#1. Astrid Wett spraypaints OnlyF*ns rival Alexia Grace's car
Astrid Wett is not over the beef with Alexia Grace.
The two have been feuding for a while. It peaked at the KSI vs. Joe Fournier Misfits Boxing event earlier this month after Grace threw water at Wett and an altercation ensued. The two had to be separated by security. Wett later accused Grace of stealing her belt.
Watch (0.35):
In what seems to be revenge, Wett recently vandalized Grace's car by spray painting her car. Hilariously, Wett misspelled the word 'Thief' while spray painting the word on the car's windshield.
Watch the clip below:
We’ve got some OnlyFans boxing beef over in the UK.
Alexia Grace stole Astrid Wett’s belt 2 weeks ago. Today, she returned the favor by spray painting Alexia’s car.
Only issue is she spelt thief completely wrong.
This is boxing in 2023 👍👍
