It’s been nearly 3 weeks since the infamous Academy Awards incident involving Will Smith and Chris Rock. However, the ghosts of Smith’s actions show no sign of dying. Recently, Chris Rock’s brother Kenny revealed that he wishes to enter into a celebrity boxing match with Will Smith.

Kenny Rock has signed a deal with the founder of Celebrity Boxing Damon Feldman. The fight is scheduled to take place in Florida this summer. However, his opponent has not yet been revealed.

Rock was talking to TMZ about his fight deal. In conversation, the reporter asked him if his brother and girlfriend should step in the ring.

He responded by saying, “No they shouldn’t, but I should get in the ring with Will Smith.”  

Smith had previously trained in boxing to play Muhammad Ali in a movie.

Talking about their height and skill difference, Rock was quick to add, “I’ll let the hands do the talking.”
