PAULIE MALIGNAGGI was picked up by a security guard after a confrontation with TikTok star Corey B ahead of their exhibition.
Somehow, the former two-weight boxing champion is set to fight the comedian, whose real name is Corey Bonalewicz.
That is despite viral troll Corey B having never had a boxing match in his life.
The dreadful mismatch has been put together by Celebrity Boxing and set for October 10 in Miami, Florida
Also due to be on the card is NBA legend Lamar Odom, 41, who recently beat singer Aaron Carter, 33, in an equally bizarre bout.
Malignaggi, 40, clashed with Corey B, 33, while they were both ringside after the retired boxer had CHALK thrown at him.
And the pair kept up the circus act while on stage to promote their fight.
I saw his last six fights. Can I take him? He has one arm. It’ll be like fighting Captain Hook.
Corey B on Paulie Malignaggi
As they came head-to-head, Corey B appeared to slap Malignaggi, which prompted a furious reaction.
The New Yorker went after his rival but was picked up by a security guard, much like a petulant child might.
Malignaggi retired in March 2017 after losing to Britain’s Sam Eggington.
But five months later he was involved in a sparring feud with ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 33, after images and video were leaked.
It saw him feud with the Irishman, so much so that he fought McGregor’s training partner Artem Lobov, 34, in a bare-knuckle bout in July 2019.

Malignaggi lost and broke his right hand, and the injury was Corey B’s primary reason for taking the fight.
He told BoxingInsider: “I saw his last six fights. Can I take him? He has one arm. It’ll be like fighting Captain Hook.
“He’s taken a lot of punches. I’ve got all the footage on him and he has no footage on me so everything is in my favour.”
