The Island Boys expect $1 million Influencer Boxing reality show
2 min read
The Island Boys, a rap duo, are being considered as candidates for an upcoming reality TV program about influencer boxing.
Late last year, the Island Boys broke the internet when their song “I’m an Island Boy” went popular on social media (and became stuck in everyone’s minds).
Their distinct design became a hot topic in pop culture, landing them spots on big podcasts like Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE and Steve-Wild O’s Ride!
Since then, they’ve gotten into a fight with TikTok star Bryce Hall, who challenged them to a two-on-one boxing contest.
They’re getting ready for the ring
The rappers finally accepted his offer months later, however, no date, venue, or other details have been released… However, it appears that they may already be planning another boxing venture.
LiveOne and Propagate Content announced in April 2022 that they will bring influencer boxing from the internet to the small screen with a reality program about the trend.
The event will pit 32 male and female influencers in the boxing ring to determine two champions, each of whom will receive a $1 million boxing contract with the new international Ultimate Social Boxing League, which LiveOne plans to debut this summer.
The founder of LiveOne is open to working with the Island Boys on this next initiative
While casting is still underway, LiveOne’s creator, Rob Ellin, told TMZ that he is open to working with the Island Boys on this next project.
“We’re looking for you,” Ellin said. “It looks fantastic.” It appears lively. These men appear to have the advertising talents necessary to develop the enthusiasm of a great brand. Isn’t that Steve Austin? The Stone. Hogan Hulk.”
“Would you like dolls made of you?” You want to work? Do you want to create a brand? Do you want to start your own tequila business? Sure, go ahead. “However, you need get into boxing form,” he continued.
There’s no need to worry, Ellin; the Island Boys have already shared their sparring footage on social media (though whether they’re up to standard remains to be seen).
For the time being, it appears that the rap pair is adding another ability to their repertoire… though it’s unclear when we’ll see them enter the ring.
