Two days after Justin Bieber challenged Tom Cruise to a fight in the Octagon, Tacoma fight promoter Brian Halquist told KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson that he wants to host the fight at the Tacoma Dome, with Dori as one of the ring announcers.
Hallquist said that he plans to get in touch with the agents of both Bieber and Cruise to offer his talents for the big match.
“When we’re done with this phone call, I’m calling both their agents — I’m serious,” Hallquist said. “I’ll try to put it together, absolutely.”
Dori came up with the perfect name for the fight — “Cruisin’ for a Bieber-uisin.'”
“You have to have a name to really make it jump out of all the noise,” Dori said.
So who does Halquist think will win in The Bieb versus Maverick?
“Tom Cruise, even though he’s older, he’s got the edge in this fight,” he said, pointing out the actor has a strong high school wrestling background. “But it could be a toe-to-toe great fight.”
