    After a bit of argy-bargy, KSI said: “Best believe January 14, you’re finished.
    “I am the nightmare, KSI, You don’t want to f**k with me!

    The American model is best known for streaking on the pitch during the 2019 Champions League final.
    The ex-girlfriend and accomplice of YouTube star Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, she promoted her former partner’s adult website Vitaly Uncensored when running onto the pitch in a revealing bikini during the Spurs-Liverpool clash.
    She took centre stage at Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano when she raced across the turf in the skimpy swimwear.
    And she even trolled Spurs’ Harry Winks, joking that he appeared “distracted” as she ran past him.

    She has become an entrepreneur since increasing her fame
    Kinsey’s antics sent her Instagram followers from 230,000 to over a million in the space of a night – a figure which has since increased to 3.6m.
    Fans rushed to see her saucy collection of snaps from around the world – many of them in little more than her Champions League final outfit.
    Explaining why she stripped off in Madrid, she wrote on Instagram: “STREAKING THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE! Life is for living, do crazy things that you will remember forever.”
    She later went on to add: “I definitely wasn’t prepared for what was to follow that game.

    “I’m very thankful for that experience as it grew my platform that I now have to share and connect with a wider audience across the world.”
    It wasn’t just at the Champions League final where Wolanski streaked, as she interrupted the Men’s Slalom at the FIS Ski World Cup in January 2020.
    She paid tribute to Kobe Bryant in Austria after the basketball legend tragically died in a helicopter crash just days before.
    Aside from her surprise appearances at sporting events, she has also been known for her work on the X-rated site ran by her former partner Vitaly.
    And the porn website “Vitaly Uncensored” was written on the bikini she wore while streaking at the Champions League final.
    It was launched by Vitaly, with the YouTuber promising “pranks on another level, something you’ve never seen before, way to explicit for YouTube.”
    He added: “When the censors tell me ‘no’, I say ‘f*** them’.”
    Kinsey is no longer affiliated with the website.
    MAGAZINE SHOOTS
    However, she has since appeared in Sports Illustrated, FHM and Maxim, keeping her public persona relevant.
    Two years before the Tottenham-Liverpool pitch invasion, she also came eighth in Miss Jetset 2017.
    More recently, though, she has shown off her impressive football skills for her followers.
    Earlier this year, Kinsey uploaded a clip of her juggling the ball, dribbling and shooting.
    She even struck one effort right into the top corner to wow those on her social media.

    Danis is currently signed to MMA promotion Bellator but has not fought since 2019.
    However, that has not stopped him from calling out numerous fighters on social media over the past three years.
    And Brit KSI, who is in the Lone Star State to promote a fight under his Misfits Boxing banner, has been his latest target.

    He asked him: “How are you doing? You’re looking small?”
    KSI replied by saying he was excited, to which Danis responded: “Yeah I’m excited too, you gonna sign the contract or no? You want me to choke you out right here?”
    His rival retorted with: “Nah you don’t need to. But I could knock you out right now if I wanted to.”

    Suddenly Danis exploded and threw a left-hand jab at KSI’s jaw before security raced in to intervene to pull him away.
    KSI was heard yelling “get off me” as he was restrained also as the bad blood between the two men boiled over.
    However, the trouble did not stop there as Danis soon found himself in another heated exchange after he had been removed from the hotel staging the event.
    MMA and boxing veteran Anthony Taylor, a previous sparring partner of Jake Paul, chased after Danis and sent him stumbling backwards with a right hand.
    Taylor then scuffled with another man before security jumped in and managed to usher Danis out of harm’s way. More

    The two wins in one night had fans calling for a fight with Jake Paul, who is forging his own career in boxing.
    And to step up his pursuit of Paul, it was confirmed KSI would return in January, with Paul’s former two-time opponent Woodley in pole position to accept a showdown.
    Woodley recently came face-to-face with KSI at ringside at Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition with Deji.
    Woodley demanded the paperwork be signed – but the fight now appears to be OFF.

