Clark also posted the promo to Instagram, writing, “I’m so excited to announce that I will be fighting this summer. This is literally the first of its kind! Former Big Brother contestants will be going head to head in the boxing ring. You don’t want to miss this! I’ve always wanted to box and here I am about to get in the ring against another bad a** from Big Brother Canada. This event WILL be Pay-Per-View so stay tuned for details on how to secure your viewing.”
On Twitter, Ballantine confirmed in the comments that the date will be announced later on this spring when they are closer to the event. He also said his “early pick for fight of the night” is the one between Clark and Doherty because “both of them are absolute beasts (in a positive competitive sense, of course).”
Big Brother All-Stars winner Cody Calafiore also said he was asked to participate, but he said “there’s no way [he] was gonna get in the ring.”
“Enzo [Palumbo] called me and was like, ‘Bro, I’m doing this boxing match’… and I’m like why did you say yes, Enzo?!” said Calafiore on the podcast “Hello Friends,” marveling that Palumbo, at the age of 42, is going to be boxing some of the “beast” guys who are participating. He added, “I’m like, no thanks. I’m past doing that young and stupid s***.”
Big Brother U.S. returns in summer 2021 for its 23rd season. Big Brother Canada returns for its ninth season on March 3.
