Chris Rock's brother challenges Will Smith to a boxing match after Oscars slap
14.04.2022 - 19:45 / foxnews.com
Chris Rock's brother wants to duke it out with Will Smith after his viral slap of the comedian at the Oscars. Kenny Rock recently signed a deal with Celebrity Boxing founder Damon Feldman to fight this summer in Florida. Kenny has yet to be matched with an opponent, but when pressed by TMZ, he hinted that going face-to-face with Smith isn't a bad idea. "I should get in the ring with Will Smith," Kenny, Chris' younger brother, said, adding, "No ifs, ands or buts about it.
I'll let the hands do the talking." (Getty Images) Kenny was also questioned about how Chris is doing since the slap played out for millions on live television. "He's doing great. I haven't seen him, but we've talked," Kenny said.
The comedian's brother went on to assume that Chris likely hasn't accepted Smith's apology. "I doubt it very seriously," Kenny said, stressing that he actually hasn't discussed that with his brother yet. "I didn't want to bring it up," he added.
Kenny went on to say "we'll have to see" if the film Academy keeps its promise on banning Smith from the ceremony for 10 years. He suggested he's not sold on the Academy sticking to their plan. Last week, the Academy ruled that Smith is not allowed to attend the Oscars or any Academy events for 10 years.

"During our telecast, we did not

The slap was indeed mentioned, but it was just one of several topics brought up as the show once again turned to a Fox News parody to lead the episode.This week, it was another go at “Fox and Friends,” featuring hosts Steve Doocy (played by Alex Moffat), Ainsley Earhardt (Heidi Gardner) and Brian Kilmeade (Mikey Day). The hosts welcomed Clarence Thomas (Kenan Thompson) and wife Ginni Thomas (Kate McKinnon) — whose support of the January 6 attempted coup has become a lightning rod for scandal.
