The reality star, 34, has signed himself up to undergo intensive training at gyms in Los Angeles and Dubai.
He is reportedly getting in shape to tackle some of the biggest names in boxing, including KSI, Jake Paul and YouTuber Deji Olatunji.
The five-bedroom spacious mansion is in a gated property with its own swimming pool, hot tub, and bar area and has been praised by estate agent Durden & Hunt for its desirable location.

Joey, while known for reality TV, is connected to the world of boxing through his uncle, who is British trainer Tony Sims.
He is being supported with his boxing dreams by Misfits Boxing, whose co-founder, Mams Taylor, said he has got the commitment needed to succeed in the ring.
Mams said said: 'Joey's got family background in boxing so I think he's excited to get in the ring and we're excited to have him.
'Joey's going to be very committed, we've spoken daily for the last few days and he's really on it.'
MissFits was launched in 2022 by YouTuber KSI and boxing promoter Mams.
Mams perviously SunSport that Joey needs to take his training seriously but said he is 'not someone who's gonna do this half-a****'.
He added: 'I'm very confident we'll see Joey Essex in a Misfits ring, very soon.
'Sooner rather than later.'
Joey's decision to take a break from the UK comes after his Baby Reindeer-style stalker was deemed 'unfit to stand trial'.
The obsessed online fan allegedly bombarded the reality star, 34, with 100,000 messages, including some which contained apparent death threats towards his then girlfriend Jessy Potts, whom he met during 2024's Love Island.
But according to The Sun, police have now agreed criminal prosecution would not be the most appropriate course of action, with Joey instead being protected through safeguarding interventions.
MailOnline have contacted Joey's representatives for comment regarding the news.
The former TOWIE star, who split from Jessy in September just seven weeks after leaving the ITV villa, contacted Cheshire Police in August of last year after becoming concerned about the violent nature of some of the sinister messages.
He told The Sun at the time: 'I love my fans and want to be able to talk to them online but there has to be a line somewhere and sadly this is it.'

I turned my drab kitchen into a home using £12 bargain from Temu – people can't believe how good it looks
A SAVINGS-savvy homeowner shared impressive before-and-after snaps of her kitchen after nabbing a Temu bargain. Tracy Davies rid herself of her unsightly tiles with a handy £12 fix. 3 3 Using peel-and-stick tiles from the bargain website, she completely transformed the space. "From painted tiles which I absolutely hated to stick on times from Temu," she wrote on the DIY On a Budget Official Facebook page. "A massive improvement," she added. Tracy's bog-standard white square tiles have been covered with large, marble-style tile stickers, which give the kitchen a modern feel. Fellow home hackers were shocked by the difference the simple solution made. "Would love to do this, looks lovely," one wrote. "These look great, I'm going to look into getting these," another said. "I also used the stick on tiles to cover up ugly tiles in my kitchen," a third wrote. The good news is that the stickers are easy to apply, and no grout is needed. I wanted a panelled room but wasn't going to spend loads so risked it & bought £36 strips from Temu - I saved a fortune If you want to give your kitchen or bathroom some TLC, Temu offers a huge variety of stick on tiles in different colours and styles. Amazon Dunelm and B&Q also sell packs of tile stickers. The tiles on Amazon range from £8 to £20, while at Dunelm prices start from £18. It's not just stick-on tiles that have home fixers jumping for joy - there are even self-adhesive wood panels to add a little extra style to any room. Betty, a content creator from the UK who is currently renovating her home, used dado rails to panel her hallway - and it left many open-mouthed. But while many were stunned and thought the DIY project was incredibly 'impressive', others thought it made Betty's home look 'dated'. Alongside her short social media clip, the brunette, who often shares beginner-friendly DIY tips and tricks online, beamed: 'This is your sign to panel your hallway.' She then added: 'If you're going to make one update to your hallway for maximum impact then let it be this! 'This has to be the panelling project that I'm most proud of (mainly because I finally tackled those angles).' Betty claimed that 'preparation is key' when it comes to panelling, as she pre-marked each location to ensure it looked neat once complete. She later revealed that she got the dado rails as part of a traditional stair panelling kit from Roomix. As well as adding panelling to her hallway, which Betty coated in Dulux Egyptian Cotton paint, she also painted the top of her walls in the shade White Mist from Dulux.

