The new deal consists of five pay-per-view events which will begin on June 30th. Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. will fight internet bodybuilding star NDO Champ in the main event of the first event of the deal. The fight will be the “first-live physical boxing in the metaverse” which promises fight fans something that they have never seen before.
Damon Feldman, the founder of Official Celebrity Boxing, has confirmed UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman will come out of retirement to compete in the second event under the new contract.

Oddly enough, this announcement caught the interest of current TUF Coach Conor McGregor, with “Notorious” stating that he would be interested in fighting the 58-year-old Coleman.
In addition, a podcast, the “Official Celebrity Boxing Podcast“, is part of the new deal and is live and available through the FITE.TV platform.
