ELLE BROOKE made peace with AJ Bunker just moments after brutally knocking her out.

The pair have rivalled ever since Brook walked away with a disputed points decision on their boxing debuts in the summer of 2022.

So they put bragging rights on the line as well as Bunker’s middleweight belt at Misfits 12.

And it ended in beautiful violence in round three after a right hand closed the show in savage style.

After all the back and forth between the two, they shared a hug after it was all said and done.

And Brooke insisted the difference was dropping from 14oz to 10oz and aimed a dig at old rival Astrid Wett, who walked out on Misfits.

She said: “Listen, these 10oz gloves are very dangerous. “I had the 14oz in her first fight and now I’ve come down weight I’m a lot stronger.

“Why is there nobody in the ring offering me out? Mams [Taylor] where is the next person?

“Am I now the queen of Misfits now that Astrid [Wett] has left?”

The grudge match was largely dull and uneventful for the opening three rounds, with Brooke even docked a point for holding.

But in the third, she set up a stunning right hand that sat Bunker down.

The brave ex-Love Islander made it to her feet but the referee rightfully waved off the contest.

Brooke admitted she would have hung up her gloves had she lost – but instead committed her future to Misfits Boxing.

She said: “I just perform best on Misfits, I think this was just big fat karma for ever leaving. I was definitely going to quit if I lost this, so it’s a sign.”
