NRL WAG Arabella Del Busso beats Lil Kymchii but Aussie Ebanie Bridges says fight isn’t real boxing

Scandal-plagued former NRL WAG Arabella Del Busso has wowed fans with a spectacular entrance to the ring before winning her bout against fellow model turned boxer ‘Lil Kymchii’.

The ex-NRL WAG, 33, who fought on the undercard of the Misfits Boxing and DAZN: X Series 007 event in the United Kingdom on Sunday morning Australian time, was carried towards the ‘squared circle’ on a golden throne, just like Tyson Fury did before his April 2022 fight with Dillian Whyte.

As she neared the ring, the former girlfriend of NRL veteran Josh Reynolds was lowered down and stepped onto the ring apron in an eye-catching ensemble that commentators compared to that of British boxing icon Prince Naseem Hamed.

Del Busso – who fights under the name Little Bellsy – went on to beat her opponent by unanimous decision in a spiteful encounter at the Wembley Arena.

The controversial Aussie made full use of her size advantage to land the better shots throughout the bout after – trading blows and slurs with Lil Kymchii at media events during the week.

Del Busso grabbed her opponent by the throat as the pair traded unprintable insults in their first clash, before Lil Kymchii retailiated by throwing a raw fish at her at Saturday’s pre-bout press conference.

The high-profile event, headlined by British YouTuber KSI and professional boxer Joe Fournier, drew plenty of eyeballs and opinions – and not everybody was a fan of what they saw.

Aussie boxing world champion Ebanie Bridges had mixed views about the part-time pugilist events, which she doesn’t think should be compared to professional boxing. 

‘I suppose the entertaining thing about these influence boxing fights is there is zero defense HAHAHA so it’s all offense and we all like seeing people get hit don’t we,’ she wrote on Twitter.

‘Not sure it’s healthy for the fighters tho usually at this level u wear headgear so it’s kinda bit safer.’

A fan of Bridges replied that influencer boxing makes a mockery of the sport and disrespects those who commit their whole lives to it.

Bridges didn’t agree, but said fans need to think about bouts between celebrity fighters in a different way.

‘I mean they are still going thru the training… still grafting in the gym most of them,’ she replied.

‘It’s not pro boxing.. it’s influencer boxing they ain’t fighting for real belts and titles and s**t lol it’s like WWE.’

Del Busso called out OnlyFans star Astrid Wett after winning her bout

Del Busso was interviewed after her fight and was asked who she’d like to take on next. Her answer was none other than OnlyFans star Astrid Wett.

‘Astrid Wett, girl, I think you’re next. I’m coming for you,’  she said.

Wett, who was still standing at ringside, seemed interested in the bout and indicated that she’d fight the Aussie then and there.

Del Busso has been embroiled in scandal since her relationship with Bulldogs NRL star Josh Reynolds ended amid scandal in 2020.

She faked pregnancies and miscarriages while with Reynolds in order to keep him from dumping her. 

Del Busso made her boxing debut in the Pretender to Contender promotion in Melbourne early last year.
