Elon Musk announced earlier this year that he and 39-year-old Mark Zuckerberg, who heads the Meta platform group that includes Facebook, are preparing for a charity cage fight. Musk revealed that the game will be broadcast live on X, with proceeds going to a veterans’ charity.
The match was originally planned to take place in Las Vegas, but according to recent information, the Coliseum was also considered as a possible venue. The Italian Minister of Culture allegedly sought the Meta leader to organize a wrestling match in the legendary amphitheater, he writes daily Mail.
The news was also confirmed by Dana White, one of the leading figures in MMA, who himself is negotiating with the Italian ministers on this issue.
We talked about the Colosseum as a possible venue and I actually had a meeting with the team of the Minister of Culture in Italy about what if we could do it there.
White said.
Another issue is that the Italian Ministry of Culture denied it for a politiciansaying that maintenance will begin soon on the Colosseum.
They are preparing for the duel
In June, Elon Musk tweeted that he’d be open to a cage fight with Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, who responded by writing, “Specify the place!”
At the time, no one took seriously that the match would take place, but since then Musk and Zuckerberg have continued to fight each other on the digital front.
The Facebook leader already participates in several MMA training sessions per week.
