Model Monica Harris

NORTH stunner Monica Harris has proved she’s a true knock-out as organiser of The Model’s Fight Night.

Model Monica, from Stanley, County Durham, is the mastermind behind the competition which sees 16 gorgeous models boxing in front of an audience of thousands.

The stunner – who featured in an iPhone application of the top 200 women in the world – modelled in Playboy and appeared in “all of the lads’ mags at one time or another” ahead of the first Fight Night last year.

It blew her away with its success and now it’s back, bigger and better than ever.

Delighted Monica, 27, said: “I struggled at the start last year to get people to believe in my vision. People didn’t take us seriously but we did sell out the venue.

“I invited a lot of press and athletes last year and they were blown away by how good, and entertaining, the girls were.”

This year, the Model’s Fight Night has been taken seriously, and Monica is on track to sell out London’s HMV Forum, a venue three times bigger than last year’s.

She said: “Ticket sales are going really well and celebrities are coming.

“We’ve got Callum Best, actor Noel Clarke, Charlie Bewley from Twilight, Diversity and Ultimate Cage Fighting champions coming, among others.”

And she reassures us that the fighting certainly isn’t staged.
