Would you pay money to watch two Indiana politicians duke it out in a celebrity boxing match?
The mayor of Hammond is volunteering.
Mayor Tom McDermott, Jr., a Democrat, appeared on the “Left of Center” podcast Tuesday, and formally challenged Indiana Republican Senator Todd Young to a match at the Hammond Civic Center.
“He’s soft,” McDermott said. “He was a Marine. I’m not saying he’d be easy. I think he’s younger than me too…but I would freakin’ love to fight Todd Young in a celebrity boxing match.”
McDermott even suggested they make it less of a boxing match and more of a mixed-martial arts contest.
“Let’s throw a cage up,” he said. “I was a wrestler. I’ll bust out my old wrestling moves and mess him up.”
McDermott says the two politicians could raise $100,000 for charity for the fight.
He made the comments during the podcast after discussing the rumors that McDermott might be interested in running for Young’s seat in Senate.
