68-Year-Old Rep. Peter King Survives Two-Round Bout with 31-Year-Old Former Kickboxing Champ Rep. Peter King (R-NY) has survived a two-round bout in the ring with former kickboxing champion "Irish" Josh Foley. Newsday reports that the Long Island Republican squared off Saturday with Foley before a crowd of 400 in a Wantagh (WAHN'-tah) pub. No winner was declared. King is an avid boxing fan. He agreed to the fight to raise money for the business of his friend and trainer. The newspaper said the 68-year-old congressman held his own against his 31-year-old opponent. Foley is several inches shorter and about 50 pounds lighter than the 230-pound King. The congressman's fight had been criticized as an ethics violation by a watchdog group that says ethics rules prevent representatives from appearing to favor one business. King defended the fundraiser as appropriate. breitbart.com
