They came to blows on Married At First Sight, now it seems reality stars Cyrell Paule and Jessika Power will battle their differences by facing off in the boxing ring.
But plans for a celebrity boxing match between the feuding pair have had to be postponed until next year after Paule this week announced she is pregnant.
“I’m absolutely still itching to fight Jessika after the baby is born,” Paule told Confidential. “She has talked too much s**t about me to be honest and no matter what I still want this fight to happen.”
To that, Power responded: “With apologies to, and in the immortal words of, Muhammad Ali, I’m going to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. I’m going to beat Cyrell in round three.”
Celebrity minder and publicist Max Markson manages both women.
“It would have been enormous … bigger than Muhammad Ali’s Thriller in Manila and Rumble in the jungle,” he said.
“I contracted both of them. They were being well paid and were going to become professional boxers. Cyrell has now fallen pregnant so there will be a pregnant pause in the fight preparations. Hopefully it’ll take place in mid 2020, a few months after the baby is born.”
The plan was for Paule and Power to fight in three two minute rounds in November with the bout to be broadcast on television.
Power’s father was a professional boxer and Markson had planned to line up triple World Champion Jeff Fenech and Joe Bugner, who fought Ali twice, to train her.
Paule meanwhile was to be trained by Love Island reality star partner Eden Dally.
“Both were extremely excited to fight each other,” Markson claimed. “Cyrell was very confident she would win. Jessika was a little concerned Cyrell would be a cyclone in the ring.”
Markson, who manages both women post MAFS, added: “As all fans of the show know, they both hate each other which meant it would have been a real grudge match that would have generated tremendous pre publicity and high sales for home and pub watching. The fight would have brought a lot more female viewers and an audience that would not normally watch boxing.”
