Will Smith slapping Chris Rock in the face at the Oscars has taken the internet by storm, and one sports league is looking to take advantage of the incident. The slap-fighting league, SlapFIGHT Championship, has extended an offer to both Smith and Rock to host an exhibition match for the two to square off and essentially slap each other senseless. Per TMZ, SlapFIGHT Championship CEO JT Tilley is offering a “safe and controlled place” for the two A-list celebrities to finish what was started on the big stage on Sunday night.

“I made an offer,” Tilley said via TMZ. “I would love to host an exhibition match between them two and make it safe as possible.” He later added, “I would like to give them a chance to settle their differences.”
In a scene that was truly hard to believe, Will Smith strolled onto the stage during the Oscars and slapped Chris Rock square across the face after the comedian made a controversial joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Smith then proceeded to shout profanities at Rock from his seat, while the comedian slowly came to terms with what had just gone down.
There's clearly some animosity between the two, and now they've been offered the perfect platform to release some of their anger.
SlapFIGHT Championship was founded in 2017 in Branson, Missouri by its current CEO JT Tilley. Matches pit two competitors against each other who take turns slapping each other in the face until their opponent taps out, or is knocked out.
