Mark Wahlberg and Will Smith have portrayed real-life boxers in blockbuster bio-pics -- Wahlberg playing Mickey Ward in new film "The Fighter," and Smith playing Muhammad Ali in 2001's "Ali." Now, they may get to try on their boxing chops for real -- on each other.
Damon Feldman, CEO of Hollywood Boxing Federation, is offering each fighter $1 million to fight in a Feb. 26 fight in Las Vegas.
"This will be a great opportunity for both stars to fight in the Super Bowl of Hollywood boxing and to donate millions to their favorite charities. It would be a great event too. Can you imagine?"
According to Feldman, the idea is for the two to fight three one-minute rounds. A location for the proposed fight hasn't been determined.
"We don't think these two are going to rip each others heads off," Feldman said. "We're just hoping they get into the ring and have a little fun duking it out."
