Dan Gross: Octomom seeks ring foe

June 16, 2011|By Dan Gross

WHEN Nadya Suleman, who already had six children, had eight embryos implanted through in-vitro fertilization, her biggest opponent was common sense.

Now Suleman, better known as Octomom, is seeking a female opponent to fight with cartoonishly oversized boxing gloves, and headgear, in a 3-minute bout being billed as a Celebrity Wrestling match June 29 at Pennant East (141 Crescent) in Bellmawr, N.J.

Tickets are $20 and on sale through webtix.net. The event can also be watched online at battlecam. com, says promoter - you guessed it - Damon Feldman.

Story continues below.

Suleman will take on any woman who is a nonprofessional or untrained boxer, Feldman says.

Interested candidates should email celebrityboxing@live.com.

Maybe Berks County's Kate Gosselin is up for a good, old-fashioned Battle of the Babymamas?
