RING GIRL Apollonia Llewellyn has revealed she earns NINE TIMES more than she used to from being in boxing.
The 23-year-old began working in the sport as a teenager when she was employed by Ultimate White Collar boxing.
Back then she was earning just £100 for a night's work.
As a result, she left the ring-girl industry at the age of 19 to focus on modelling and building her social media profile.
But now she has returned to boxing following the rise of Misfits – which involves influencer "fighting".
And she has revealed the KSI-led organisation pays her a lucrative £900 per show – while it has also boosted her online presence.

Speaking to Entrepreneur, she said: "Now I am working with Misfits directly because they want to keep the same girls for every fight. I get paid around £900, which is about $1,100, per match.
"They've also mentioned that they will put us on a salary going forward.
"Taking this ring-girl gig paid off almost immediately. I posted promoting the first Misfit fight I did on Instagram and TikTok and my follower count went up by nearly 10,000 across both platforms.
"I've also noticed that when I post pictures in my ring-girl outfits, they get more interactions and usually it's KSI fans in the comments."

Her primary salary is made up from posting sexy pictures online.
Back in 2020, she revealed she earns £10,000 PER MONTH selling the images.
And she takes £25 every time someone subscribes to her OnlyFans account.
She also keeps up her influencer brand with two Instagrams and three TikToks per day.
Apollonia also earns from modelling shoots.
But she has not played down the impact of Misfits boxing in enhancing her reputation.
And she admits a huge amount of that is due to KSI being the frontman for the operation.
She added: "The power of KSI's fanbase has also impacted my recent experiences as a ring girl.
"The fans will ask to take pictures with me after a match even though I just hold the ring card.

"My brother watches all these guys on YouTube and told me to get a bottle of Prime – an energy drink brand that KSI and Logan Paul own – while I was there.
"I took a picture with the bottle and now Prime has sent me 10 cases. I feel like a lot of brand deals will come out of this work as well."
