KanyiDaily had reported how the actor slapped the comedian for making jokes about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith while presenting awards at the 2022 Oscars.

Kenny, who has been vocal in his attack against Smith for slapping his brother at the Academy Awards, is ready to get physical in return.

According to TMZ, Kenny just signed a boxing deal with the founder of Celebrity Boxing, Damon Feldman, and is keen on fighting Smith as an opponent.

Kenny’s boxing deal includes a scheduled match slated to hold on June 11 at the Charles F. Dodge City Center in Pembroke Pines, Florida.

It is understood that the Kenny is yet to get an opponent for the match but the 43-year-old remains confident of defeating Smith despite the size difference of the actor being taller with some boxing experience while training for his role as Muhammad Ali.

KanyiDaily recalls that Will Smith had publicly apologized twice for slapping Chris Rock, resigned from the Oscars, and had recently received a ten-year ban from the Academy awards show.
