AJ Bunker wants rematch with OnlyFans star Elle Brooke after "rigged" claim

AJ Bunker wants to fight OnlyFans star Elle Brooke in a rematch after claiming the judges' scorecards were "rigged".

Bunker made her debut against Brooke earlier in the year when she replaced OnlyFans star Astrid Wett at short notice. The Love Island star came out empty-handed despite putting in a brave effort, with Brooke having her hand raised by unanimous decision.

The 28-year-old was significantly underprepared for the clash with her rival having trained with renowned boxing cornerman Mark Tibbs and female world champion Ebanie Bridges. And Bunker feels that she will be the one getting the decision by the judges if she is given adequate time to prepare.

"Before I was a bit unsure because I was a bit upset but this time around I would definitely be up for a rematch," Bunker told Mirror Fighting ahead of her return against Carla Howe in Sheffield next weekend. I will absolutely be up for a rematch once I have had the fight camp she has. I want that to happen because people forget I come in on two weeks notice.

"She had a renowned boxing coach in Mark Tibbs and Ebanie Bridges, she had a full fight camp and she still couldn't beat me. Mark Tibbs has worked with Billy Joe Saunders and Dillian Whyte. I had none of that and if I have a full fight camp I want that rematch one hundred percent and I am going to make sure that happens."

Bunker and Brooke had been embroiled in a heated rivalry going into the fight with the pair coming to blows at the pre-fight weigh-in. Even after the final bell, despite initially embracing in a sign of respect, the pair traded verbal barbs as the rivalry looked set to go on.

The reality TV star had claimed days later that she felt the judges scorecards were "rigged" having gone back and watched the performance through herself. And she revealed that her claim was based on the fact she received the scorecard of another judge, who believed the fight should have at least been scored a split-decision.

"Yeah I watched my performance back I don't think I was great but I am just curious," Bunker continued. "The reason I just feel like it was rigged is because I had a judge come in and tell me they scored it differently. It should have at least been a split decision not unanimous decision. So when you have a judge come in and tell you that it just makes me think it is rigged. If it was scored more on landing punches then it would have been me who won as I landed more.

"But of course if it was on technique she would have deservedly won. I definitely landed more shots but what did they score on? Was it based on punches landed or technique? What was it scored on and how was it scored? I don't know it just doesn't add up after the judge came into my room and told me they didn't score every round to Elle."
