The Real Housewives of New Jersey ex has been busy living his life in the Bahamas, where he currently resides. But, he's about to embark on a whole new adventure this December, putting his extensive workout routine to use in a boxing match.

Details on Joe Giudice's appearance in upcoming celebrity boxing match

"Juicy Joe" announced on Instagram earlier this week that he would be squaring off against actor Antonio Sabato Jr. in a celebrity boxing match taking place in Nassau, Bahamas later this year. The father of four took to his Instagram feed later in the week, where he filmed a video talking about his very big news.

"I got an announcement to make," he said in the video. "I just signed a new contract with celebrity boxing, but this time it's official. OK? Three years ago, with Covid and everything, it was a little messed up. But it's official. It's happening, 'aight?"

Joe noted that while Antonio is "in shape" and an "Italian guy" just like him, "it's on" between them. "So make sure you comb ya hair, because there's going to be a hell of a windstorm, 'aight?" he added. 

The "Battle of the TV Stars" boxing match will take place on December 7 in the Bahamas. However, the rest of the details are still to come.

Over the past two months, Joe has taken to Instagram, where he has been showing off his fitness routine and his boxing moves. In a video posted to Instagram earlier this month, Joe can be seen hanging out on his patio, wearing boxing gloves, and throwing his best punches.

In another video, Joe showed off how he does his pushups while in the split position. "Alright, time to do the splits," Joe said in the video. "You see the abs coming in? I know you do." After showing off his full upper body strength, which is very handy for boxing, Joe kicked towards the camera. "Yeah!" he exclaimed. 

What does Joe Giudice do for a living?

In addition to his upcoming boxing gig, Joe's Instagram bio describes his job as an "entrepreneur" and "founder." He has previously said that he works on construction projects in the Bahamas and he has also been involved in a business called Worldwide Charter, billed as a luxury yacht service that provides charter tours in Miami, the Bahamas, and Italy.
