TNT Sports presenter who used to be in Gladiators steals show at Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk in incredible red dress
CAROLINE PEARCE has turned heads with a knockout look for Tyson Fury’s heavyweight showdown against Oleksandr Usyk.
The TNT Sports presenter dazzled in a stunning red outfit for the dust-up in Riyadh on Saturday night.
Pearce worked the red carpet and chatted to famous faces from both boxing and entertainment as they entered the arena.
She shared clips of the event with her 101,000 Instagram fans, gasping: “Star-studded arrivals!”
The 43-year-old is best known to some for playing Ice in Sky One’s version of Gladiators.
She is also a former heptathlete and bobsledder, competing in the 2005 World Bobsleigh Championships for Team GB.
Pearce joined TNT before its rebrand from BT Sport and mainly covers MMA.
She recently said: “I had my major break, joining BT Sport when the channel launched as their lead host for the UFC studio show.
“Little did I know that this job would eventually lead me Stateside to California, where talking about fight sports would be the mainstay of my broadcasting career!”
On Saturday in Saudi, Pearce rocked a stunning figure-hugging gown as she interviewed stars including snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan and UFC’s Francis Ngannou.
Posing for a snap infront of the ring, she declared: “Fight Night Ready in Riyadh!”

One fan gasped in response: “Looking gorgeous in red!”
Another said: “Absolutely STUNNING.”
While a third added: “Only one knockout in Saudi tonight.”
In the ring, it was a tough night for Fury as he failed to reclaim the IBO, WBC, and WBO belts he lost in May.
Usyk won a unanimous decision from the judges after a display of guile and power.
The Gypsy King stormed out of the ring after the judges cards were revealed.
SunSport later spotted Fury briefly catching up with former trainer Ben Davison backstage.
The towering 6ft 9in star bellowed: “Robbed there.”
He added: “I swear to God I thought I won by at least three rounds.”
