Drita D'Avanzo Signs On to Officiate Farrah Abraham Boxing Match

"Mob Wives" star Drita D'Avanzo will get her chance to step into the ring with Farrah Abraham, only she won't to be allowed to throw any haymakers.
The Blast has learned D'Avanzo has signed on to be the referee in the upcoming boxing match between the former MTV "Teen Mom" star and Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander.
Celebrity Boxing promoters Damon Feldman and Samantha Goldberg tell The Blast as part of her deal, D'Avanzo agreed to follow all the rules, remain professional and in no way get involved with the fight.
As we previously reported, Farrah wanted the "Mob Wives" star banned from even attending the fight after the two went back and forth with threats. However, it appears D'Avanzo has calmed down, and even posted a video this week stating she wanted to officiate and promising to not cause trouble.
Our sources say after the reality star made the video, the celebrity boxing honchos felt she was being genuine and couldn't pass on the opportunity of allowing D'Avanzo to get involved.
We're told extra security will now be brought to the Showboat Atlantic City on November 10 to make sure order is kept and nobody gets out of hand.
We're also told Farrah was informed D'Avanzo would be playing a part in the event, but it's unclear if she knows her nemesis will now be within jabbing distance.
D'Avanzo will be tasked with calling a fair fight, and organizers believe she's up to the challenge. As we reported, DJ Skribble will also be involved as a ring announcer.
Both Farrah and Hoopz have been working their butts off lately, and now with D'Avanzo thrown into the mix it's anyones guess on what kind of madness goes down.
The fight will be broadcast live on FITE TV.
