Furious Aussie boxing legend Jeff Fenech storms out of his house in his underwear and tells his wife to call the cops
A group of local pranksters almost got more than they bargained for after targeting Australian boxing icon Jeff Fenech by staging a fake auction outside his Sydney home.
The practical jokers, led by The Block winner Ozman 'Oz' Abu Malik and former boxer Billy Dib, arrived at Fenech's home with an auctioneer and a group of actors posing as buyers in tow.
The crew set up realty signs on the lawn before the auction got underway.
Malik and Dib watched with glee from a car as 61-year-old Fenech stormed out of his home in his undies to confront the hired auctioneer on his own front lawn.
'Why did you come to my house for?' demanded Fenech as he started dismantling the signage.
'F**k it off.
The boxing legend threw auction signs as he demanded to know what was going on
'Don't make me do something bad... How is my my house for sale?'
The auctioneer replied: 'Sir, I have been given instructions.'
Fenech then ripped a document from the auctioneer's hand in anger. 'Well you've been given the wrong instructions!'
The four-time world champion then told his daughter Kayla to ring the police.
'How's my house for sale? How's my house for sale?' yelled a bewildered Fenech.
'Don't you think I'd know if my house was for sale?'
Moments later Fenech took his threats up a notch.
'... I know you're videoing me, but in a minute you'll be having a little rest,' said Fenech.
Fenech eventually pushed the auctioneer off his property and onto the road
The auction continued with the bidding.
'Four's the bid. Four five. Here it goes,' yelled the auctioneer.
'Five million's the bid...'
An increasingly agitated Fenech paced around.
'It's worth over nine million,' he interjected.
The auctioneer grew louder as fake bidders pushed the price up above six million.
'Six point five once! Six point five twice!' he yelled.
Fenech snapped and grabbed the auctioneer and started pushing him onto the road.
Dib then rushed out of the car to let Fenech know it was a prank, giving his friend a bear hug as the actors and crew clapped.
Moments later Fenech had calmed down and was even smiling about the elaborate stitch-up.
'He got me well,' admitted Fenech.
Dib explained that Fenech had always been a part of his boxing career.
'We've had an amazing journey together,' he said.
'He's pranked so many people along the way, and today he finally got pranked.'
Fenech replied to Dib 'the pranker gets pranked'.

Pregnant teacher, 36, who had ‘sex with pupil, 15, after she groomed him' breaks down in tears in court
A PREGNANT teacher accused having sex with a 15-year-old pupil after grooming him has been granted bail. Karly Rae, 36, was arrested in October at her home in New South Wales, Australia on suspicion having intercourse with the boy, who attends her school. 3 3 Rae is a special needs teacher - but the schoolboy is not believed to have special needs. There is also no suggestion that the student is the father of her unborn child. Rae is alleged to have had sex with the pupil on October 4 last year, shortly before her arrest, according to court docs seen by The Daily Telegraph. Rae has pleaded not guilty to all charges against her - which also include possession of child abuse material and grooming a child for sex. During a bail hearing at the NSW Supreme Court on Friday, so the court heard Rae was initially granted bail, but later thrown behind bars for allegedly contacting the student. On January 14, she rang the alleged victim five times in two hours to persuade him to "give a false version of events", the court heard, which was said to breach a domestic violence order in place. Instead of agreeing, the teen told his mother what had happened and went to the police. Rae was then arrested and has been locked up for the past four months. However, the judge granted Rae bail on Friday under strict conditions, after hearing about her "high risk" pregnancy. Justice Dhanji said: "The applicant is 23 weeks pregnant, due to give birth in September." Evil mum jailed for SELLING daughter, 6, 'to healer who wanted eyes & skin' The expecting mother reportedly sobbed silently on the video link at the mention of her pregnancy. The judge noted her pregnancy was high risk owing to her gestational diabetes and history of miscarriages. But he also ruled that, due to the nature of the allegations against Rae, her child will be unable to stay with her in custody. Rae was slapped with at least 14 bail condition - including home detention, a ban on social media use, and a requirement to report to Toronto Police Station three times a week. The judge also said Rae is "no longer able to work as a teacher" and its "highly improbable" she will make attempts to have sex with a child. Earlier in the week, Rae pleaded not guilty to five charges via video link at Newcastle Magistrates Court. These included aggravated sexual intercourse with a child aged between 14 and 16, grooming a child for unlawful sexual activity and possession of child abuse material. Additional charges include acting to pervert the course of justice and breaching the violence order after allegedly contacting the student in January. Rae's case will go to trial in the District Court and will be arraigned in July.

