    Things will be settled on Wett Promotions’ maiden event
    Wett took revenge by spray painting the word “theif” on Grace’s car – with fans all too keen to point out that she had spelled “thief” wrong.
    Speaking ahead of the bout, Wett said: “I think she’s actually crazy wanting to get in the ring with someone who’s had two fights before.
    “I’m not a good boxer, I’ve been doing this for a year but she’s not even had one fight.”
    Grace remains in possession of her title belt.
    They shook hands on a pre-fight bet that will see them rematch in Misfits for the women’s flyweight title if Grace can claim an upset victory.
    Grace said: “I’ve said you can have your belt back regardless, win or lose this fight you can have this back, you have my word.
    “If I win, we go on Misfits and we fight for this. I’ll shake on that.” More

    She was subsequently banned from the event’s final, while promoter Hearn was critical of the scene in general.
    Speaking to Boxing Social on the night, Hearn declared: “One thing we must understand is that ain’t boxing.
    “And that needs to be pushed, all that stuff, Misfits, Kingpyn, it needs to be booted so far away from professional boxing and we really need to disassociate ourselves with what it is.”
    Daniella has now directly addressed Hearn’s comments in an interview with The Mirror, but did agree with his sentiment that pro boxing should be dissociated with influencer boxing.

    On Hearn’s criticism, she said: “It was bound to happen. it’s inevitable, isn’t it?
    “Eddie Hearn seems to hate YouTube boxing, he thinks it’s a p*** take and at the end of the day it’s not professional boxing and I think people need to remember that.
    “Professional boxing should totally have its own segment and should be respected in its own way and I think YouTube boxing is entertainment as well as boxing.
    “It’s all different personalities and celebrities coming into the sport, putting on a massive show with all the entertainment and the build-up towards it.

    “It’s not just boxing it’s everything surrounded by it. So I think Eddie Hearn even needs to remember that… YouTube boxing and professional boxing should work together to separate it.”
    Since the incident, Hemsley has revealed she will be taking a break from boxing with an aim to return at the end of the year.
    Taking to her Instagram, she also treated her 189,000 followers to a barely-there bikini picture of her facing out of her window.
    On her boob-flashing, she remarked: “I wanted to get them viral moments, that’s what it’s all about, right?
    “I didn’t think it would blow up the way that it did and I’m always going to get positive and negative comments.
    “Actually, with what I did flashing my boobs and stuff I got way more positive comments than negative.
    “My whole YouTube boxing journey so far has been negative and I think I have gained a lot of respect and a lot of new fans not necessarily from just winning my fight but also expressing myself and not being afraid to show who I am either.”
    Daniella has been given support from the likes of Ebanie Bridges.

    I’ve shared the ring with Jake Paul and Tommy Fury… KSI will lose to BOTH and will never fight me, says Anthony Taylor

    KSI has celebrity money-fights with Tommy Fury and Jake Paul on his radar. The YouTube, music and crossover boxing star has long been in a war of words with Paul, fuelling demand for a grudge fight.

    But after Fury’s February split-decision win over the American in Saudi Arabia, KSI turned his attention to the former Love Islander, 24.
    One man well placed to predict the pair of social media showdowns is MMA fighter-turned influencer boxer Anthony Taylor.
    Taylor spent two training camps sparring Paul in 2021 and went on to lose over four rounds to Fury.
    And he has backed both to beat KSI, who is unbeaten in his seven bouts.

    Taylor, 34, told SunSport: “I think KSI loses both, personally. He hasn’t fought harder opponents. 
    “Now his fans will go, ‘He’s undefeated.’ Look at the guys he’s fought, if Jake Paul fought the same opponents and finished them in the same fashion, you’ll be saying the same thing.” 
    Paul, 26, snubbed a rematch after his first boxing loss to instead return on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC man Nate Diaz, 38.
    So KSI, 30, is instead closing in on a deal to face undefeated 9-0 Fury, with an October bout in the UK being lined up.

    But as talks drag on amid disputes over weight and money, Taylor offered to step in.
    Although he doubts KSI – who trains at MMA gym London Shootfighters – would be advised to take the fight.
    Taylor said: “To be honest, it’s not realistic.
    “KSI’s coach is not going to allow him to fight me because KSI has an MMA stance, I’m an MMA fighter. 
    “I know how to read that stance quick and easy, I’d pick him apart.
    “KSI’s being smart, he’s thinking, ‘If I’m going to lose to Anthony, it’s after I lose to Tommy and Jake.’” 
    Taylor returns on Saturday in Nashville on a Misfits Boxing card promoted by KSI against Paul Bamba, 33, who is 5-3.
    He said: “Kudos for stepping in that ring with me, he’s got heart but skills? He doesn’t have the skill set that comes near me. 
    “He doesn’t work harder than me, he doesn’t train harder than me, he doesn’t train with the same sparring partners as me.

    “He doesn’t know what it’s like to dig deep and get that victory. He doesn’t know what a dog fight is.
    “He doesn’t know the struggles of a fight, he hasn’t been fighting that long.”

    “We’ve had some bad luck with pullouts and you have to think fast.
    “We’ve had to come up with creative solutions.
    “And it won’t be any different if anyone pulls out of our fights, we always try to have ones on standby.
    “But, I do believe this is a great fight and a great test for JJ and I think he’s got this in the bag if they do end up fighting.” More
