Watch out, Steven Seagal; George Foreman is getting all up in your grill.
Actor and martial artist Seagal, who last week made headlines for an interview in which the “Under Seige” star criticized NFL protests during the national anthem, has now been challenged to a fight by former heavyweight boxing champ Foreman.
In a tweet Monday, Foreman didn’t specifically mention the interview, but he was very clear on one thing: He’s ready to rumble with Seagal.
“Steven Seagal, I challenge you One on one, I use boxing you can use whatever. 10 rounds in Vegas,” Foreman wrote.
The boxing legend clarified, “No weapons. Hand to hand only.”
Foreman, 68, later indicated that the potential face-off with Seagal would probably be his final bout.
The boxer also insisted that there was “no anger” in his challenge to Seagal and even complimented the actor’s fighting skills, noting, “He really can fight.”
As of this writing, Seagal’s Twitter account is devoid of comment on the challenge, but c’mon — how could this not be a bigger draw than Mayweather vs. McGregor?
