I made fortune on OnlyFans before taking up boxing – now I want to emulate Jake Paul by beating real fighters

Social media star Elle Brooke has opened up on her boxing ambitions ahead of her fifth fight inside the squared circle.

Unlike many influencers, Brooke doesn’t financially need to fight due to her success as an adult film star, and the fact she’s made a fortune selling content on OnlyFans.

However, she is now set to take on former Love Island star AJ Bunker in a rematch where she is looking to improve her record to 4-1.

The 26-year-old, who trains with former world champion Ebanie Bridges, originally took up boxing for her mental health, but has since fallen in love with the sport since winning on her debut against Bunker in July 2022.

“I ask myself that question every single day because I don’t have to box,” Brooke told marvelbet369.com when asked what motivates her to fight.

“There are influencers in this space, this is the only thing they rely on.

“I think I would genuinely be richer and bigger if I didn’t box.

“This is for my mental health. It keeps me regularly in the gym and on a good routine. It keeps me away from bad things, like partying, drugs, and alcohol."

Besides the mental health benefits, Brooke has found boxing is a great way to stay grounded after amassing millions of followers across various social media platforms.

She added: “Also, boxing is so great for humbling. I get humbled every single day.

"It doesn’t matter who you are, I could be ten times richer or ten times more famous than someone else.

"But we get into the ring and it’s just me and you and they can beat the crap out of you.

“It’s extremely humbling, and I love that.

“I love how hard I have to dig deep within myself every single day to continue with it.

"There are so many times I’ve thought I wanna quit. ‘Why am I even doing this? I don’t need to do this. This is just a hobby and it’s making my life fucking hell.’

“But I continue to do it and that’s something I’m proud of.”

Despite clearly benefiting from her boxing journey, Brooke is not content with just making money fighting celebrities, she wants to become a legitimate boxer like Jake Paul.

The YouTuber has beaten a boxer and several MMA fighters during his 8-1 professional career and has blazed a trail that Brooke wants to follow by taking on Ronda Rousey or Paige VanZant.
