Former heavyweight champion George Foreman has challenged big-screen tough guy Steven Seagal to a real-life fight.
The 68-year-old Foreman posted a picture of the 65-year-old Seagal on Twitter on Monday, writing: “I challenge you One on one, I use boxing you can use whatever. 10 rounds in Vegas.”
When fans asked Foreman on Twitter why he wanted to fight Seagal, Foreman replied that the martial artist “really can fight” and is big enough to defend himself. Foreman first won the heavyweight title in 1973 and again in 1994.
Foreman’s sudden urge to fight Seagal may come from his recent comments about NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem last week, calling the pregame protests “outrageous,” “a joke” and “disgusting.”
