Reality TV star Demi Sims is said to be eyeing up a career as a professional boxer, in a surprise career move for the former TOWIE favourite.
The 26-year-old star has reportedly been taking her fitness seriously since returning home to Essex from LA.
Demi has been training hard at her dad’s gym, Matchroom Boxing, and has been sparring with fellow boxing star Maisey-Rose Courtney.
Sources close to the star have suggested that a career crossover could be on the horizon, as she has been “very passionate” about fitness and staying healthy.
Demi’s dedication to training is so serious that she appears to be stepping away from reality TV.
A source told the Mail Online: “She’s been taking it more seriously… and as her dad is an elite trainer, it makes complete sense for her to potentially crossover. She’s been training alongside Maisey-Rose Courtney who’s going to be a world champion, and enjoying it a lot.”
The reality star has been showcasing her new look recently, trading her long blonde hair for a bob.
In an Instagram Story last month, the star shared a photo of herself at a salon with the caption, “Grown out my bob as long as poss too now cut it all off again, why is this a reoccurring situation, good bye”.
Although she had been wearing ultra-long extensions, Demi’s natural blonde hair was revealed to be down to her chest and featured many face-framing layers.
Her stylist, Joel Maguire, revealed on Instagram that he had chosen to go for a sleek, smooth style without layers and had added tape-in extensions from Blend Hair UK to make the blunt bob work.
Demi has also been reconnecting with ex Megan Barton-Hanson.
In February, the TOWIE star confirmed that she and Megan had reignited their romance, four years after their split.
Demi’s potential career move has sparked interest and excitement among fans and boxing enthusiasts alike. One fan tweeted, “If Demi Sims does become a professional boxer, she could do what Holly Holm did and become a huge star in combat sports.” Another said, “If she’s serious, I think Demi could definitely make a name for herself in the boxing world.”
