JACK BLACK has challenged actor STEVEN SEAGAL to a fight in order to help him establish his credibility in the ring. The KING KONG actor stars as a Mexican wrestler in his new film NACHO LIBRE and feels fighting Seagal would help toughen-up his reputation. He explains, "I just felt like it might be good to prove my mettle if I could take down a real fighter.
"I could go and wrestle SCREECH (geeky SAVED BY THE BELL character) or something and that wouldn't get me any points, so I wanted to take down someone real.
"Steven Seagal he is a real trained fighter, but he has gained a lot of weight lately.
"Nacho versus Steven Seagal - that would be a really good publicity stunt!"
