TONY DANZA - O'CONNELL BEATS DANZA IN SUMO SMACKDOWN

Movie star JERRY O'CONNELL and TONY DANZA got Memorial Day in America off to a fighting start yesterday morning (30MAY05) when they donned Sumo suits and challenged each other to a battle of the bulge.

KANGAROO JACK star O'Connell confessed to the TAXI star-turned-US chat show he had an unfair advantage as he had experience of battling in a fat suit.

He explained, "I did it in a bar with my brother, I was really drunk."

O'Connell won the battle when he knocked the chat show host over three times.

The fight was stopped when the two stars were giggling so much, they couldn't go on.
