Rodney King Slugs it Out With Cop

Famous police beating victim Rodney King got a chance to pummel a cop—and came out a winner, reports the New York Post. King, 44, won a three-round celebrity boxing match against retired Philly cop Simon Adouad on Pay-Per-View this weekend. He next faces former Oakland A's player Jose Conseco. King, who's become a reality TV star doing rehab with Dr. Drew, was beaten senseless 17 years ago by videotaped Los Angeles cops after he was pulled over for a traffic violation.

"I know some people will see the irony here," said King, who won a $3.8 million lawsuit after the beating.