    The former UFC star went on a scathing rant on social media, accusing KSI of trying to weight-drain him, while also leaking the fight contract.
    He first wrote: “Warned this b****! KSI, Why would you offer me a fight vs you then bail? Why would u send me a contract to b**** out and take a lesser opponent?
    “Why would you have my name in your mouth for two years and not step up?
    “Why do a poll of one million people, that all said fight me, and you run.”

    Woodley continued: “When KSI blames it on Logan Paul and his injury or budget, I have two companies that will fund the purse. Try again. I’m done talking about it. My last post on it.”
    In a leaked screenshot, the contract reads: “Maximum of 175lb at the official weigh-in on the day before the bout, and shall be a maximum of 185lb in the afternoon on the day of the fight.
    “Promoter will use best endeavours to ensure the local commission administer this second weigh-in.
    “If the boxer is overweight at either weigh-in, the promoter will be given the option to terminate the agreement and cancel the bout.”
    A rehydration clause means that a fighter cannot gain more than a pre-agreed weight after the weigh-in and before the bout.
    Woodley – who is considered one of the best 170lb fighters in UFC history – weighed in at 190lb mark for both of his defeats by Paul. 
    KSI is expected to announce a new opponent in the near future. More

    Paul, however, has registered KO and decision wins over former UFC welter and middleweight champions Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva – victories which have impressed Aspinall.
    The Wigan warrior told Midnite: “I’ve got an unpopular opinion about Jake Paul, I think Jake Paul’s pretty good.
    “I think Jake Paul’s been handling himself pretty well in the boxing stuff that he’s got into.”
    Paul, 25, is seemingly edging closer to a long-awaited grudge match with fellow social media star Tommy Fury.

    Aspinall knows Fury well having been a regular sparring partner of his brother Tyson and believes the Paul match-up makes sense at this stage of his career.
    He said: “I know Tommy personally, I’ve known Tommy since he was 14-years-old.
    “I know that Tommy is from a fighting family. I know Tommy is a good fighter himself.
    “And I think it’s a great matchup for both guys and from what I can see it seems a pretty even matchup, which we like to see.

    “We don’t like to see one guy versus a sh*t guy.

    “That’s where the excitement comes. What’s going to happen?
    “We don’t know. That’s what’s exciting in combat sports.”

    Paul has also flirted with the prospect of fights with MMA superstars Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor, bouts Aspinall thinks he’d do well in.
    He added: “Jake Paul and Nate Diaz or Conor McGregor are even fights, definitely. Both guys have got a lot of experience.”
    The Fury fight, however, is the one Aspinall is eager for The Problem Child to take next.
    He said: “But I want to see Jake Paul against someone young, hungry and fresh rather than someone with lots of miles on clock like he’s been fighting, which is fair enough for where he is in his career.

    “But sooner or later you’ve got to tick the box of someone in a similar position to where he is.

    And Fury said it is time to settle the score once and for all with talks between the two camps underway.
    He told TMZ Sports: “I want this fight more than anything because it’s a chance for me to put everything that I’ve been hearing for the past two years to bed.
    “And it needs to be put to bed because at the end of the day this man is not in my class, he’s not in my league, and he’s a YouTube fighter, that’s what this man is.
    “I am a proper fighter, from a fighting family. I’ve got aspirations of winning world titles.”

    Paul, 25, most recently beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in October, the biggest win in his 6-0 career.
    Meanwhile Fury, 23, returned last weekend in Dubai in a last-minute exhibition bout against replacement Rolly Lambert, 33.
    American Paul Bamba, 33, was withdrawn on the day amid a weight disagreement and Paul was a special guest commentator on the night.
    After Fury cruised past six rounds, the two clashed post-fight and an agreement to fight in February was struck.

