Joey Essex:"I cannot wait. I honestly cannot wait. I cannot even tell you how excited I am to get in that ring on August 30. I am going to be in my element. It has been a long time coming and there has been negotiations that we could not meet and timings. I am a busy man, I have got TV shows coming at me left, right and centre. I also need to juggle that with this. This is something I am very passionate about and want to do. That is why we are doing it now. I have got TV shows I can do. But, to be honesty this is paying me a lot more and this is something I am very passionate about and I am very excited about it."
NUMEIRO:"I saw a couple of videos of him boxing and sparring and I do not know if he was trying to look bad on purpose to like not scare me away. That was genuinely a question in my head because I do not know the guy. I do not know if he fought as a kid. I saw a couple of videos and they looked really bad. Hopefully, he was not playing me. If that was the real him, I am confident I will beat him up."

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ex Love Islander appeared to brutally snub one of the show's finalists during the show's live episode. During the final, all of the former Islanders made one last comeback to the villa to watch the champion be crowned. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Island fans noticed that one ex Islander appeared to snub Yasmin Credit: Eroteme 4 Helena could be seen chatting away as she failed to listen to Yasmin's interview In a surprising result, fan-favourites Yasmin and Jamie found themselves finishing in third place being beaten by Shakira and Harry in second place and eventual winners, Toni and Cach. However, one former Islander appeared to totally dismiss Yasmin and Jamie as they could be seen chatting away throughout the couple's interview with host Maya Jama. Helena appeared distracted as she 'ignored' what Yasmin had to say and instead caught up with fourth place star Angel in full view of the cameras. Each time the shot focused on Maya, Helena could be seen speaking to her co-star as she failed to listen in to what Yasmin had to say. Noticing their antics online, one fan questioned: "What is Helena and Angel talking about." Before someone else echoed: "All I could see behind Maya was angel and Helena chatting away the whole time during yaz and Jamie's interview." It added further fuel to the fire about the long-standing girls divide this year. Helena had failed to see eye-to-eye with Yasmin, Shakira or Toni during her time in the villa as two rival girl groups quickly emerged. Along with Meg and Megan, Helena had clashes with the other three villa girls throughout but it seemed they had the last laugh when they made up the top three spots. After weeks of coupling up, dumpings, texts and triangles, the series came to a close with a battle between Toni & Cach, Shakira Khan & Harry Cooksley, Angel Swift & Ty Isherwood and Yasmin Pettet & Jamie Rhodes. Watch Love Island's Harrison roll his eyes and fake clap after ex Toni makes savage dig about him in live final However, it was the show's first American bombshell Toni and dancer Cach who got the most votes from fans after their rollercoaster journey on the show. Thrilled fans praised the result, with one saying: "I actually feel like I've won the World Cup. This is actually everything to me! "Seeing Megan and Dejon dumped, Angel fourth place, Yas, Shakira and Toni top 3, Toni and Cach win. Suddenly life is feeling real again." Someone else added: "Toni got the last laugh. A win and a nice man to take home. Bet Harrison is gutted. Karma is a b***h." Another added: "Toni being American and winning, iconic!!! And thank you Cach for being so amazing and loving. Well deserved." 4 Every time the camera cut to Maya she could be seen in deep conversation

The star revealed that she has taken inspiration from the 90s for her wardrobe on this season's Love Island after taking on the presenting role from Laura Whitmore in 2023. She told The Sunday Times: 'It's a sexy show so we've always fed into that, but this year we've delved into some vintage designer archives, in particular preloved looks from the 1990s - a few Chanel pieces, some 1994 Versace - to elevate it a bit but keep it fun.' While Maya was keen to show off her red dress on Instagram too, its designer is not currently known. Fans were quick to take to social media to praise the presenter's eye-popping look, writing, 'maya jama is just ridiculously good looking like it's actually madness [sic].'; 'Maya looks amazing in that red dress. '; 'Maya Jama is THE most beautiful woman I've ever seen ngl.'; 'Maya Jama 500 out of 10 wow.' While Maya has overseen the trials and tribulations of the islanders this summer as they try to find love, she has been enjoying a happy time in her own romantic life with her footballer boyfriend Ruben Dias, 28. The couple have been dating for several months and have enjoyed numerous romantic holidays together. It is now thought the pair are taking the next step in their relationship as things are getting serious between the couple. Maya believed to be eyeing up splitting her time between London and Manchester to spend more time with Ruben.

A source told The Sun: 'Ruben made sure from the start that his intentions with Maya were clear, he knows he's struck gold and wants to make sure Maya knows how seriously he feels about her. 'Being honest and open about what he wants from their future was the secret weapon in securing a future with Maya. 'Maya's work, home and friends are in London so she doesn't want to leave there entirely, but is considering going between there and Manchester.' Until now, Maya has been busy splitting her time between Mallorca and London as she hosts live from the Love Island villa and presents spin-off chat show Aftersun.
