Earlier this year we reported that a potential MMA bout between poker pros Sorel "zangbezan24" Mizzi and Luke "lb6121" Schwartz was in the offing. However, it seems that when it came to the crunch, Schwartz decided he wasn't prepared to put in the time and effort to make the fight a reality. However, it would now appear that Mizzi will get his fight in 2015 after all, albeit with a different opponent as he recently announced on twitter that on December 30th he will box Brian "tsarrast" Rast in Las Vegas, with all proceeds going to REG (Raising for Effective Giving) charity.

According to the eventbrite page for the fight, the bout will take place on Wednesday 30th December at 6pm at Syndicate MMA Gym. It will consist of 4 x 2 minute rounds with tickets from $20, up to $80 for VIP, with all proceeds going to REG.

Both Mizzi and Rast announced the fight about two hours ago on their respective twitter pages:
