BOXING fans were left stunned by what they deemed a ‘flirty’ comment after Francis Ngannou shocked a female reporter during a live TV interview.

Ngannou, 37, will take on Anthony Joshua, 34, in Saudi Arabia on Friday night as the two big heavyweights come together in a blockbuster clash.

Media events have been taking place in Riyadh since the start of the week, as big names from the world of sports flock to the Middle East.

This culminated in Ngannou and Joshua being pictured alongside Tyson Fury and Cristiano Ronaldo on Tuesday.

But it was a comment Ngannou made after his public workout earlier in the day that got many people talking on social media.

The former UFC heavyweight champion was asked by reporter Olivia Buzaglo if he would continue to watch Joshua’s training.

To which he replied, “I have something else to do… and that is you.”

Ngannou then appeared to say the word “media” as the microphone was taken from him.

But many online thought he was flirting with the reporter.

And Buzaglo, a Sky Sports presenter who previously worked for Chelsea TV, responded to a comment claiming Ngannou “confused a reporter”, as she replied: “Ahahahahaha ffs .”

One fan said: “I don’t know if he’s being very direct or if it’s lazy flirting .”

While another replied: “The man knows what he wants I guess .”

And a third replied: “Did he just say ‘I have something else to do and it’s you?’ ”

Ngannou, 37, shocked the boxing world by pushing Fury to the limit in his professional boxing debut in October, dropping The Gypsy King before narrowly losing a split decision.

Now Joshua is tasked with taking on the MMA star in more comprehensive fashion as he eyes the winner of Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk on May 18.

AJ has won his last three fights since suffering back-to-back losses to Usyk.

But Ngannou’s trainer, Dewey Cooper, sent a brutal warning to AJ ahead of the highly anticipated fight.

Kuiper said Air sports: “In the Tyson Fury fight we told you he was going to drop him at least once.

“We told you he could win the fight. We are men, we mean our words. This isn’t poetry, this isn’t fantasy, these are real words from a real person talking to you.

“I know Anthony Joshua is you, so you’re supposed to support him, but just understand what he’s dealing with.

“He’s against a man who proved life was wrong from childhood to youth. From working in the sand mines as a child in Africa, to traveling on foot from Cameroon all the way to France.

“Being stuck in the Sahara desert, he has gone through so many adversities that it is like a movie, and this chapter has not been written – it will be written on March 8 in Saudi Arabia.

“And I see Francis Ngannou finishing Anthony Joshua.”

ANTHONY JOSHUA VS FRANCIS NGANNOU: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED FOR A HUGE CROSSOVER CASE

A PICKLEBALL fan has shared the dress that keeps her looking stylish while on the court.

Even those who don’t play pickleball can wear the style that comes with built-in shorts.

Alli (@allithatglitters) shared the messages in a TikTok video.

“I don’t care if you don’t play pickleball or tennis, you need this in your summer wardrobe,” she said.

Although she used the $40 Halara dress as workout gear, she added that she would wear it on a more casual day.

‘Fun leisure activity. It’s soft, it’s cool, but look at the back,” she said, turning to reveal the crossed straps.

“How cute is that? It’s cute just wearing out.”

The 6-foot, 300-pound sports fan revealed she bought the “flirty” dress in a size medium.

For her, the fit was exactly as she had hoped.

“It doesn’t hug your thighs, so it doesn’t show anything you wouldn’t want someone to see,” she said.

‘The best thing is shorts. “If you’re working out, it doesn’t matter if this flies up,” she said, lifting her skirt.

Although she was a casual pickleball fan, she joked that her new dress, which also has a built-in dress, inspired her to play the sport more often.

“I’ve played pickleball maybe 10 times in my life. I’m going to become a regular so I can wear this,” she said.

People shared their thoughts on her fashion recommendation.

Many who owned the same dress agreed it was a great purchase.

“I get compliments every time I wear mine. I love them,” said one commenter.

“Got this dress, I love it!” said another.

