Drama alert from “The Celebrity Traitors”! Former England rugby star Joe Marler is known for his bold personality both on and off the field, and he’s now a fan favourite for his candid approach. But life wasn’t always smooth sailing for the bombastic ex-prop. During his rugby career, Marler faced a few storms, including a notorious incident in 2020 that saw him banned for 10 weeks after an on-pitch scuffle with Alun Wyn Jones that sparked quite a buzz.
But wait, there’s more! Back in 2016, Marler stirred up controversy with Wales’ Samson Lee, drawing criticism with a harsh comment caught on the referee’s mic. This spat led to a brief suspension and a pretty hefty fine. Now, here’s the fun twist: Lee recently challenged Marler to step into the boxing ring for a charity match. Yes, you read that right—a showdown that has fans buzzing!
Marler admitted he initially dodged the unusual offer but seems to ponder the idea now that he’s hung up his rugby boots for good. Could we see him and Lee trading hits instead of tackles? Only time will tell.
What do you think? Would you root for Marler or Lee in a charity boxing match? Let us know in the comments below! 🥊🏉#CelebrityTraitors #RugbyLegends #BoxingChallenge
