Furious Aussie boxing legend Jeff Fenech storms out of his house in his underwear and tells his wife to call the cops
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'.

Tyson Fury, 36, claims he will ‘NEVER' return to boxing just weeks after announcing comeback and hints at new career
TYSON FURY has claimed he will NEVER return to boxing - just weeks after announcing plans for a comeback. Fury retired in January - for the fourth time in his career - a month after he was beaten again by Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch. 2 Then in July, the unpredictable Gypsy King told a crowd of his fans at an event in BoxPark Wembley that he would return to the ring in 2026. But Fury - who suffers from bipolar - appears to have already KO'd that idea in what is his latest retirement U-turn. Asked when he will fight again, he told Sky Sports: "Never. Really! Too old, look at my beard, all grey. Boxing's a young man's game." Fury was at the Doncaster Racecourse where his three-year-old filly named Big Gypsy King - trained in Oxfordshire by Oliver Cole - was in action. But she finished dead last out of 11 having sent off a 7-1 shot. If Fury is truly retired, he opened the door to potentially focusing on a career as a horse race owner. He said: "Maybe. Who knows?" It comes as a blow to fans who wanted to see Fury, 36, fight Anthony Joshua, 35, next year. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Especially after Fury said in July: "I do miss it, every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it. "I've been away seven months, missed it everyday. I'm open to offers at the moment. 'Started from the bottom' - Proud Tyson Fury watches race horse Big Gypsy King at Doncaster from owners' section "I'm not going to be doing any comebacks this year, that's for sure. I'm busy as you can see I've got Netflix here. "I'm filming At Home With The Furys season two. Come on! And then next year the big GK is going to make a f***ing comeback. "The takeover! I'm gonna be 37 in about three weeks so I'm going to be the oldest swinger with all these young boys coming up it's going to be difficult. "But I believe I can put on some very good nights still." 2

Dirty sock once worn by Michael Jackson sells at auction for an eye-watering sum
A dirty sock once worn by Michael Jackson has raised a staggering £6,600 at an auction in France. The single crystal-encrusted sock was used by the King of Pop at a concert in Nimes, a city in the south of France, in 1997. It was found by a technician after the American's performance and has been preserved for 28 years in a frame. The sock was only expected to fetch between £2,500 to £3,000 at the Nimes auction house, but raked in £6,640 on Wednesday. It was originally white with glittering rhinestones, but they have yellowed as they have aged. Jackson wore white athletic socks during his 1997 HIStory World Tour, which saw him perform 82 concerts in 57 cities across 35 countries. He can be seen wearing the sock in clips of him performing his hit 'Billie Jean'. Aurore Illy, the auctioneer, said: 'It really is an exceptional object – even a cult one for Michael Jackson fans.' Jackson faced allegations of child molestation before he died of an overdose aged 50 in 2009. Nevertheless, his clothing has sold for large sums following his death 16 years ago. In 2009, a casino in the Chinese gambling haven of Macau paid £260,000 for a glittery glove the pop star wore when he performed his first 'moonwalk' dance in 1983. A hat he wore before that show was bought for over £60,000 in a Paris auction in September 2023. Two months later a black and white leather jacket he donned in a Pepsi advert in 1984 went for £250,000. In 2011, the contents of the house he last lived in sold for around £646,000 at an auction in Los Angeles.

