Could this be another Fight of the Century? Legendary boxer George Foreman, the two-time heavyweight world champion and an Olympic gold medalist, has just offered a faceoff to Hollywood star Steven Seagal from his Twitter account.

Countless users are already anticipating a fascinating show, thrilled by the prospect of this unlikely bout. (But is it actually so unreal? We've already seen how Conor McGregor ended up after he challenged Floyd Mayweather, so who knows what this joke can lead to.)

Others wondered about the details of the fight, and what combat style Mr. Seagal should choose.
What form of combat should Steven Segal use against George Foreman?

Can Seagal use a sword? That's the only chance he has of winning.

Meanwhile, Seagal supporters insisted the fight would unfold in the opposite direction.

Several people couldn't help mocking the 65-years-old actor. One user even recalled the moment Seagal tried Belarus President Lukashenko's carrots while another one suggested he would hardly survive 10 rounds against the former boxer (who is 68, by the way).

He'll need help just to get off the stool for every round.
