrift of safety in League Two with three games remaining.
      Meanwhile, Salford occupy the final spot in the play-offs, sitting above Mansfield on goal difference having played a game more.
      But Stelling was quick to focus on the size of the crowd for the fixture.
      The Peninsula Stadium welcomed 2,139 fans in for the game – several hundred of which were the away contingent.

      And the Soccer Saturday host was quick to hit out at Salford for their attendance figure, citing Bradford’s regular 20,000 fans as a total that dwarfs the Greater Manchester-based club.
      Speaking on Twitter, he said: “Did someone forget to tell fans of@SalfordCityFC there was a game? 2,139 – 500 of those from @Official_HUFC [Hartlepool United]!
      “Some may say they are an artificially created club. After all@officialbantams [Bradford City] get 20000.
      “And yes I know we will probably get relegated, but support your team ffs!”

      Neville swiftly leapt to the defence of his club as he responded to Stelling.
      He replied: “We’re quite proud to have got to a crowd of 2,139 from an average of 120 and 40 season ticket holders 7/8 years ago in the Evo-Stik North!
      “Hope the head isn’t too woolly when you get up 🍺🍷😂.”
      When one user suggested Hartlepool’s attendance isn’t much higher than Salford’s, Neville added: “Founded in 1908 and have crowds of 3,500.”
      Another follower then intimated it will be awkward when Stelling sees Neville in the Sky offices.
      To which the former Man Utd man said: “Thankfully I don’t 😂.”
      Salford secured four promotions in five seasons between 2015 and 2019.
      The 2022/23 campaign is their fourth successive term in League Two, with 11th, 8th and 10th-place finishes to date.
      But they are now into the play-off places as they seek a spot in the third tier.
