Former Love Island star AJ Bunker has branded Elle Brooke “complete trash” ahead of their Misfits fight in Leeds on Saturday night (January 20).
The reality star, 31, and Elle are meeting in the ring for a second time this weekend. They fought for the first time back in July 2022, with adult star Elle, 26, receiving the unanimous decision victory.
AJ spoke exclusively to Daily star ahead of their clash, admitting she feels far more confident after being given more time to prepare. “I’m feeling so ready and confident,” she said. “It’s completely different this time around.”

She added: “The last time me and Elle fought I had two weeks notice, so I wasn’t prepared at all. It’s going to be a different story this time around.”

Tensions are already high between the pair and this boiled over in front of cameras at the pre-fight open workout out earlier in the week. AJ was speaking to the media with a microphone in her hand at ringside before Elle attempted to smash it into her opponent’s face.
Asked about the altercation, AJ told us: “She’s obviously just rattled. She claims she’s composed and confident. How composed and confident are you if you’re assaulting someone and can’t hold it together before fight night?”

She continued: “Save it for the ring. It just shows how unprofessional and trashy she is.” Tempers haven’t always been flared between the pair, as AJ revealed she has always been nothing but respectful towards her opponent.
“I’ve always been respectful to her,” the influencer explained. “After our last fight I shook her hand, I hugged her. I was commending her in my interviews afterwards, and she was so disrespectful. Before the Astrid [Wett] fight, she came up to me and she apologised.”

Afterwards, AJ revealed she went to one of Elle’s Kingpyn fights and was even supporting her. But things changed during the lead up to their fight. Then after that she started being disrespectful,” AJ said. “I’ve forgiven her once it’s done but it’s done now, she’s disrespected me too many times.”
She went on: “I have no respect for her at all. I think she’s complete trash. There’s definitely going to be no love lost in the boxing ring on Saturday night.”
