Jose Canseco Wants to Fight Again

It's been awhile since we discussed what Jose Canseco has been up to here, so I figured that today would be just as good as any to bring you all up to date. When we last heard from Jose, he was busy getting ready for his appearance on Fox's "Moment of Truth," where he would rid himself of whatever dignity he had left for some cold hard cash.

Of course, a big reason he's so low on dignity at the moment is because not too long before his television appearance, he had it knocked out of him by Vai Sikahema in a celebrity boxing match. Well, it looks like Jose isn't content with getting his butt kicked in the ring just once. According to a radio report from Philadelphia's WWIP 610AM, Jose wants to get in the ring one more time.
Jose Canseco is planning to fight again. According to WIP Radio, Canseco is looking for an opponent to fight him in the Philadelphia area this January. Canseco was knocked out by former Philadelphia Eagle Vai Sikahema in a celebrity fight on July 12th in Atlantic City. Jose, an admitted steroid user, hit 462 home runs in 17 seasons for the A's, Red Sox, Rangers and others.
Of course, we still don't know who Canseco would fight in this bout. I don't think he'll want anything to do with Vai Sikahema at this point, but there has to be some other random mediocre athlete out there in search of a paycheck. Maybe he can talk Mark McGwire into fighting him, and we can see which one of the Bash Brothers did the most steroids.

Your suggestions, as always, are welcome in the comments.

Jose Canseco Gets Quickly 'Knocked Into Next Week' at Celebrity Boxing Match Saturday

Vai Sikahema didn't save the world on Saturday night, but he got the ball rolling, and that's pretty good for an average guy. And he did so by quickly destroying Jose Canseco in a "celebrity" boxing "match" that didn't last too particularly long and ended the same way it started, according to the New York Daily News: with a crowd of roughly 1,300 people booing, cursing and mocking the former baseball player for his steroid use.


In nearly less time than it takes to round the bases after one of his moon-shot homers, Jose Canseco was knocked out by former NFL return man Vai Sikahema in their celebrity boxing match that was equal parts "Saturday Night Fever" meets "Road House." How's this for star power - 1993 Phillies World Series goat Mitch Williams was ringside for the main event.

Asked after the fight if there were any surprises, Sikahema said, "That it didn't finish in the first 30 seconds."

Vai Sikahema Is Ready for Canseco

Man, what's it been, like nine days (scratch that, it's been about an hour) since we mentioned Jose Canseco on FanHouse? That's way too long for anybody to go without getting a fix of their favorite chemically enhanced slugger turned chemically enhanced author turned chemically enhance embarrassment boxer.

Thankfully Jose's upcoming opponent, former NFL kick returner Vai Sikahema, works for the local NBC affiliate in Philadelphia and he's allowing us all a glimpse into his preparation.



That is some good graphics work right there, though I have to echo Bugs & Cranks' David Chalk (where I found this video) in saying that they should have Rocky'd it up a little bit. Where's the footage of Sikahema running the stairs or punching slabs of frozen cow in a meat locker? That would have made the whole piece so much better.

Jose Canseco Wants to Fight Curt Schilling

It's been a while since FanHouse checked in on Jose Canseco (nearly a full week) and the circus that is his life. Last we heard from Jose, he was set to fight Vai Sikahema in a "celebrity" boxing event. Unfortunately, sacrificing Vai Sikahema to the god that is Jose Canseco is just not enough. Jose's blood lust can not be quenched with one mediocre kick returner from years past.

No, for Jose to truly be satisfied, he needs to fight somebody who can combine the nerd qualities of someone who blogs and plays online role-playing games, with the ability to strike out big league hitters. Who could ever meet such standards!?

From Ben Maller:
Retired steroid slugger Jose Canseco challenged Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling to a fight while appearing this morning on Angelo Cataldi's morning show on WIP in Philadelphia. Canseco also claimed the bloody sock that helped make Schilling famous was actually ketchup.

Jose Canseco Will Take On Vai Sikahema in the Fight of the Century

Just in case you weren't already aware of it, Jose Canseco is desperate for money. Canseco has admitted that he's lost his house and roughly $15 million in recent divorce settlements with his two ex-wives, and it's left his wallet pretty empty. That's why he's written two books, and why he's most recently been heard begging for somebody to challenge him to a fight in a "celebrity" boxing exhibition, even starting an email address for all comers to throw down the gauntlet.

Personally, I wasn't man enough to throw my name in the ring as one of Jose's possible opponents, but not because I'm terrified by Canseco (though I'm not saying he wouldn't kick my ass because he most definitely would). No, it's because I still have this troubling thing called dignity. Fortunately for Jose and the rest of the world, not everybody is like me. He's found his opponent, and it's former Philadelphia Eagles return specialist Vai Sikahema.
"I got Jose Canseco, the 'bad boy of baseball,' " ["celebrity" boxing promoter Damon] Feldman said in announcing the July 12 card at Bernie Robbins Stadium in Atlantic
If that's the main event, who the hell is on the undercard? Jaleel White vs. Dave Meggett? Dave Coulier vs. Sedale Threatt?

I'm not sure what, if any, kind of background Sikahema has in fighting, though I know he sucked in Tecmo Bowl. Canseco on the other hand says he's had over 20 years worth of experience in kung-fu, taekwondo, and Muay Thai (I think I ate there last week). What a fight this should be! Two men will enter, only one will leave with an over-sized novelty check.
