Celebrity Boxing Match Features Steroid Users Jose Canseco and Danny Bonaduce
[January 23rd, 2009] by Millard Baker
Jose Canseco and Danny Bonaduce, both admitted anabolic steroid users in the past, are fighting each other in a celebrity boxing match organized by promoter Damon Feldman and available on internet pay-per-view on January 24, 2009. Former baseball player Jose Canseco was ridiculed after he was knocked out in a boxing match with former Philadelphia Eagles football player Vai Sikahema (”Fame game not over for scorned ex-slugger Canseco,” January 23).
“People want to see him get beat up,” Feldman said. “That’s what it’s all about.”
The exhibition takes place at an ice skating rink in Aston, Pa., and can be ordered on Internet pay-per-view. Vince Papale, the former Philadelphia Eagle who inspired the movie “Invincible,” is the guest referee. Recognizing the limited athleticism of the fighters, the bout features only three, 1-minute rounds. Against Sikahema last July, Canseco was flattened with a left hook 30 seconds into the fight and was finished after a few more punches.
There is a level playing field as far as performance-enhancing drugs are concerned as both Canseco and Bonaduce have experimented with steroids and/or HGH. But Canseco at 6-4 and 260 pounds dwarfs Bonaduce who is 5-6 and 180 pounds. The edge might go to Canseco, but anything could happen since Jose Canseco stopped using anabolic steroids last year.