    The 2019 Love Islander has twice pulled out against Paul in the past, firstly due to a rib injury and then amid a US visa issue which still persists.
    So the American has agreed to cross enemy territory to commence battle – so long as a signed contract is returned within seven days.
    Meanwhile Fury has called for the fight to take place at Wembley stadium, which has a capacity over almost 100,000.
    He said: “I feel like this fight is a Wembley fight. I feel like it would do 80,000 very comfortably.
    “If you asked anybody walking down the street on Saturday night, ‘Do you want to watch Jake Paul versus Tommy Fury at Wembley?’

    “Everybody is going to say yes, I believe it is a massive, massive pay-per-view event.
    “It’s a massive event itself in the UK, because both of us are very well known.
    “Obviously, Jake’s known very well in the UK, most of my fanbase is in the UK.
    “So I think it’s a bigger seller over there and my team will work endlessly to get the best arena/stadium for that fight.”
    Opposing teams are now locked in talks and Fury predicted he will make easy work of Paul.

    He said: “This fight does not go the distance. There’s no chance in hell cause I won’t let it go to the distance.

    “I can’t see it going past four rounds. I can’t.”

    And the pressure will be ramping up in the coming days as Gareth Southgate’s side look to have another successful tournament.
    And ahead of England’s World Cup opener against Iran, Sterling has revealed how YouTube and mental health apps are the key to helping him relax in between games.
    He said: “One of my favourite apps to get ready for a game is YouTube. I like to escape a little in humour and distract myself from any nerves.
    “When it’s closer to the games I like to use my Headspace app and focus on my breathing and try to be present for the game.”

    The winger, who has netted 19 goals in 79 appearances for England, also revealed a strange quirk he uses to try and keep a scoring streak going.
    He said: “If I score, I’ll just try to wear the same trainers with my tracksuit to the next game – and if I don’t score it’s going back in the closet.
    “When it comes to really big games, I try to get myself in the mindset of how I’m going to affect the game, and the more I don’t think about the game and go about my everyday life the better, to try to block the noise out.”
    Sterling, brand ambassador for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, also discussed the inspirations that took him from the playing fields of north London – to playing at Wembley itself.

    He said: “There was quite a few inspirational people to me – my mum, anyone I shared a moment with being around a football field, they played a part in that as well.
    “What’s made me the person I am today is all the setbacks I’ve had, all the ‘can’ts’ – you can’t do this, you can’t do that, you’re not good enough – those sort of things always drive me.
    “The way I want to inspire the next generation is to give as much back as I can, that includes time, things I know a lot of communities need, and give back in that sense.
    “Not just throwing money out there, but valuable time, and showing young people if you put your time and energy in, what you can achieve.”
    Sterling was among the players taking part in training in searing Qatar heat – but James Maddison was absent again. More

    Carl Froch said ‘it is disgusting’ Jake Paul is considered a boxer
    The former world champion was asked to name when YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul faced Ben Askren, Nate Robinson and Anderson Silva.
    But Froch, 45, responded: “Jake Paul is a clown, such a f****** idiot. What a ponce. He’s not even a fighter.
    “He shouldn’t even be on this list. You have disgraced this list by putting his name on it.
    “It is disgusting you have put him on this list of boxers.”

    Paul knocked out retired MMA welterweight Askren, 38, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, and former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 40.
    And in October he scored the biggest win of his career by beating UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, who also had a 4-1 record in the ring.
    But before the bout, Froch – who retired in 2014 after knocking out Groves – took another swipe at Paul, 25.
    He told William Hill: “Jake Paul can’t fight, he’s pretending, he’s conning people.

    “He’s got his audience, I don’t begrudge him – he’s making money and doing what he’s doing. But he’s not a professional boxer.
    “He knows not to come anywhere near me. He’s bigger than me, he’s 14 stone, he’s younger than me, he’s fresher, he thinks he can fight.
    “I wouldn’t even train for this guy, I’d do a little bit of training.
    “I might do the odd little run to get the heart beating, but I’d take Jake Paul to school and hammer him.
