FLOYD MAYWEATHER is on a six-man list of names in line to fight KSI.

YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI was forced to pull out of his August 31 return after suffering a hand injury.

KSI is hoping to make a boxing return in 2025[/caption]

And he is hoping to be back by next year with talks already underway for who will be his opponent.

His manager Mams Taylor – who co-founded Misfits Boxing with KSI – teased it will be a superstar name with a fierce reputation.

Taylor told SunSport: “It’s gonna be someone big, someone who’s a challenge, someone who people will think is the impossible for a YouTuber to beat.

“And I think that’s what KSI loves. He loves overcoming the odds, he loves the challenge. He loves proving people wrong.

“And I think – despite the actual result of the night – most people thought he won that fight in his last fight and he was a heavy underdog in that one so you know more of that to come.” 

KSI, 31, is yet to return since suffering defeat for the first time, losing a controversial decision to Tommy Fury, 25, in October.

He was due to face TikToker Slim Albaher and ex-MMA fighter Anthony Taylor in a wild two-on-one bout before injury.

That was after talks to fight retired British former world champion Amir Khan collapsed.

But Khan, 37, and Mayweather, 47, remain in the frame for KSI.

Taylor revealed: “Amir is on the hit-list, Floyd is on the hit list for KSI. These are two out of 5/6 guys that we’re all looking at very closely.”

Mayweather officially retired in 2017 after beating UFC legend Conor McGregor, 36, but he has continued to box in exhibitions since.

They have come against opponents from the social media, MMA and boxing world – including KSI’s brother Deji.

But KSI fumed at the way Mayweather refused to take it easy on his inexperienced brother – and is out for redemption in the ring.

Taylor said: “I mean, he was technically the best defensive boxer in history and arguably ever all around. 

“And it’d be an honour to work with him in that capacity with JJ and him if that ever happens.

“And to be honest with you, that was how Deji was thinking, I’m a promoter. I can say that.

“Deji was in awe of Floyd, KSI wouldn’t be in awe of Floyd. KSI wants his revenge for the way he treated his brother.”

DANNY SIMPSON is already being called out to an all-footie fight ahead of his boxing debut.

Misfits Boxing – headed up by YouTuber KSI and his manager Mams Taylor – welcome stars from the social media, celebrity and sports world to fight in crossover-style bouts.

But Simpson – a former team-mate of Cristiano Ronaldo’s at Manchester United – becomes the first footballer to cross over.

And he expects several others to follow his lead having already been challenged behind-the-scenes by Prem rival James McLean.

Simpson told SunSport: “I think if anything you’ve got to be quite brave in in general. But to be the first…

“I hope so, because I said a lot of lads watch love boxing.They go, you always see the footballers at the boxing events ringside and stuff.

“So yeah, I think they’re probably waiting to see what happens first!

“I’ve had James McLean, I mentioned him in an interview and he DM’d me saying when he finishes, he’ll come down, spar and get in the ring.

“So I think a few lads will probably get into it.”

Simpson – during his time with Newcastle – infamously clashed with then-Sunderland forward McLean.

And he has had his fair share of online feuds too, including one he recently put to bed with Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher.

Simpson said: “Me and James McLean had some beef when we played and he’s DM’d me.

“I think I had beef with Carra in the past but that we sorted that out. Obviously, everyone knows Wazza is a good boxer.

“So, yeah there’s names that are popping up so we’ll we’ll see if you know any of them in the future fancy it.”

Wayne Rooney – nicknamed Wazza – was once knocked out in a drunken kitchen spar by Phil Bardsley.

And Simpson – who came up the United ranks with Bardsley – backed the hardman full-back to have the makings of a boxer.

He said: “I think my mate Phil Bardsley. I was with him last week and he’s grew up boxing and around boxing.

“I’d back him to beat anyone I think on on on these cards. So I’d throw him in the mix and and put pressure on him.”

CRISTIANO RONALDO revealed the bizarre thing that “turns him on” during last night’s Champions League draw.

The legendary striker was present at the event in Monaco to help decide the competition’s new group stage format.

Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed what ‘turns him on’[/caption]

But Ronaldo was also gifted a special award to recognise his status as the Champions League’s all-time leading goalscorer.

The former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus superstar netted 140 goals in the competition before departing for Saudi Arabia 18 months ago.

And he was all smiles as he was given his sparkling trophy in front of a star-studded room.

