Demi Sims is planning a surprise career move as a professional boxer that would see her follow in the footsteps of her elite trainer father, Tony.
The former TOWIE star, 26, is looking forward to her breakthrough in the sport since the end of filming House Of Sims, the OnlyFans TV reality series she shot in LA with her famous family.
Now back in her native Essex, Demi has been working hard at her father’s gym, Matchroom Boxing, where she has practiced in the ring with rising star, Maisey-Rose Courtney.
She is also open to amateur or influencer categories and is eager to land her first fight while continuing her reality TV career at the same time.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Demi has always been very passionate about fitness and staying healthy, but now that she’s back from LA where she’s filming her new House Of Sims series, she’s taking it more seriously.

“She’s a really talented boxer and since her dad is an elite trainer, it makes perfect sense for her potential crossover.
“She is training with Maisey-Rose Courtney, who is going to be world champion, and is enjoying it immensely.
‘Who knows? You saw her on one channel with House Of Sims and on the other boxing. It’s certainly a big possibility.’
Demi was seen in action on Wednesday when Tony and her sister Frankie took to their Instagram Stories.
They both cheered her on ringside and shared boomerangs from the girls working up a sweat.
Tony wrote: ‘@_maiseyrose Collect @demisims for the first time today. Well done girls,” Frankie added, “@_maiseyrose Watching all the sparring today.”
It comes after an insider claimed that Demi and her siblings have been paid a six-figure sum for their show.
House Of Sims – the show starring Demi, her two sisters Chloe, 41, and Frankie, 27, and brother Charlie, 30, as well as his fiancé Georgia Shults, 31 – has already netted the family £500,000 before it’s even aired.

In addition, the show has already been renewed for two seasons.
That’s what an insider told me The sun: ‘The bosses of OnlyFans TV have great faith in Chloe and her sisters Frankie, Demi and their brother Charlie.
“They have tons of money to splash on talent, and understand that the family brings their own fan base after years of being on TOWIE.
The family seemed to be having the time of their lives when they moved to Los Angeles, though the move was a “huge adjustment.”
The insider added, “The girls also love life in LA and mingle with American stars, but it’s been a huge adjustment and there’s been a ton of drama to keep viewers entertained.”
While it wasn’t her original plan, it seems Chloe would rather put her roots in the US and make it her permanent home.
Last year, Chloe said she and her family are “going to live out our dream” in their new reality show, with sister Frankie promising it will be as raw as possible.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Chloe, who recently left TOWIE to appear on the new show, said: “I’m so excited to have taken the plunge…
‘We are going to make our dream come true together.’
Frankie added that fans will see a different side of the Sims family in the new show, where they are in control of how they are edited.
It will follow the main family of The Sims as they try to “go global” away from Essex and on their travels across the US.
The show will air later this year.
