THERE’S a strong chance Sonny Bill Williams won’t be allowed to fight former Bachelorette contestant and Sophie Monk’s ex in their proposed charity match, so Confidential has a new contender for Laundy in mind.
Enter Titus Day, Monk’s long time agent.
Sunday Confidential stumbled across online images last week of the usually suited-up talent manager taking part in an Mixed Martial Arts cage fight.
Calls to Day confirmed he has been in a training program for more than six months and won his inaugural match last month.

“I love UFC and fighting (and also manage most of Australia’s top MMA fighters) so I thought I’d give it a crack,” Day told Sunday Confidential.
“The course is called Wimp2Warrior and you basically train (every morning) for 25 weeks and then have a proper MMA cage fight at the end of it.”
While the father-of-three claims to have already retired from fighting, he said he would get his gloves out again to land one on Laundy, who famously took a swipe at his client Monk’s “smoking and boozing”.
And there’s a good chance it might happen.
Days after the celebrity boxing match was announced, fears were raised in the NSW State Parliament that the bout could breach strict laws.
The Opposition called for sporting authorities to investigate the “unequal” match because the permit application for the December 1 match is for an amateur match, not a professional contest.
“The MMA fight was just a one-fight deal and I’ll happily retire undefeated now. Unless of course Sonny Bill Williams pulls out of his fight with Stu Laundy … in which case I’m happy to step up in SBW’s place,” said Day, 45. “Someone needs to defend Sophie’s honour.”
Millionaire publican Stu Laundy, 44, is also on board.
“It’s game on, but on two conditions: one, Sophie must be the ring girl and two, Titus has to make a nice donation to the cause we are doing this for which is the Exodus Foundation and the Bill Crews Charitable Trust,” he said, adding that more potential foes had also put their hand up.
