JOE Giudice is set to fight Antonio Sabato Jr., in a Celebrity Boxing match in the Bahamas.
In promotional videos, shared exclusively with The U.S. Sun, a mid-workout Antonio is seen hitting a boxing bag while intermittently talking to the camera about the upcoming fight.
Meanwhile, Joe‘s video has him talking about his “in shape” opponent, who calls himself “the Italian Stallion.”
The men, who are both 52 years old, are set to face off in the ring in December in the Bahamas, as Joe’s immigration status has him barred from entering the United States.
In the reality star’s video, Joe explains this isn’t his first time promoting a fight with Celebrity Boxing, as the pandemic sidelined the event.
“All right, I got an announcement to make, I just signed a new contract with Celebrity Boxing, but this time, it’s official.
“Three years ago with Covid and everything was a little messed up, but it’s official.
“It’s happening. All right? My new opponent is going to be Antonio Sabato Jr., you might know him from General Hospital, Calvin Klein model, I don’t know, but this guy’s in shape,” Joe continues.
“Italian guy, calls himself the Italian Stallion.
“It’s on! So make sure you comb your hair, because there’s going to be a hell of a windstorm.
“Alright, stay tuned. It’s happening,” the former Real Housewives of New Jersey star concludes.
Meanwhile, Antonio’s video starts out with the actor casually dropping that he’s at the end of a four-hour workout.
“So here we go, Celebrity Boxing got an opponent for me, his name is Joe Giudice. He wants to fight me.
“We’ll fight at the beginning of December of this year. We also have bigger fights for next year, so we’re looking really good,” the former Soap star says to the camera between bag punches.
“This is my the end of my four-hour workout, so here we go.”
He then puts his sunglasses on and takes a jab at influencer-turned-boxer, Jake Paul.
“Gotta put the shades. And by the way, Jake Paul, I know you’re putting these shades on to train, I’ve been doing this since the 90s, so you’re not the first one to do this- working out with shades. A lot of stuff you guys are doing out there, I’ve been already doing it for quite some time.”
The former model signed off his video saying, “See you soon guys, stay strong.”
According to a press release from Celebrity Boxing, the fight will be titled Battle in the Bahamas and is scheduled for December 7th, in Nassau.
There will be a press conference on August 31st on Junkanoo Beach.
