Tonya Harding is boxing
Remember Olympic Ice Skater Tonya Harding, the one with the boyfriend who hired a guy to hit her fellow US skater (and competitor) Nancy Kerrigan in the knee with a metal bar? She's been spending the last few years as a professional boxer.
In 2002, she turned to boxing, and 15.5 million viewers tuned in to see her beat Bill Clinton accuser Paula Jones on "Celebrity Boxing." She has a 3-3 professional record but is unbeaten in a handful of celebrity bouts.
In the Lagoon match, the combatants will use 16-ounce gloves, wear headgear, and fight three one-minute rounds. "I'm going to knock her head off," says Drake. "I'm going to kick her butt."
"If you knock me down, I don't care, I'll get right up," says Harding. "I'm like the Energizer bunny. Usually the one who talks the loudest is the loser."
