(JAN 2) WBAN found an interesting press release on the net earlier today, reporting that  Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has decided to enter the ring as the owner of a professional boxing team. The release stated the following:

Polizzi, one of the stars of MTV's reality show "Jersey Shore," is beginning a venture that seems more legit than the other we heard of recently: Dennis Rodman's topless women's basketball team.

Team Snooki Boxing includes three Irish brothers, Patrick “Pajo”, Eddie and Paul Hyland – all champions in their respective classes, according to NBC 10 Philadelphia.

The Hyland Brothers will headline a night of boxing at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City on Jan. 28.

“We are incredibly excited to introduce The Hyland Brothers and Team Snooki Boxing. We’ve seen what these boys can do, and expect nothing less than continued success and ‘living up to the hype’ for each of them here in the States,” Vice President of Final Round Promotions Mike Pascale said in a press release.

The “Jersey Shore” star says her new boxing team’s first fight will take place in Atlantic City at the end of January.

In a surprising announcement, “Jersey Shore” star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi told the world of her newest business venture…a boxing team.

Yup, we said it, a boxing team.

And although the pint-sized self-proclaimed Princess of Poughkeepsie can take a punch – think back to the New York teacher that laid one on Snooks back in 2009 – we’re fairly certain no one saw Snooki moving into the world of professional fighting.

Team Snooki Boxing will feature three Irish brothers, Patrick “Pajo”, Eddie and Paul Hyland – all champions in their respective classes.

The Hyland Brothers will headline a night of boxing at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City on Saturday, January 28, 2012.

“We are incredibly excited to introduce The Hyland Brothers and Team Snooki Boxing. We’ve seen what these boys can do, and expect nothing less than continued success and ‘living up to the hype’ for each of them here in the States,” Vice President of Final Round Promotions Mike Pascale said in a press release.

Tickets to the event are on sale now.