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are “still officially broken up” despite putting on a seemingly loved-up show after reuniting on Valentine's Day, insiders claim.

News of the couple's reported split broke Monday, hours after Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa, 49, unfollowed the 33-year-old basketball player on Instagram.

The pair reportedly called it quits after clashing over his desire to have children and their inability to align their vision of the future – but it appears the pair are now trying to find out if their 18-month romance is 'the worth fighting for'. .'

The pair were pictured smiling and laughing as they browsed a flower shop in Miami on Valentine's Day, while Larsa was pictured holding a single white rose.

“They're not officially back together, but there was always a chance they could and will reunite,” an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com of their outing.

“Since it was Valentine's Day, they got wrapped up in their feelings and decided to hang out. They're not going to break up cold turkey and never talk or see each other again. They have to see if it's worth fighting for.”

The insider added, “They are both in the what-are-we-going-to-do-next phase.” They're trying to sort it out, but they're still officially separated while they try to smooth out the bumps in the road.”

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for both Larsa and Marcus.

Despite the breakup, the couple certainly seemed close during their Feb. 14 outing, when the sports star lovingly placed his hand on the back of Larsa's head.

The reality TV regular showed off her physique in tight red leggings and a matching sports bra as she held the white rose.

The duo, who first came into contact in 2022 while strolling on Miami Beach, were also spotted waiting in line to check out, with an eyewitness claiming the two vases and a large bouquet of at least a dozen roses.

They then enjoyed a night out, with Larsa pictured with a giant diamond sparkler on her wedding finger.

The apparently romantic display comes next People reported on Monday that the two had gone their separate ways after an eighteen-month romance.

At the time the breakup was reported, Larsa and Marcus had both unfollowed each other on Instagram. However, from Wednesday the two followed each other again.

Larsa also hinted at trouble when she shared a survey on Instagram that read: “Should your friends unfollow your ex?”

Following the social media turmoil, sources told DailyMail.com that the couple struggled to see eye to eye in the relationship.

“Their age difference was a major factor in the split, plus Marcus was playing kids while she wanted to be more of a celebrity,” they said.

'They both had different ideas about what their family would look like and that caused a lot of stress.

“They're just on different paths, but it's their fault they're not together, even if they blame each other for their downfall.”

As for whether there's a chance Larsa and Marcus could reconcile, the source added: “Absolutely – but right now things are very busy and they don't see eye to eye on much.

“They need to get back to where they originally started with each other and then it could work, this could be a good test of being away.”

Larsa was previously married to Scottie Pippen, with whom she has four children, from 1997. They finalized their divorce in 2021. Scottie, 58, was a former teammate of Marcus' father Michael Jordan, 60.

The strange combination seemed to confuse the elder Jordan, who expressed his disapproval of the relationship last year.

A CURVY fashionista is unsure what to wear for Valentine's Day after trying on two flattering outfits.

She asked people to give their honest opinions about the stylish clothes they bought from online retailer Fashion Nova.

Daniela starred in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 and The Suicide Squad and a source said: “She's flattered. He is an eligible bachelor and can turn his attention to anyone.”

Love Islander Arabella, 32, was left blindsided when Dias dumped her after a New Year's holiday.

She told us: “Last year was probably my unluckiest when it came to finding The One.

“I dated people I thought were The One, which was a mistake I've since learned from.”

She added: “What I learned from dating last year is that you think you know someone, but you don't know them at all.

“I dated people who, in retrospect, might not have been the best fit for me.”

Model Arabella has now started a new hunt for a man after returning to Love Island All Stars.

Love Island All Stars contestant Georgia Harrison has revealed the one deal-breaker she has when it comes to finding romance with a man.

The reality star, 29, originally took part in series three of Love Island in 2017 but is looking for love once again in the All Stars version of the show.

In Monday’s launch episode of the programme, she will be seen having a flirty chat with Chris Taylor, 33, and revealing the one important thing she looks for in a man – fame.

