Joey Essex showed off his rock-hard abs in shirtless boxing snaps as he prepares for his match against Portuguese influencer Numeiro.
The former TOWIE star, 34, will be making his highly anticipated boxing debut at the Misfits event on August 30.
Ahead of the event, BoohooMAN shared a series of shirtless snaps of Joey flaunting his insanely ripped physique in a pair of green boxing shorts.
The global fashion brand announced its official partnership with Misfits Boxing 22: Ring of Thrones on Tuesday.
It includes exclusive ring and rope branding throughout the event, plus a limited-edition five-piece apparel collection featuring a special KSI design, dropping ahead of the spectacular at Manchester’s AO Arena.
Samir Kamani, CEO boohooMAN said: ‘The partnership between boohooMAN and Misfits feels like a very natural fit, with strong similarities between our community and the Misfits fanbase.

‘We share a passion for breaking boundaries, challenging the norm and creating moments that resonate on a global scale.
‘Working with the Misfits team has been an organic integration and something we’re proud to announce. We’re excited to see what’s to come in the future.’
Joey was in line to feature on Misfits Boxing’s ‘super card’ in Qatar last November against KSI’s brother Deji.
But it fell through as the reality star went on to appear on season 11 of Love Island instead.
Fast forward a year later, and he is now set to face Numeiro, who has a little bit of experience in the ring.
The Portuguese star lost his only career fight – a 2023 sixth-round stoppage by Kalin Simeonov.
It comes after Joey put his £2.2million Essex mansion up for rent for a whopping £10,000 a month after deciding to leave the UK for a year to train as a boxer.
The reality star signed himself up to undergo intensive training at gyms in Los Angeles and Dubai.

He is getting in shape to tackle some of the biggest names in boxing, including KSI, Jake Paul and YouTuber Deji Olatunji.
Joey is supported with his boxing dreams by Misfits Boxing, whose co-founder, Mams Taylor, said he has got the commitment needed to succeed in the ring.
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 previously told 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.’
