WHILE Nigel Farage prepares to clash with Fred Sirieix and Grace Dent, he is unaware that a third far more threatening opponent is about to enter the ring.
The Sun can reveal former heavyweight boxer Tony Bellew is the third in this year’s camp to have traded criticism with the former Ukip leader over his political views.

Just months ago, the 40-year-old Championship campaigner called Farage an “absolute maniac” over his views on immigration.
It comes after The Sun revealed yesterday that food critic Grace had made sick jokes about the Brexiteer’s plane crash in 2010, while TV personality Fred previously branded him a “coward”.
Tony hit out at the politician in response to a video message Nigel shared online in November 2022, in which he discussed Office for National Statistics figures suggesting London, Birmingham and Manchester are now all classed as minority white cities.
Nigel says: “There is a huge change in our country’s identity through immigration.”

But in a snappy message, Tony hit back: “Why does someone’s color matter?
“Who cares if you are white, black, yellow or pink?
“The only thing that matters is whether they are good or not good people!
“Learn to see people as they are, not as they appear!
“Racism still exists because of people like you!
“You are an absolute maniac!”
Tony is set to enter camp later this week alongside Frankie Dettori as one of the rumored latecomers to the show.
A source close to Farage said: “Nigel is a boxing fan and has many friends in the industry including heavyweight Derek Chisora.
“He’s a fan of anyone who gets in the ring – so they should have a lot to talk about.”
The Sun shared on Sunday that Masterchef critic Grace wrote: “I hope none of the people who saved Nigel Farage’s life today are boring immigrants.”
Farage said he feared he would ‘burn to death’ after the two-seater he was traveling in crashed into a field in Brackley, Northamptonshire, at around 80mph on May 6 2010 – the morning of the general election.
