WHILST Nigel Farage is steeled ready to clash with Fred Sirieix and Grace Dent, he is unaware a third far more menacing opponent is about to enter the ring.

Just months ago the championship fighter, 40, branded Farage an “absolute maniac” for his opinion on immigration.
It comes after The Sun yesterday revealed food critic Grace had made sick jokes about the Brexiteer’s 2010 plane crash, whilst TV personality Fred has previously labelled him a “coward”.
Tony hit out at the politician in response to a video message Nigel shared online in November 2022, where he discussed figures from the Office of National Statistics that suggested London, Birmingham and Manchester were now all classed as minority white cities.
Nigel says: “There is a massive change in the identity of our country through immigration.”

But in a feisty message, Tony hit back: “Why does someone’s colour matter?
“Who cares if your white, black, yellow or pink?
“All that matters is are they good or no good people!
“Learn to see people for who they are and not what they look like!

“It’s cos of people like you that racism still exists!
“Absolute maniac you are!”
Tony is due to enter camp later this week alongside Frankie Dettori as one of the show’s rumoured latecomers.
A source close to Farage said: “Nigel is a boxing fan and has many friends in the industry including heavyweight Derek Chisora.
“He’s an admirer of anyone who steps into the ring - so they should have a lot to talk about.”
The Sun on Sunday shared how Masterchef critic Grace wrote: “I hope none of the people who saved Nigel Farage’s life today were pesky immigrants.”
Farage said he feared ‘burning to death’ after the two-seater aircraft he was travelling in crashed into a field in Brackley, Northamptonshire, at around 80 mph on May 6, 2010 - the morning of the general election.
