'Celebrity Boxing 2'

Next Wednesday, Fox comes out swinging with “Celebrity Boxing 2,” and topping the list of colorful characters on the fight card is the infamous Long Island lothario, Joey Buttafuoco.

Joey was supposed to fight the man who suffered the “un-kindest cut of all” - John Wayne Bobbitt - but he got cut from the lineup last minute after an arrest for allegedly battering his new bride. But Buttafuoco thinks Bobbitt chickened out.

So now, Joey will take on Joanie Laurer, best known as the buff and beautiful professional female wrestler, Chyna.

In another featured fight, Ron Palillo, better known as Horshack from the 70's sitcom "Welcome Back, Kotter" takes on Dustin Diamond, who you might remember as Screech from "Saved By The Bell."

And in a battle of big time athletes, 7’7” former NBA star Manute Bol will test his wingspan against the 375-pound former Chicago Bear William “The Refrigerator” Perry. Manute plans to donate his winnings to his homeland, Sudan. He says, “I want to do this for my people.”

And gold medal Olympian gymnast Olga Korbut is taking on Darva Conger of "Who Wants To Marry A Multi-Millionaire" fame.

See who survives “Celebrity Boxing” round two next week on Fox.
