SIKAHEMA CLEARED TO FIGHT CANSECO

Former NFL player and current Philly sports anchor Vai Sikahema has received full medical clearance to enter the squared circle on July 12 for a boxing match against former juiced-up baseball player Jose Canseco.
“I’m healthy as a horse,” Sikahema said, presumably not referring to the one that broke its leg on the track at one of the Triple Crown races to which we pay hardly any attention.
Sikahema, at five-nine, 204 pounds, and 45 years of age, is seven inches shorter and 46 pounds lighter than Canseco, 44.
The estimated $5,000 payment to Sikahema for the fight will be donated to the wife of Philly police Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski, who was killed in the line of duty earlier this year.
Canseco is probably hoping for a bigger payday — perhaps something in the neighborhood of $335,236.23.
