Earlier this week, Blueface revealed that he has been training for his first professional boxing fight. This is another trend where we are seeing rappers and other celebrities, oddly wanting to step into the ring these days. The LA rapper has shared multiple training videos, and now, a fight date has been finalized.
This will officially be a bare-knuckle fight, set to take place on July 23. Blueface made this announcement while appearing on TMZ Live. He is now part of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. (BKFC) It’s still unclear who Blueface will be stepping in the ring with, but he believes it will be another celebrity.
“I’m pretty sure it’s either gonna be some type of YouTube or TikTok-er or something of that nature,” the rapper explained.
Blueface also added that he’s never boxed before. He’s just a gang member and knows how to fight simply based off of that. In preparation for the fight, he’s also been maintaining a healthy diet.
“I’ve only been eating grilled and baked stuff lately. Yeah, I’m on a diet and everything. I ain’t been smoking, drinking, nothing. I don’t know if you guys seen but me and YK Osiris was actually boxing in the backyard for fun, kicks and giggles, and that’s really how all of this celebrity boxing came about, in my opinion.”
