Following this incident, Grace took to her Twitter account to express her frustration and disappointment with the situation, stating:
"Wett Promotions is an absolute joke. This isn’t the first time she’s instigated something before the fight. At the press conference while I was off guard, she shoved me onto the floor. I’ve injured both my hip and head from her cheap shot, yet there was zero security today? I’m absolutely fuming. I came here for a fair fight, and she’s done nothing but try to sabotage me time after time."

"She should have trained her neck more smh."
Brooke's humorous response to Wett's dramatic table incident doesn't come as a surprise. The potential matchup between Elle Brooke and Astrid Wett has been a long-standing topic of discussion.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting this clash, and Brooke even likened it to KSI's feud with Jake Paul in a recent interview with TalkSport. In that interview, Brooke made it clear that Astrid Wett is her primary target in boxing, stating:
"Astrid Wett is obviously the big one. That would be my Jake Paul to KSI. KSI said he’d retire once he’d fought Jake Paul but, obviously, I’m not going to retire after I’ve beaten Astrid. I think Astrid is always going to be our main target."