While Georgia insists she does not need a partner who is well known, she admits she wants someone who will be comfortable attending glitzy events with her such as star-studded premieres.

And, with Chris having already appeared on Love Island series five in 2019 and popping up in last year’s hit Barbie movie, he certainly has Georgia’s required credentials with his experience in the spotlight. 

According to The Sun, Georgia tells Chris: ‘I don’t need to be with someone who is necessarily famous but they have to be willing to be connected to me because I’d love to have someone I can go on the red carpets with.’

He replies: ‘Would you not prefer to have a boyfriend who is not in that at all?’

Georgia continues: ‘Well, no because I’ve done that and it wasn’t good.’

Chris adds: ‘They terrify me (red carpets). I get weird.’

Georgia jokingly claps back: ‘Oh, shut up. You love it. We saw you at the Barbie premiere.’

On Monday, for the first time singletons from previous seasons will return to the villa as they continue their quest to find their dream partner. 

Host Maya Jama is returning to present the show in South Africa, while the social media ban is also being lifted.

Last year, ITV bosses banned the stars’ loved ones from handling their accounts to ‘to shield them from the adverse effects of social media’.

However, Maya revealed on This Morning earlier this month, that the rule has been changed this season, meaning the contestants’ friends and families can post on their behalf. 

Another change coming this winter is that there will be no Aftersun spin-off show, with a new interview segment instead.

Maya will now speak to the contestants immediately after they are dumped in a brand new set next to the villa, in order to capture their ‘raw emotion’ in the moment. 

Speaking about the change, Maya said: ‘With this new exit interview format, I feel like you’ll get the raw emotion. I’m really excited about that actually.

‘I’ll be there as soon as they get out there will be no time for them to think about it we just go straight into the questions. I’m not a tough presenter. But I’ll ask the questions that people want to know.’

In a bid to make the show even more exciting and unique, producers have teased even more twists and shock moments. 

The biggest surprise shake-up is that Casa Amor has been axed for the first time in seven years.

The second villa has been a highlight of the recent series of the show, seeing the boys and girls separated into two villas with a new group of bombshells to tempt them away from each other.

The All Stars series has been reduced to five weeks long, instead of the usual eight, meaning the Casa Amor twist has been dropped as there’s not enough time.

Executive producer Mike Spencer told The Mirror: ‘Casa Amor, as we know and love it, doesn’t really work for a five week run because you need time to bed in, get to know each other, see if they are for you and if you want to switch it up.

‘I think you don’t need the element of bringing a massive influx of new islanders in. That is good for an eight week run but you don’t need it for this. This is going to be more intense and people will fall for each other quicker.’

He also revealed that this series will have lots of other twists instead, to ensure the Love Island veterans don’t know what’s coming.

He said: ‘We have got to be reactive. These islanders have done it all before so we have to be one step ahead of them. This give us the chance to shake it up and bring new islanders into the mix in new ways.’

Mike then teased: ‘We have four hidden single beds in the lounge, so make of that what you will.’

There will also be changes made to the biggest episodes – the launch night and the grand final – with no reunion show either.

Mike said: ‘It’s fair to say episode one has some really fresh format. It’s different. We know the background of what each person has been going in since their series so we thought about that when we were putting this together. 

‘We’re not going to do the challenge stage either that will be rested this season – but the ‘in villa’ tasks will continue.

‘This is a great time to test things and test the format. The show has been on for ten series we’ve tried to evolve it, especially the last couple of series. 

‘Shock twists worked for the audience last series and we’re looking what else we can do. The final we are also going to tweak. We won’t have a reunion show. So the final will answer the questions from fans and retell the stories of the series.’

The show legends returning this year so far are confirmed to be Liberty Poole, Georgia Harrison, Chris Taylor, Hannah Elizabeth, Kaz Kamwi, Georgia Steel, Anton Danyluk, Demi Jones, Luis Morrison, Toby Aromolaran, Mitchel Taylor and Jake Cornish.

The first series of Love Island All Stars kicks off on Monday evening at 9pm on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX.
