Astrid Wett held back by security after trying to fight Alexia Grace at press conference

Astrid Wett had to be held back by security after she charged at Alexia Grace at the Misfits press conference on Thursday.

Astrid and Alexia will go head-to-head on the undercard of KSI vs Tommy Fury in Manchester on Saturday and tensions boiled over as the two verbally exchanged blows. Check it out below.

Wett is currently unbeaten after beating both Keeley Colbran and AJ Bunker in her previous bouts, whilst Grace is set to make her boxing debut.

Both women have continued to go back and forth online recently, with Wett having been put through a table when they last faced off months ago.

Grace took to X after the event to provide her reaction to Wett's outburst on stage.

She wrote: ''Sit down little girl & wait for Saturday. Astrid always has to let everyone know about her family leaving her every single time. No one cares we all have history.

Adding further fuel to the fire, the 25-year-old added: ''I don’t have any respect for Astrid as a boxer nor a person, to mention the result of Sandy Ryan’s fight as a insult towards me, if you believe that result was fair then it proves you have no idea about boxing.

"You’re an influencer boxer not a pro. Have some respect.''

Astrid is the heavy favourite heading into the fight and given her past performances, it all points to yet another fiery encounter.

Grace rose to fame on TikTok back in 2022 and has since amassed a whopping 1.1 million followers on the platform.

Her opponent Wett is a Chelsea supporter and is often seen on Twitter ridiculing other teams as well as her beloved Blues.
