"Heres the real deal regarding the boxing match between myself and Benji Madden.Do I know @benjaminmadden ? Not really but the few times we have crossed paths at the gym he has always been cool. Do I really want to fight? More than you know because I really love boxing. I want to see what I can do. Yes Benji is a lot younger than I am. No matter just better get this done before I get older which leads me to my point. I agreed to do this match many months ago. I was told in October that the fight would be around the corner. It was then postponed until end of December. From day 1 I said lets get this done before NASCAR season starts. The date kept on getting pushed back. I would look forward to a date then another setback. I do not blame @jellismate for the delays. Its difficult to put an event on like this. Now Im told the date is APRIL 3 in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock. I would not be surprised if that coincides with a Good Charlotte tour or recording.
I say LETS DO THIS no more delays. I am so ready. April is a long ways away and I really believe that date wont happen either. When the match goes down I think many will be surprised its not going to be some stupid celebrity match. Both of us train in boxing and take it seriously.

I also want to say thanks for all of your support. Its really become divided. Old School vs New School. I got a few twitters from DMCA collective and a few Nick at Night gangs telling me how badly I was going to get beat. Then Ill get all these old school punks and metalheads backing me. It could not lend itself to a more perfect fight. The rich and famous vs the been there done that. I WILL WIN but even if I didnt I would be the winner because I get to get in the ring in front of people and Box. How cool is that.

Dec 19th its Riki vs the Meatl Mulisha in a stock car race at Tucson Raceway Park. Cary Hart is down with Benji. Perhaps Ill have to wear Metal Mulisha shorts in the ring......Hope this happens and thanks Ellis for putting on the event.
Oh by the way all you Good Charlotte fans (4 so far) that have written negative tweets about me. I Love it I never expected you to like me in the first place. Just as I never expected Suicidal Tendencies fans to like YOU !!!!
You cant bring me down VIVA OLD SCHOOL "