Gold Logie winner Hamish Blake fined $400 in shock airport incident
Two-time Gold Logie winner Hamish Blake recently found himself in an unexpected predicament during a trip to New Zealand, where a routine airport inspection turned into a costly affair. The Lego Masters Australia host, 43, revealed on the Hamish and Andy podcast that he was halted at customs when a suspicious item was detected in his backpack. Hamish recounted the perplexing moment his bag was singled out by an officer. 'My backpack has a lot of compartments – it's actually the world's best backpack,' Hamish joked. 'I'm like, "Listen, you might not be familiar with this particular backpack, where is it? How can I help you? Can I find this thing for you?" He goes, "no, I'll need to do it".' 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. To his bemusement, the officer retrieved a small red apple hidden under an emergency rain jacket in the front pouch of his bag. 'Is this yours?' the officer asked, to which Hamish said he humorously responded, 'I've never seen that apple before in my life.' Despite the innocent nature of the mishap, he was slapped with a hefty $400 fine by Biosecurity New Zealand. The comedian speculated the apple may have inadvertently found its way into his bag during a previous trip to South Africa. Reflecting on the incident, he shared his disbelief at the consequences of what he dubbed an 'accidental apple mishap.' Despite the fine and the incident now on his record, Hamish maintained his trademark humour, joking about the apple's international journey and its unintended role as a gift to the people of NZ. Hamish has been nominated for a Gold Logie this year for his presenting work on Lego Masters Australia. It comes after a surprise frontrunner emerged in the race to take out the coveted Gold Logie at this year's TV WEEK Logie Awards. Beloved Home and Away star Lynne McGranger, 72, is now the clear favourite to win Australian television's top prize, after a wave of public support and sentimental backing for her 33-year run as Irene Roberts on the long-running soap. According to betting giant Sportsbet, McGranger has stormed into the lead with odds of just $1.37 – far ahead of her nearest rivals. She's now well ahead of A Current Affair's Ally Langdon ($5.00), LEGO Masters host Hamish Blake ($8.50), ABC presenter Lisa Millar ($10.00), and comedian Julia Morris ($11.00). Meanwhile, MasterChef Australia star Poh Ling Yeow sits at $13.00, while 2023 Gold Logie winner Sonia Kruger has blown out to $17.00. The veteran actress, who earlier this year announced her departure from Home and Away, is being widely tipped to take home the Gold as a touching send-off from viewers. At the ceremony, beloved rocker Jimmy Barnes is set to take the stage at The Star Sydney on August 3, bringing four decades of fan-favourite hits to Aussie ears. Meanwhile, comedian Sam Pang will host the event for the third time. Sam's cheeky and irreverent comedy as host last year and in 2023 proved to be a big hit with audiences and TV's A-list, as well as a major ratings winner for Seven. The ceremony will be available to watch from 7:00pm on Sunday, August 3 on Seven and 7Plus. 65th TV WEEK LOGIE AWARDS NOMINATIONS TV WEEK GOLD LOGIE – Most Popular Personality on Australian Television Ally Langdon - A Current Affair, The Olympic Games Paris 2024, 9Network Hamish Blake - LEGO Masters Australia, 9Network Julia Morris - I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Network 10 Lisa Millar - Back Roads, ABC News Breakfast, Muster Dogs: Where Are They Now, Muster Dogs: Collies & Kelpies, ABC Lynne McGranger - Home and Away, Seven Network Poh Ling Yeow - MasterChef Australia, Network 10 Sonia Kruger - The Voice, Dancing With The Stars, Logies Red Carpet Show, Seven Network Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter Hamish Blake - LEGO Masters Australia, 9Network Julia Morris - I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Network 10 Ricki-Lee - Australian Idol, Seven Network Sonia Kruger - The Voice, Dancing With The Stars, Logies Red Carpet Show, Seven Network Todd Woodbridge - Tipping Point Australia, Australian Open, The Olympic Games Paris 2024, Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, 9Network Zan Rowe - Take 5 With Zan Rowe, ABC New Year's Eve, ABC Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent Guy Montgomery - Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee, ABC Hailey Pinto - Home and Away, Seven Network Jenny Tian - Taskmaster Australia, Network 10 Kate Miller-Heidke - The Voice, Seven Network Kylah Day - Territory, Netflix Sofia Levin - MasterChef Australia, Network 10 Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter Ally Langdon - A Current Affair, 9Network David Speers - Insiders, ABC Michael Usher - 7NEWS, 7NEWS Spotlight, Seven Network Peter Overton - 9News, 9Network Sarah Ferguson - 7.30, ABC Tara Brown - 60 Minutes, Dangerous Lies: Unmasking Belle Gibson, 9Network TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actor in a Drama Lloyd Griffith - Return To Paradise, ABC Michael Dorman - Territory, Netflix Robert Taylor - Territory, Netflix Sam Corlett - Territory, Netflix Sam Neill - The Twelve, BINGE / FOXTEL Tai Hara - Return To Paradise, ABC TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actress in a Drama Alycia Debnam-Carey - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Anna Samson - Return To Paradise, ABC Anna Torv - Territory, Netflix Ayesha Madon - Heartbreak High, Netflix Kaitlyn Dever - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Lynne McGranger - Home and Away, Seven Network TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Aaron Chen - Fisk, ABC Ben Miller - Austin, ABC Clancy Brown - Good Cop/Bad Cop, Stan Luke Cook - Good Cop/Bad Cop, Stan Michael Theo - Austin, ABC Patrick Brammall - Colin From Accounts, BINGE / FOXTEL TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Harriet Dyer - Colin From Accounts, BINGE / FOXTEL Jenna Owen - Nugget is Dead: A Christmas Story, Stan Kitty Flanagan - Fisk, ABC Leighton Meester - Good Cop/Bad Cop, Stan Sally Phillips, Austin - ABC Vic Zerbst - Nugget is Dead: A Christmas Story, Stan TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Supporting Actor Ashley Zukerman - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Darren Gilshenan - Colin From Accounts, BINGE / FOXTEL Glenn Butcher - Fisk, ABC Mark Coles Smith - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Matt Nable - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Sam Delich - Territory, Netflix TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Supporting Actress Aisha Dee - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Chloé Hayden - Heartbreak High, Netflix Julia Zemiro - Fisk, ABC Marg Downey - The Newsreader, ABC Michelle Lim Davidson - The Newsreader, ABC Tilda Cobham-Hervey - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Best Drama Program Bump - Stan Heartbreak High - Netflix Return To Paradise - ABC Territory - Netflix The Newsreader - ABC The Twelve - BINGE / FOXTEL Best Miniseries or Telemovie Apple Cider Vinegar - Netflix Critical Incident - Stan Fake - Paramount+ How To Make Gravy - BINGE / FOXTEL Human Error - 9Network Plum - ABC Best Entertainment Program ABC New Year's Eve - ABC Australian Idol - Seven Network Countdown 50 Years On - ABC Dancing With The Stars - Seven Network The Voice - Seven Network Vision Australia's Carols by Candlelight - 9Network Best Current Affairs Program 60 Minutes - 9Network 7.30 - ABC 7NEWS Spotlight - Seven Network A Current Affair - 9Network Australian Story - ABC Four Corners - ABC Best Scripted Comedy Program Austin - ABC Colin From Accounts - BINGE / FOXTEL Fisk - ABC Good Cop/Bad Cop - Stan Melbourne International Comedy Festival - ABC Optics - ABC Best Comedy Entertainment Program Gruen - ABC Hard Quiz - ABC Have You Been Paying Attention?
