"I Have Real Beef With Alexia Grace" Astrid Wett Discusses Upcoming Fight And Misfits Plans!

That's Harry from No Spokesport with Astrid Wett

I spoke to Elbrook before her fight, before she got convincingly beaten

but she said you're a master of self-promotion with the Alexa Grace spray painting

deliberately misspelling it wrong. What did you say to those comments? And obviously, what did you think

at Elbrook's last fight? I mean, I appreciate that she's noticed that I'm good at promotion

I feel like with influencer boxing, you kind of have to be

because you're only in this scene because you're an influencer. You know, I'm not a boxer

Alexia, all these people, we're not proper boxers. We're in this because of our social media presence

So for it to be a good fight, you need to promote it

I do generally have beef with Alexia, which I think is why it's gone so well

But yeah, I just think if you're a social media influencer who's doing boxing, you have to promote well

So, yeah, I appreciate that she made that comment. With her fight on Saturday, obviously, everybody wins some

you lose some. So, yeah, I just wish her all the best. Fair enough

That's very respectful. And on the subject of promotion, I know you spoke about the lack

of support you've got with promotion from KSI and Misfits. And you've taken Mads into your own hand and done

which is obviously a very admirable set-up, your own promotion. Thank you. And obviously it has the pulling point over

sort of the Dizona Misfits cards that is streamed live on YouTube for free

So, or I believe it's free, maybe it's a pay-per-view. I'm not sure. No it free yeah So any comments on the nature of the split and obviously the fact that it free to view and anyone can watch it So obviously that will do big numbers I imagine

Yeah. I mean, I haven't really had too many comments from misfits themselves

I think they can understand my frustration because I've been asking for another fight

since my last fight in March. And obviously there's not many girls in the scene

that are the same weight class. And even if there's been girls put to me, but either one, don't know who they are or two, they're known to be a friend of mine

And I just don't think it makes sense to try and force that fight when there's when there's no beef

And like I said beforehand, the reason why we're in the scene is because of our social media presence

And most of the views are going to come from promotion. And I think the best promotion comes from if you have real beef with someone

and I have real beef with Alexia I put this all across to Misfits

and Mams and whoever etc and they just weren't really interested in the fight

so I thought sod it I'm going to do it myself and ultimately I think that

you know Misfits charge because they have to make a profit because they have to pay their fighters

whereas I'm doing this because I believe that the fans want to see this fight

and I do want to fight Alexia to kind of teach her a lesson

so that's why it's free because I'm not looking to make a profit, I just want to put on a good show for the fans

And there's lots of questions I could ask, but I guess in terms of boxing perspective

your last fight with AJ Bunker, who probably has a similar level of experience to Alexa Grace

if I imagine and you had her in retreat mode so do you think this is going to be a convincing victory for yourself Obviously B for Si the actual fight do you think it be a convincing victory for you I want to say yes But I do think that you know Alexia hasn had a fight before

And I haven't seen any kind of training videos. I don't know what she's going to be like

And sometimes I think that's kind of harder because you can't anticipate what they're going to do

You know, she might be really good on the back foot. She might be on the front foot

that she might completely just throw every kind of technique out the window

and just run at me, which is really hard to control. So, yeah, I do think it's going to be a pretty convincing win for me

But I do think it's going to be hard to judge what she's going to be like. I don't think I'm going to know until I'm in the ring with her

And I've got to get your thoughts on the other thing with the Kingpin show, which is the Daniela Hamsley flashing incident

I know Eddie Hearn has sort of spoken out about it and tried to sort of distance himself and match them from influencer boxing

I was just wondering what your take on it is and how you view it. I mean, I think it's a little bit disappointing

I mean, I know that a lot of the girls that are in the boxing scene

for some reason, do do OnlyFans and do that kind of content. But I think it's really important to try and split that

because us female influencer boxers, we're really trying to be taken seriously in the scene

And we want to be respected. We are putting that hard work in

We wanna be seen as the same as anybody else who's in the scene

So yeah, for someone to just go and do that and potentially ruin that whole image

of influence of female boxers, it's a little bit disappointing. But yeah, each to their own

if that's how she wants to celebrate them fair. But yeah I do think it a little bit disappointed I think a lot of people would have preferred if she didn do that but here we are and final question I don feel like I repeating this but in terms of the fact that you promoting yourself and you taking ownership and you not being sort of

exploited in the game do you feel like that enhances your own credibility in the face of

people that maybe dismiss it because you do only fans as you are actually taking on a degree of

entrepreneurship and actually trying to push your own brand through your own right yeah I mean I

think I just want people to to realize that if you want to do something you can do it like

there shouldn't be anybody any company any like anything to hold you back if you want to do it

like you can do it um and yeah I just want to show people that I am serious about boxing I want to

fight and you know I'm not just going to wait around for misfits to say oh you know well you've

got a fight but it's in December and then I'm waiting a whole year you know I'm I'm just going

to do it myself and you know there's other promotions that don't really work for me so I

I just thought, you know what, sod it, I'm going to make my own promotion and put on a really good show

You know, I'm taking it really seriously. I think I'm investing about £10,000 into this promotion

just to make sure it's a really, really good show. So, yeah, if you want it to do anything

if anybody wants to achieve anything, you can do it. Well, I wish you the best of luck

I'll call the interview there, but I will say that I do admire the progress that you've made, obviously, from a boxing point

I'm a boxing fan, first and foremost. The difference of the pad work in the early stages

is that the performances in the ring in the last fight is night and day

So it shows that you have actually been putting the effort against anyone discrediting it

You can see the improvements clearly. Oh, thank you so much. That really means a lot

Thank you. No worries. And good luck with the rest of your preparations

Thank you very much. I look forward to it
