Could you knock out Jose Canseco?

Will you be in the Miami area on Saturday afternoon? Got $50? Wanna fight Jose Canseco?

On June 27th in Fort Lauderdale, Canseco will fight a three-round bout against an opponent that affirmatively answers those three questions per Jose Lambiet of The Palm Beach Post.

Applications are being accepted at Dadeland Mall near Miami noon to 4 p.m. Saturday.

Part of the proceeds will go to the John Graziano Foundation. Graziano was severely injured in a street-racing accident in which Nick Bollea, son of Hulk Hogan, served 166 days in jail.

It appears that the main criteria to be selected is that you don't look like Danny Bonaduce, who Canseco fought in a celebrity boxing match in January.
“We’ll pick the person who we think won’t get hurt,” promoter Damon Feldman said. “Canseco’s a big guy.”
Between now and the June 27th fight, Canseco will make his mixed martial arts debut against the 7-foot-2 South Korean Choi Hong-man in Tokyo later this month.

After Hong-man (insert your own joke here) gets done with Canseco, I'd like to be the next to kick his ass. Luckily for him, I'm not in Miami.