After getting the prize, Ronaldo was asked whether or not he’d still like to be playing Champions League football.

And when fellow draw helper Gianluigi Buffon, who retired from the beautiful game a year ago, declared “Yes, for sure”, Ronaldo also had his say.

But in doing so, he let slip that the Champions League music always left him “turned on.”

Ronaldo said: “The same. Always special, when you hear the music.

“I said before, it turns you on. It’s fantastic.”

Ronaldo then added: Ronaldo continued: “The record speaks for itself, but I mean the pleasure to play in the competition.

“It’s our motivation. When you listen, the music, you’re turning on.

“It’s crazy and for me it was special because I win so many times.”

Ronaldo went on to help Uefa chiefs draw the group stage for this season’s competition.

But the ace’s role was so mundane that he appeared to be bored!

All Ronaldo was tasked with was pressing a button after a ball had been drawn.

And fans were left giggling at his vacant expression.

One said: “Ronaldo is killing me, he’s so so bored.”

Another declared: “Ronaldo is SO bored of standing there pressing the same button every 2 minutes.”

A WOMAN has shared her £6 must-have buy after it stopped her phone from getting snatched by a masked thug in London.

Naarah was filming herself looking excited in a packed area of the capital after going to the theatre.

As she did so, a masked biker emerged behind her and attempted to grab her phone[/caption]

A scuffle ensued – with the phone filming the whole time[/caption]

Naarah said the only reason she didn’t lose her phone – which had her “life” on it – was because of a £6 buy[/caption]

But as she held her phone out in front of her, a masked bike-rider emerged from behind her and attempted to grab it.

Luckily Naarah had the phone attached to her with a safety lanyard, so his attempt was foiled.

The TikTok video showed Naarah filming the happy moment, the man emerging from behind her, and then a scuffle as he attempted to secure the phone.

Speaking after the shocking incident, Naarah said: “It reassured me why I absolutely never leave home without my phone thing.

“Like I was so happy like after the show filming that little moment but I can’t believe I caught that on camera.

“If you’re coming to London small crime is so common here.

“Don’t take it for granted because it literally could happen to you at any point.”

She then urged people to buy one of the cords on Amazon, for just £6.39.

“I 100% recommended so you can keep your phone and your memories and your life close to you,” she said.

“I learnt first hand tonight.”

People took to the comments to ask Naarah to explain further about the safety device, as she explained in another video: “I didn’t mean for the video last night to be a product about this, but I was just so grateful that today I have my main phone which has all of my photos and my life and everything on it.

“And that’s because of having this which is £6 on Amazon.”

She then showed how the lanyard secures to the phone – with a sticker attached to the phone itself with the phone case over the top.

The lanyard can then be clipped onto the phone with the little ring.

“It’s really quick and easy,” she said.

“And then that’s it!”

Naarah showed how she was wearing her phone – across her body with a crossbody bag and a cardigan over the top.

She said she was “so used” to the device, and knows exactly where her phone is going to be.

It also saves the day if she ever accidentally drops the phone

“It’s absolutely worth the six pounds,” she insisted.

“But yeah, this one worked for me and it’s my second one and I’m loving it!”

“Have a good day guys. Stay safe,” she concluded.

People were quick to comment on the video, with one writing: “Had no idea this existed and always paranoid about getting my phone stolen in London.

“Just ordered one, thanks for sharing!”

“I have this phone lanyard, glad it held up,” another added.

“I’m always worried about being dragged with it, if they take my phone.”

“I’m so sad this is what people have to do in my country’s capital,” a third sighed.

“So glad you are ok.”

DANNY AARONS has gone from overweight gamer to the next KSI of Misfits Boxing with a sensational life turnaround.

Aarons was over 17 STONE while rising to fame on YouTube playing FIFA video games.

But amid the rise of celebrity-style crossover bout with Misfits Boxing, the 22-year-old fancied getting in on the action.

He now makes his debut on Saturday night in a headline fight against Premier League winner Danny Simpson in Dublin.

It marks a stunning contrast as Aarons told SunSport: “Obviously there’s physical changes yes but you don’t realise how much of it is mental.

“I was waking up at stupid o’clock doing nothing with my life being so unproductive, eating a bunch of junk food, and it was just not not healthy and not a sustainable way to live.

“So you had to make good change. It’s a mental change, but I’m not a doctor or anything but honestly, just get out, get outside, do some walks, eat clean.”

