Tonya Harding to Box? by Sue TL Fox

Tonya Harding, the befallen Ice Queen Princess is NOW going to duke it out with Amy “The-Teen-Who-Almost- Murdered-Her-Boyfriend’s-Wife” Fisher according to today’s editorial in USA Today.

These two are part of a one-hour March 13 special (9 p.m. ET/PT). This show will capitalize on stars who will don gloves and slug it out with little training for three two-minute rounds. Their equipment will consist of weighted gloves and protective headgear and very limited training prior to the show. Believe it or not, Harding ALMOST became a boxer in about the year 1998. Bob Jarvis told WBAN in 2001, that he had actually been in discussions with Tonya’s advisor about becoming a boxer, but that it never materialized. On this upcoming show, there will be a three-fight card with not only Harding and Fisher, but will also have Danny Bonaduce vs. Barry Williams, and a TBD bout to be announced. Silly, yes…..entertaining to the public….maybe.   Sue TL Fox 02/27/02

Updates after this Celebrity Boxing Show:

‘Celebrity Boxing’ is a Stiff

At the outset of Fox’s Celebrity Boxing Wednesday night, announcer Michael Buffer stood proudly in the middle of the ring and intoned with a straight face, “Ladies and gentlemen, please rise as we honor America…” To which America, collectively, replied: Uh, “honor”? It would have been a pretty bold statement, even if it hadn’t been immediately followed by Howie from Backstreet Boys doing a tuneless rendition of the national anthem with his sister.
