No one can say Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Joe Giudice has been lazy since his exodus from the United States. Now happily living in the Bahamas and looking fit, it seems a new opportunity has come Joe’s way.
Celebrity boxing matches are a thing, usually consisting of a couple of D-list stars, still clinging to that last minute of fame. The “fights” are largely fixed and the victor chosen before either has-been enters the ring. It appears Juicy Joe’s number has been chosen for one of these widely-spectated events.
Ladies and Gentlemen – in this corner…
In lieu of actual celebrities participating in a celebrity boxing match, Juicy Joe will meet Antonio Sabato Jr. with gloves on. You might remember Antonio if you’re over the age of 45 and have vague memories of him on General Hospital or Melrose Place. Now he is apparently a for-hire boxer headed to the Bahamas to “fight” the divorced man of a Real Housewives star. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Juicy Joe shared promo videos with The US Sun of the anticipated match. Antonio calls himself the “Italian Stallion.” This obviously lacks originality and is most likely a desperate attempt to show some power over Joe. What Antonio does not realize is, Joe can do the splits. Don’t make him reveal this daring display of sportsmanship only rivaled by the legendary Kyle Richards.
Both Juicy and Stallion are 52 years old and neither are particularly out of shape for their age group. They will meet in December and thankfully, Joe will not have to travel as the festivities are taking place in the Bahamas.
The video shows Juicy saying this isn’t his first time trying to get a boxing thing going, but the pandemic halted any previous attempts. He says, “All right, I got an announcement to make, I just signed a new contract with Celebrity Boxing, but this time, it’s official.”
He added, “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.”
“It’s on! So make sure you comb your hair, because there’s going to be a hell of a windstorm,” Joe concludes. Um. What does this mean, about the windstorm? Have I been missing some breezy effect that comes along with two men who have AARP cards boxing?
The Italian Stallion speaks…
Now it’s Antonio’s turn for the ‘ol razzle dazzle. The former model shared, ”So here we go, Celebrity Boxing got an opponent for me, his name is Joe Giudice. He wants to fight me.”
The Stallion continued with some details, ”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,” make sure you note his intimidating bag workout. “This is my the end of my four-hour workout, so here we go,” Antonio said.
Then for some reason, this man decides to insult Jake Paul, which tracks because Jake Paul only likes to fight people approximately 30 years his senior.
“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.”
Antonio closed with, ”See you soon guys, stay strong.”
The fight, labeled Battle in the Bahamas is scheduled to take place December 7, 2024 in Nassau. Good luck to both quinquagenarians.
