I’m an OnlyFans star who only watched boxing for Anthony Joshua because he’s hot – now I’m a fighter just like him

ELLE BROOKE has taken the influencer boxing world by storm - but she only laced up her gloves because she fancied Anthony Joshua.

The OnlyFans star traded her camera tripod for boxing gloves last year - taking up the sweet science with respected coach Mark Tibbs.

Brooke has gone 3-0 in the influencer boxing scene, with her most recent victory being a decision win over Aleksandra Daniel last month.

But the blonde beauty wouldn't have ever set foot inside the ring - or watched boxing - had she never laid eyes on two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua.

The 25-year-old told : "Kingpyn Boxing DM’d me and I was a bit hesitant at first because I honestly had no idea about boxing.

"But then I was like, 'Yeah OK cool why not give it a go.'

"I was definitely a casual boxing fan previously.

"If Anthony Joshua was fighting I’d watch him because he’s hot and I’d watch the other very hyped fights like Tyson Fury or whatever.

"But I couldn’t tell you a middleweight other than Canelo for example.”

Brooke's ventures to the ring have not only boosted her confidence, they have also boosted her bank balance by landing her additional subscribers to her OnlyFans account.

The X-rated actress said: "They do go hand in hand [boxing & OnlyFans}.

"And I’ve already grown my OnlyFans.

"Whereas other content creators who have started boxing are having to take a major hit in terms of the amount of content they can put out because boxing is so hard and time-consuming.

"You have to work at it for hours and it’s so tiring. For me at the moment the two go well together.”

Although she was initially hesitant about becoming a pornstar pugilist, Brooke is now fully invested in the sport.

She said: "Boxing has taken over my life now. I’m in the gym six days a week. It was definitely sink or swim.

"And the first day I met Mark Tibbs he made me do a fitness test to decide whether he would train me or not, so he definitely threw me in the deep end!

"I was sparring within two or three weeks and the girl I was fighting was absolutely huge.”

Brooke is already back in the gym preparing for the semi-finals of the Kingpyn's women's tournament.

The Manchester City fan will take on fellow social media star Jully Poca in Dublin on July 1.
