Aisleyne's Ringside Seat

19 February 2011

On Saturday 19th February Aisleyne was a VIP guest for a great night of Championship boxing at Wembley Arena. The event was promoted by Hennessy Sports and was shown live and exclusive on Premier Sport TV on Sky.

Along with a number of celebrities, including her pals Bianca Gascoigne and Mohammed George, Aisleyne had a ringside seat to watch all the top-line action.

Aisleyne wore her grey striped Ed Hardy dress (as per her Millione video and BBLB appearance last June), with matching grey h/h shoes, plus dark short fur coat.

The evening's card included two British title fights, but the main event was billed as the "Battle of the Unbeaten Heavyweight Big Bangers", with Manchester's heavyweight sensation Tyson Fury taking on hitherto undefeated Brazilian Marcelo Luiz Nascimento in a 10 round "International Special attraction fight"

Now of course, where Aisleyne is concerned, a heavyweight boxer named "Tyson" is bound to have a certain, shall we say, "resonance"! The fact that Mr Fury also has strong Irish connections pretty much guaranteed that he would enjoy Aisleyne's enthusiastic support.

In the event Fury comprehensively knocked out Nascimento in the fifth round.

At the post-fight VIP reception Aisleyne met Tyson (as the gallery photo shows). Aisleyne learned that as a baby he was very ill and needed to fight to survive, so his father named him after Iron Mike. Now aged 23 and an imposing 6'7" he is married to 22 year old Paris (whom Aisleyne also met) and has one child - with another on the way!

"I'd love to see an Irish World Heavyweight Champion," said Aisleyne, "especially one named Tyson!"