How Bazball's baby showed merit in England's thinking
England's Tuesday began stuck in was Jamie Smith who ensured there were no dangers of them grinding to a halt team that arrived at The Oval on e-bikes after traffic problems in London were powered to their victory by a freewheeling Smith, who followed a duck in Cardiff with an electric 64 from 28 balls to clinch a series clean sweep."I wanted to push out my chest a bit and say that I'm good enough to open the batting," Smith, 24, said after the seven-wicket the face of it, England's decision to employ Smith as an opener in this series is one straight from the playbook of out-of-the-box decisions made in the Brendon McCullum era of English Shoaib Bashir being called up for the Test side on the back of six first-class appearances was rogue, asking Smith to open the batting for a floundering 50-over side at the start of a new era - a position he has never batted in professional cricket - was not far behind. But in reality, despite regular 50-over openers Will Jacks or Tom Banton looking the frontrunners in the squad beforehand, Smith was always the obvious candidate - he is, after all, Bazball's favourite Foakes did little wrong in India in 2024 but by England's next Test, Smith had replaced 70 on debut and 95 in his third Test, the talk around Smith was glowing. When he made his maiden Test century a match later against Sri Lanka there were already suggestions he should take a job proving as troublesome to fill as the manager's role at Old Trafford - England's Test number Bethell's emergence has put that one on the backburner but when McCullum took over as England's white-ball coach last September it was no coincidence Smith was recalled to the set-up for the next Harry Brook revealed last week McCullum was talking about the possibility of Smith opening at the Champions Trophy in Pakistan - before incumbent Phil Salt had been shown the door."Me and Baz think Smudge could be an unbelievable white-ball opener," Brook said before the is no criticism but Brook has begun to sound like a jammed cassette when outlining his ideal batter since taking the Leeds to London, "we want batters that can put their best balls under pressure" he has said again and again - and could have hardly have done that better than he did in the third Surrey academy product received nine balls on a 'good length' under the lights at his cricketing home and scored 20 runs at a strike-rate north of 200. Across the match, his batting contemporaries managed 56 runs off 71 balls against such fascination with Smith comes with all of the caveats of his international career being only 24 matches old but with the knowledge that at his best he can seemingly do it this very ground against Sri Lanka last year he scored 15 from his first 31 deliveries in a Test before crashing 52 off his next 18. He has a technically solid defence and drives through the covers with ease. But he can also pick the ball off a length and deposit it over mid-wicket as he did on Tuesday."He's not a slogger, is he? He's playing proper shots," was how Brook put it also know the importance of an opening partnership if their rebirth after the troubles of Jos Buttler's final 18 months as captain is to be Morgan's World Cup-winning team had Buttler's fireworks, a match-winner in Ben Stokes and Joe Root's calmness but none of that would have been possible without Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow setting platforms that would have been too big for the Tests, England's best performances under McCullum captaincy - in Rawalpindi, at The Oval, or at Edgbaston - have all been built on significant opening Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley against the red ball, Duckett and Smith attack the white like they are playing different get technical, Duckett's average interception point against seamers is around 1.77m, 33cm behind Smith' right-hander Smith targets boundaries in front of him, left-hander Duckett has scored only 18% his career runs against pacers in the 'V'.And in McCullum, Smith has a coach who opened 107 times in ODIs and did so in a New Zealand side that reached a World Cup final - an ideal sounding board should one be one may expect with England's relaxed approach, however, Smith has largely been left to create his own plans during his first week in the job."He knows how to bat," Brook said."Like I said so many times, he's done it in Test cricket for periods. "He's gonna have a good go at it at the top in one-day cricket and I think everybody's excited to see how he goes."Brook knows there will be bumps to come but Smith will be given every chance to lead England on their ride.

Dean Harrison claims ‘one of most popular victories in Isle of Man TT history'
Dean Harrison ended his six-year wait for a fourth win at the Isle of Man TT, securing 'one of the most popular victories' in Tuesday's rain-delayed Supersport TT. Harrison had endured a run of 14 podium finishes without victory since his last win in the 2019 Senior TT, having had to play second fiddle to both Davey Todd and Michael Dunlop this week as well as Peter Hickman in recent years. But the 36-year-old crossed the finish line to a huge ovation to clinch a victory, by 11.656 seconds, over Todd and come within touching distance of Hickman's all-time lap record of 16min 36.115sec. Hickman achieved an average speed of 136.358 mph, which Harrison threatened with a second lap average speed of 135.692mph. 'Honestly I got the hammer down from the start and read my pit boards and got P1 at the first and P2 and just dig deep. The bike was really good, I changed a few things and the bike worked so well,' he said. 'I've had a third and a second, so I've got three, two, one now and a TT win is just magic. I can't thank the team enough, they've worked hard all week and we've been up and down and all sorts, it's unbelievable. To battle for the win is just fantastic.' We all felt that one... 🥺 And the first Honda win in a decade... ❤💙 — Isle of Man TT Races (@ttracesofficial) June 3, 2025 Harrison secured Honda Racing's first victory at the TT in more than a decade, with the Japanese works team having not tasted success since John McGuinness's famous 2015 Senior victory. 'Them lot being happy makes me happy, I can't thank them all enough,' Harrison added. 'It's been a long time coming and I'm four times a TT winner, which is a big thing for me. I'm over the moon.' The win was hailed by many on the island, with both Todd and Dunlop paying tribute to Harrison's success and 14-time sidecar TT winner Tom Birchall declaring the win 'one of the most popular victories in the history of the TT'. With the race initially scheduled for 10:45am on Tuesday, overnight rain and further showers meant all racing was delayed until the evening's contingency session, with the Superstock TT reduced from three laps to two, meaning riders would not be required to pit. That favoured the famously fast-starting Harrison, but it was Todd straight out of the gate. The 8Ten Racing BMW rider could only get his lead out to a couple of seconds though, and by the end of the first lap, the gap was only 0.4 seconds and Harrison had taken the lead by the time they reached Glen Helen on lap two. The win adds to Harrison's previous successes in the 2014 Lightweight TT, and the Supersport and Senior races in 2018 and 2019 respectively. Dunlop came home behind Todd in a distant third, and admitted his MD Racing BMW was blighted by an issue from the moment he left the start line. 'We ended up with an electronics issue, went off the line and it seemed to stick in launch control for some reason, and then the blipper stopped working and was intermittent, which caused us a bit of pain,' Dunlop said. 'But in fairness to Dean, fair play to him. I knew Dean would be great the first lap. My first lap was horrific, not knowing when the bike was blipping and when it wasn't blipping. Two-lap races, I struggle a wee bit with them.' Despite the tricky conditions, Harrison was not the only rider to set his fastest-ever lap around the island, with Ian Hutchinson, Dominic Herbertson, James Hind and Mikey Evans all setting personal bests. Later in the evening, Dunlop claimed his 31st victory by continuing his grip on the Supertwin TT class, taking a comfortable win by 22.673 seconds over local rider Evans, who clinched the first podium of his career – on his birthday – alongside fellow first-time rostrum finisher Rob Hodson.
