There is a huge boxing event coming up on December 18th, which sees Frank Gore take on Deron Williams and Jake Paul squaring up against Tommy Fury. You’d be forgiven for thinking that none of those names are famous for being in the boxing ring. But that’s the point – that’s the idea behind celebrity boxing. If you’re keen and curious to find out more, you can read our report on the topic right here.
How can I watch the celebrity boxing match?
There are multiple ways to watch the match you’re interested in. The best thing to do is to check on boxing live streams and information online. The availability of the matches may depend on where you live. Those in the US should be able to get access to the match on TV as it streams from Tampa in Florida. Check local listings and see if you can find live action online too – you may even be able to place a wager on the match and watch in-play on certain websites.
Is celebrity boxing real?
It certainly is! It began in 1994 when a match took place involving Donny Osmond and Danny Bonaduce. Donny Osmond is famous for being one of the Osmonds, of course, while Bonaduce is a US actor and comedian. Since then, various other famous people have taken part in celebrity boxing matches.
What are the top 10 boxing matches of all time?
It’s tough to give a definitive list of the top boxing matches because everyone has their own ideas about what makes a classic match. It might also depend on your age, as older people are going to remember the greats such as Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, whereas fans of today know about Tyson Fury and other major names.
Many lists put the matches between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury in the top spot (or two spots, as they took place in 2018 and 2025). Would you agree with this? A lot depends on how you rank a boxing match. The buildup is sometimes more thrilling than the match itself. Some boxing matches rake in far more money than others, and yet it’s other matches that linger for far longer in the mind. What we can say is that the classics usually feature the big names – Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson, Tyson Fury… and we could go on.
What is the most famous boxing match?
We did some research on this and the most fascinating fact is that no one agrees on one classic match. Many of the names we mentioned above feature on the top 10 lists, but there is no agreement on a single match being the most famous of all. Even taking into account the age of those considering the question, with older people going for matches between former boxers and younger ones choosing those who are famous today, there is no consensus to go with.
What is the richest boxing match ever?
According to research, we can name the match between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao that occurred in 2015 as the one to take this title. It was far from an exciting bout, but since tickets are sold in advance for pay per view and being there while it happened, the event managed to amass $410 million in PPV sales alone. Mayweather walked away with $250 million, Pacquiao with $150. And that’s without considering ticket sales and merch…
Who fought in celebrity boxing?
Celebrity boxing matches have taken place for years now, with participants including Vanilla Ice, Tonya Harding, Ricky Gervais, and many others. There have been cases where celebrities have taken part in professional matches, but in many instances, the celebrity boxing matches take place for charity or as amateur bouts.
Who started the celebrity boxing trend?
We can confirm the details we gave above, with Donny Osmond and Danny Bonaduce kick-starting the trend many years ago. This was done for charity, but we doubt either of the participants knew where that bout would eventually lead.
Who won the celebrity boxing match?
If you’re reading this before December 18th, you’ll need to wait for the answer! Of course, there have been many other celebrity boxing matches in the past, and you can usually find out the winner by searching for information on the two participants.
Why do celebrities do boxing?
It’s difficult to find an answer for this one. It makes sense that the only celebrities to take part in boxing matches are those with a passion for the sport. Perhaps some are living out the dream of being boxers when their lives took them in other directions. Some might just want the thrill of taking part, just for once, when their careers usually involve many other different elements. Who knows?
Of course, for some, boxing is a way of keeping fit rather than being involved in the actual sport. They won’t take part in a boxing match, instead using boxing workouts to keep fit and active. Some have more physical acting roles than others, or simply wish to maintain a higher level of fitness and strength.
