Lenny Dykstra to face 'Bagel Boss Guy' in boxing match
Former MLB outfielder Lenny Dykstra will be going toe-to-toe with "Bagel Boss Guy" in a celebrity boxing match next month.
TMZ Sports reports that the 56-year-old Dysktra signed a contract Friday to fight Chris Morgan, the man who went viral for his bagel-shop tirade about women on dating sites. The bout will take place Sept. 7 in Atlantic City, N.J.
