Duel Arena recently announced that former WWE NXT star Patrick Clark, known as The Velveteen Dream, will make his boxing debut against Pillow Talk podcast host Ryan Pownall. This event will take place on Saturday, August 29th, at the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida.
Clark was a contestant on the 2015 season of WWE Tough Enough and subsequently signed with NXT. He adopted the ring persona of Velveteen Dream in 2017 and went on to win the NXT North American Championship during his time in the promotion.
In 2020, he faced accusations of sending inappropriate images and grooming underage fans, which he denied. Following these allegations, he was released from WWE in May 2021.
