Federline's wrestling challenge

(BANG) - Kevin Federline is going to fight the World Wrestling Entertainment champion John Cena on New Year's Day - and is confident he will win.

The fledgling rapper - who was body slammed in a staged fight against Cena in October - says he will be victorious when he faces the WWE superstar in Miami on January 1.

Britney Spears' estranged husband said: "The real Kevin Federline never backs down from a challenge. Make all your jokes, because New Year's Day I'm the one who is going to be laughing. Oh yeah, Cena, my name is not K-Fed, it's Kevin Federline, b***h, and I want some and I'm gonna get some."

Federline, 28, took part in some staged WWE fights this autumn and visited Washington DC's Verizon Center to watch a wrestling match on Monday night (18.12.06).

He made his bragging statements to the Washington DC crowd as he promoted his upcoming fight.

Champion Cena is 6ft 11ins and 240lbs.