Aarons is now down to 11st 7lb having put in hours of training under the guidance of coach Huzaifah Iqbal in Surrey.

He said: “It’s easy to to get in there one day and do it cos it’s fun, you know, it’s new.

“But when you have to wake up again, do it the next day and then the next day and the next day it’s just being consistent with it is the is the tough bit.

“The easiest part, I think just my coaches and that they just feel like family, like it’s not like I have to go to training.

“It’s like I’m just hanging out with the boys, man, it feels good.”

Aarons has welcomed being compared to KSI – having gone from content creator to boxer.

He said: “I love pressure. I love pressure. To be compared to KSI, can’t be a bad thing. So I’ll take it.”

AT least six people have died and dozens more are left fighting for their lives after drinking ‘rotgut’ booze infused with toxic chemicals in a holiday hotspot.

The victims allegedly bought the moonshine spiked with methanol and isopropanol from street stalls in Bangkok, Thailand.

Police said they have also arrested two brothers who allegedly admitted to diluting the moonshine[/caption]

Soon after, they began suffering dizziness, breathing difficulties, and vomiting –  telltale symptoms of alcohol poisoning.

At least six people have died after consuming the drink, the Bangkok Post reports.

On top of that, at least 37 individuals aged between 22 to 69 were kept in the hospital on life support.

Fifteen of the injured were put on respirators to help them breathe, 22 required kidney dialysis, and 21 had blurred vision, according to the public health minister Somsak Thepsutin

Authorities traced the source of the rotgut to the house of a woman named Phatrasa in the Saphan Sung district of the Thai capital.

Phatrasa claimed she and her family had been selling herbal liquor for decades without any problems by using a recipe developed by her late father.

She said that the recipe only used natural ingredients and did not include methyl alcohol.

Speaking at a police press conference on August 26, she said was “very sorry” and “didn’t mean to kill anyone”.

She explained: “A year ago, I hired two men, who were brothers, to make rice whiskey for me.

“The batches they made tasted normal, so I continued ordering from them.

“However, last week, my customers reported that the flavour of the liquor had changed.

“They said it tasted weaker and fizzier and seemed to have a lower alcohol content.

“I called the brothers to ask if they had changed the ingredients, but they refused to tell me, only saying they had improved it.

“When I tasted the latest batch of liquor, I had a little diarrhoea, but it wasn’t serious.

“Later, I found out that someone had died from drinking it and I was very shocked.

“I couldn’t believe it could happen. I didn’t understand how it could happen because I had been doing it for a long time.

“I felt guilty and sorry. I didn’t want to kill anyone. I want to help the victims because one of the deceased was my friend.”

Police said they have also arrested the brothers, Surasak Insam, 46, and Surachai Insam, 44, who allegedly admitted to diluting the moonshine with ethyl alcohol “to reduce its alcohol volume”.

However, they claimed to have no idea how the batch sold to Phatrasa ended up containing methyl alcohol.

Police Major General Kiatikul Sonthinen, commander of the Metropolitan Police Bureau Division Three, said: “Phatrasa will be charged with negligently causing death and severe injury to others, and violating the Excise Act by producing and selling liquor without permission.”

Police were also investigating a factory owner in Samut Prakan province who allegedly sold a large bulk of chemicals to the Insam brothers.

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration has urged those who have consumed moonshine from any of the 18 locations announced to see a doctor immediately without worrying about being arrested.

Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, is a simple type of alcohol used as an industrial solvent, antifreeze, and fuel.

It is highly toxic if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin.

Isopropanol or isopropyl alcohol, is a colourless, flammable chemical compound commonly used as a disinfectant, antiseptic, and solvent.

It is widely used in households and medical settings for cleaning and sanitising, but it can be toxic if ingested in large quantities.

ENGLAND legend Gary Lineker was taken aback when transfer guru David Ornstein took a call midway through a podcast recording.

Ornstein was discussing his childhood ambition to become a footballer on The Rest is Football podcast when he was forced to pause.

He said: “Actually I do just have to take a call now. Let me listen to this and I’ll be straight back on.”

After taking the call, the journalist continued: “Sorry about that, Gary.

“That was on Eddie Nketiah. I think it’s progressing towards a conclusion to Crystal Palace.

“It’s not done yet. He still obviously has to do his medical etc.

“But that was indicating that it is heading in the right direction.

“You’re always a bit reticent because, as you’ve pointed out in the past, until the shirt is being held up and the ink is dry and they’re playing for their new team, it isn’t done.

