Caitlyn Jenner Will Be Hosting A Celebrity Boxing Event

Well, Caitlyn Jenner has surprised us once again. This time, it’s in the world of sports, not track and field, but boxing.

The former Olympian is set to host a Celebrity Boxing and Bitcoin Rodney event in Florida, Page Six revealed.

“I am so excited, but on the other hand, I’m always excited,” Jenner said in a video obtained.

“I just signed on with Official Celebrity Boxing to host their June 11 event in Charles Dodge Center in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Stay tuned — more details as we get closer.”

Sources say that Celebrity Boxing hired the 72-year-old as a way to create a way for transgender athletes to participate in the sport.

There are speculations that the famed decathlete, who transitioned in 2015, is looking for a paycheck now that it has been confirmed that she will not partake in the Kardashians’ reported nine-figure deal with Hulu.

“I was there when this started from day one,” she said after news of her absence broke.

“I watched it grow. And doing the show for almost 20 seasons was one of the highlights of my life,” she added when speaking of the show, “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”

“To be able to work with my family for all those years, connect with the fans, it was incredible. Happy that it continues for my family.”

This won’t be Jenner’s first time participating in a boxing event, but it will be her first time hosting one. The retired athlete previously boxed in a 2009 charity match for the Dream Foundation that was aired on an episode of “KUWTK.”

She fought and beat bodyguard Mark Behar in the match. However, Behar later claimed the match was staged for the show.
