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.'