“And that does frustrate a lot of people involved because the reporting often front-runs the reality.

“But in a lot of these cases you are reporting accurately and the reality at that moment in time.”

Eddie Nketiah’s transfer to Crystal Palace is expected to be announced on Friday before the window shuts.

The deal is understood to be worth £30million in total.

Aaron Ramsdale is also expected to leave Arsenal before the deadline.

Southampton have agreed to sign him in a permanent transfer worth up to £25m.

MOLLY-MAE Hague has admitted she was left bed bound after she kicked Tommy Fury out of their home.

The influencer sensationally opened up about life after their split in her first YouTube vlog.

Molly-Mae, 25, said their break-up was not “a publicity stunt” and she would not “spill the tea”, but vowed to keep “moving foward”.

The star also shared a glimpse into how she coped in the days after she dumped the shamed boxer, who was accused of cheating on her.

She said: “I’ve managed to book myself a spa day, I’m so excited.

“I feel like this is so unbelievably needed.

“I couldn’t think of anything worse than just sitting at home all day, especially as that’s what I’ve done for so many days now.

“I’ve just been sort of house bound, bed bound, Zoe’s been coming around to help me alot with Bambi and also Tommy’s been having Bambi as well.”

Molly-Mae revealed their daughter 20-month-old daughter Bambi can “sense” something is wrong.

Reflecting on their routine now, she said: “I’m a little bit run down, got a bit of a cold, bit of a cough, standard.

“I actually have a child free day today and I don’t really know how to act because me and that baby have been joined at the hip.

“We actually had a lovely couple of weeks together.

“I feel so incredibly close to her at the minute. She’s quite frankly obsessed with me, it’s scary.”

She went on: “I can’t go to the toilet or leave the room or do anything without her crying her eyes out which is not really ideal.

“I think she is having a little bit of attachment issues at the minute.

“She can definitely sense that there are changes and things are strange at the minute.

“I can really feel that she can sense that, which is very interesting considering she’s just a baby – she’s not even two yet.”

In the 36 minute video, posted to her YouTube channel, the star said she won’t go into the details of why she broke up with Tommy.

She said: “It’s not something I want to go into.

“He is Bambi’s dad and I will always value him, and respect him and always have a lot of love for him.”

On fan expectations, she continued: “This is real life, it is not drama, it is not tea, it is not a publicity stunt – as much as I wish it was.

“This is real life and it’s very sad and it’s very deep and it just doesn’t feel right for me to come on here and talk about it.”

The Sun revealed Molly-Mae was sent an upsetting video of Tommy on holiday in North Macedonia where he was accused of cheating on her with a Danish girl.

Sources said Molly-Mae was also bracing herself for more women to come foward.

She confronted him over a holiday to Las Vegas in 2022 over similar fears.

Molly-Mae insisted the attention around the split – which made the ITV News – has been overwhelming.

She added: “I think it’s important to deal with it privately, also out of respect to Tommy as well because it’s just not nice.

“I feel like everything over the last couple of weeks has really been a lot. It’s been blown way out of proportion. It’s all got a bit carried away with itself. The last thing I want to do is fuel that fire.

“The best way to deal with this is to move forward, look to the future.”

COPS have launched an urgent manhunt after a 13-year-old boy was stabbed to death at a house in Birmingham.

Emergency services battled to save the boy but he sadly died at the scene.

Detectives are now working to track down “whoever is responsible” for the horror on Lovett Avenue.

A police spokesperson said: “We have a team of detectives investigating exactly what happened during this tragic incident.

“And we’re following active lines of enquiry to identify who was involved.”

Detective Superintendent Shaun Edwards said: “It’s absolutely tragic a young life has been lost.

“We have specialist officers who will be supporting the family of the boy.

“We have detectives working flat out to find whoever is responsible and bring them into custody as soon as possible.”

Anyone with information has been asked to get in touch via Live Chat or 101, quoting log 3204 of 29/8/24.

Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “”We were called to a stabbing at a private address on Lovett Avenue just after 4pm on Thursday.

“One ambulance, two paramedic officers, the WMAS Critical Care Car, a MERIT trauma doctor and critical care paramedic and a BASICS emergency doctor attended the scene.

“Upon arrival we found a teenage boy with life threatening injuries.

“Ambulance staff administered advanced trauma care at the scene but unfortunately, despite their best efforts nothing more could be done to save him and he was confirmed deceased at the scene.”
