: is this anything like celebrity death match?
NEW YORK (AP) -- Tonya Harding and Amy Fisher are getting ready to rumble.
The pugilistic divas will face off on "Celebrity Boxing," a Fox special scheduled to air March 13. The network is billing the bout as "the battle of the bad girls."
Also on the special, former "Brady Bunch" star Barry Williams will be pitted against Danny Bonaduce, once part of TV's "Partridge Family."
The network said the fights will be real, each lasting three rounds.
Harding gained notoriety when, in January 1994, the figure-skating champ was involved in a bungled plot hatched by her ex-husband to disable her Olympics rival Nancy Kerrigan. Harding pleaded guilty to conspiracy.
Amy Fisher made headlines as "the Long Island Lolita" when, as a teen-ager having an affair with auto mechanic Joey Buttafuoco, she shot and wounded his wife in 1992. Fisher served almost seven years in prison.
A third celebrity-boxing pairing has yet to be announced, Fox said.
