This Aussie Reality Star Just Agreed to Fight After That Insane Ring Invasion

By Lewis Barnett 4 September, 2025 4 mins read 746 Views

So apparently storming into a boxing ring wearing white lingerie is now considered a legitimate career move.

Arabella Del Busso – you might know her as "Lil Bellsy" or that woman who made headlines for all the wrong reasons – just locked in another Misfits boxing match. This time she's going up against Monique Bovino, and honestly? I'm here for the chaos.

When Security Guards Start Laughing, You Know It's Peak Entertainment

Last week in Manchester, Del Busso pulled off what might be the most ridiculous ring invasion I've ever witnessed. Picture this: Carla Jade just finished demolishing her opponent to retain the Misfits women's title. Crowd's going wild. Then suddenly, here comes Arabella in white lingerie, storming the ring like she owns the place.

The security guard trying to escort her out was literally smiling. That tells you everything about how "spontaneous" this whole thing was.

Turns out it was all staged – Del Busso confirmed later she was challenging Jade for the title. But you know what? It worked. We're all talking about it, and now she's got another fight lined up.

Meet Your New Favorite Trainwreck

Del Busso (real name Donna Preusker, because of course it is) isn't exactly new to controversy. This woman has more plot twists than a soap opera.

She dated NRL star Josh Reynolds. Appeared on SAS Australia. Spent five months in Dillwynia Women's Correctional Centre after stealing $52,000 from her job as a receptionist. And somewhere between all that drama, she decided boxing was her calling.

Her Misfits record? One win, one loss. Beat someone called "Lil Kymchii" in 2023, then lost to Andrea-Jane Bunker. Not exactly championship material, but entertainment value? Through the roof.

The Bovino Factor

Monique Bovino brings a 3-2 amateur record to this mess. She's a broadcaster, model, and apparently someone who thought agreeing to fight a convicted thief turned reality star was a solid career decision.

The promotional material is calling this an "epic clash of Australian beauties." I'm calling it a Tuesday night that's about to get very interesting.

Why This Actually Matters (Sort Of)

Look, I get it. This isn't exactly high-level athletic competition we're talking about here.

But there's something weirdly compelling about watching someone completely reinvent themselves after hitting rock bottom. Del Busso got out of prison last year and immediately started throwing punches for money. There's either incredible resilience there or complete delusion.

Maybe both. Probably both.

The fight's supposedly happening later this year, assuming this isn't another elaborate publicity stunt. With Del Busso's track record, you never really know what's real and what's performance art.

Either way, I'll be watching. Sometimes the most authentic entertainment comes from the most inauthentic people.
