Reality TV personality Wil Anderson from Love Island is scheduled to box against Jordan Banjo, known from Britain’s Got Talent and dance group Diversity, in a Misfits event.
This unexpected announcement revealed that the two will face off in a boxing match next month.
The main event of the night will feature a fight between former Love Island contestant Idris Virgo and Ty Mitchell.
Jordan, aged 32, from Diversity, has been actively training, as shown in his social media posts from his gym in London.
He has been sparring with notable figures like heavyweight Lewie Pochetty.
Wil, 23, who is dating his Love Island co-star Uma Jammeh, has a background in Muay Thai and is now transitioning his combat skills to boxing.
In October, Wil expressed his ambition to pursue a Misfits boxing career.
He stated his excitement about starting his boxing journey and training with Samm and Neraldo Ymeri, emphasizing his seriousness about boxing.
This fight announcement follows Wil’s challenge to Curtis Pritchard, a professional dancer and reality TV personality, to a boxing match.
Wil criticized Curtis for his appearance in Hollyoaks and called him a “fool.”
This challenge arose after Curtis mentioned his interest in boxing to Sunsport, as his dancing career has become less active.
Curtis also mentioned to Boxing Buzz Hub his interest in boxing several Love Island stars.
In 2019, Curtis trained with Tommy Fury for a TV show called The Boxer and the Ballroom Dancer, where he won a white-collar boxing match.
Speaking to Sunsport recently, Curtis reiterated his long-time interest in fighting and boxing, which he had to put aside for his dance career.
Curtis mentioned Sammy Root and Davide Sanclimenti as potential opponents.