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster's undeniable chemistry on show in resurfaced clip
and Sutton Foster 's palpable chemistry is on full display in a recently resurfaced clip. The Aussie A-lister, 56, went public with Sutton, 50, in January after months of speculation about a romance. However, a clip from 2022, uploaded to TikTok, shows the co-stars going 'off-script' for a flirtatious exchange The clip, uploaded by user shows the pair on stage during a performance of the Broadway musical The Music Man. The plot revolves around Foster's character Marian Paroo, falling for charming con man Harold Hill, played by the Wolverine star. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. While a certain amount of chemistry is required to pull off the on-stage relationship, it appears the co-stars went above and beyond in the resurfaced clip. The video shows the future couple in a tense exchange on stage that is punctuated by Foster briskly shoving Jackman in frustration. However, in a 'fourth wall' breaking moment, Jackman goes off script and playfully begins to sashay toward his co-star while beginning to remove his jacket. The display caused Foster to break character too, laughing along with the audience at Hugh's flirtatious advance The caption on the video read: 'If you're surprised by Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, let me remind you this is how freaked out they were during Music Man in 2022.' While the audience appeared to be enjoying the playful exchange, it was a sentiment not shared by many in the comments. Fans were quick to slam the pair for 'ruining' the scene with the cheeky improvisation. 'I saw this production,' one commented. 'Their consistent breaking of the fourth wall and mugging to the audience really ruined a wonderful musical. I was very disappointed.' Another chimed in with a similar: 'I saw it too and felt the same way. It was awful how many times they broke the fourth wall. It turned slapstick.' Others claimed the exchange was not as spontaneous as the actors might have you believe. 'They did this little 'fake break' every night,' one theatre fan suggested, while another offered: 'The fact that this 'break' was written into the production is so embarrassing.' One fan however, was quick to come to the co-stars' defence with: 'No one in these comments knows how to have fun. 'I saw this production twice and thought they were funny and charming and it's the only time I've ever like Marion.' Jackman and Foster went public with their relationship in January this year after splitting from their respective partners. The Wolverine star split with his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness in September 2023, while Foster filed for divorce from her husband Ted Griffin in October 2024. The resurfaced clip comes after Furness opened up about her feelings of 'betrayal' in a blistering statement to the Daily Mail. Their split appeared to turn bitter when she spoke about her 'traumatic journey of betrayal' in the wake of her divorce filing last month. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she said. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.' She continued: 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. 'I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.' She concluded her statement with the 'one thing' she has learned, which is 'that none of this is personal.' Hugh has yet to release his own statement on the split, but a source told the Daily Mail he had been left 'extremely disappointed' by Deborra-Lee's words as he believed they had an 'understanding' they would not publicly trash one another. 'There was no stipulation that she could not address this but there was an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press,' an insider said. 'She got around this by not naming him - instead focusing on how she felt.'

Brazen squatters watch TV in retiree's home while he gives news interview
A family of brazen squatters were filmed sleeping and watching television in a retiree's home while a news crew interviewed him about his property being taken over. The squatters had been living in the house for a year, after one moved in via a property listing before inviting his family to join him while homeowner Adrian was away visiting his dying mother. A film crew from Australian news show A Current Affair admonished the 'audacity' of the group, who had installed curtains to create makeshift bedrooms and refused to leave even while cameras were rolling.
