‘I get to go toe-to-toe in the ring. It’s nothing personal. It’s me or you. And it’s definitely not going to be me. Not in front of all these people,’ he wrote.
Ciarran let his fans know he would be raising money for domestic violence against women and men’s mental health.
‘Let’s make the best out of a bad situation. Thank you to @teamellisboxing for giving us this opportunity to raise money and settle our differences.’
Ready for it: ‘I get to go toe-to-toe in the ring. It’s nothing personal. It’s me or you. And it’s definitely not going to be me. Not in front of all these people,’ Ciarran wrote under the poster
He finished with a warning to Matt: ‘A good edit won’t save you here lad.’
Ciarran and Matt have had a number of feuds while appearing on Bachelor in Paradise together. He slammed Matt for his ‘hypocrisy’ on-and-off the screen.
Ciarran believes that while he has ‘owned up’ to his behaviour on the show, Matt was ‘hypocritical’ to shame him following reports the BMX stunt rider had also romanced multiple women in short succession since leaving Paradise.

‘You can’t do one thing on TV and act the opposite off screen. That’s hypocritical,’ Ciarran said in a series of Instagram Stories this month.
Ciarran romanced three ladies in succession on Bachelor In Paradise – Abbie Chatfield, then Jessica Brody and Kiki Morris.
‘I own my actions and how they were portrayed on the show. I just want to call out the hypocrisy shown by Matt during and after the show. Matt came on with the full intention of getting with Renee [Ciarran’s ex] and calling to light all my past indiscretions in front of the camera.
‘I own my actions’: Ciarran claimed he ‘copped heat’ for romancing different women in succession, and said it appeared Matt was being ‘hypocritical’ given recent reports
‘However, when the show has stopped filming he goes and gets with different girls and wants to say that he is a genuine guy because he got a great edit on the show.’
Ciarran then directed people to listen to single mother Cheyenne O’Leary ‘spill the tea’ on her 2019 fling with Matt on the So Dramatic podcast.
Matt has strongly denied cheating on his ex-girlfriend Renee Barrett, saying he may ‘suck at relationships’ but he didn’t betray her trust.

In a lengthy Instagram post, the 28-year-old professional BMX rider insisted that he did not start dating single mother Cheyenne – whom he has since split from – until after he’d ended things with Renee in late December.
He added that he meant every word he said to Renee, 26, during the season finale, and dismissed the people accusing him of infidelity as fame-hungry wannabes.
‘This guy you see on your TV is 100 per cent me. I can’t believe I’m having to defend myself against some click-bait media and people wanting their five minutes of fame, because we finished a show and we are their free ride to self promotion,’ Matt said.

He continued: ‘I did not kiss, sleep with or have any relationship with anyone while I was still with Renee or while I’ve been with any other girl for that matter… I am the genuine guy you saw on your TV screen.’
It comes after Renee revealed on the So Dramatic! podcast that Matt had brutally dumped her via text message in late December – just weeks after they left Fiji as a couple to pursue a long-distance relationship.
New flame: Renee also alleged that within days of dumping her, Matt had already moved on with single mother Cheyenne O’Leary (pictured)
