Brad Pitt is competing for the Beijing Olympics Boxing Tournament

Brad Pitt at the Olympic Games

Brad Pitt will box today, 13th August 2008, at the Beijing Olympic Games. Pitt will fight against the Moroccan boxer Mohammed Arjaqui.

Well if you still think, that the Fight Club actor has left Angelina alone with the twins and traveled to China to fight for the Olympic Boxing Tournament, you can forget the idea.

Brad Pitt will fight today indeed, but I am talking about an Australian boxer that has an identical name with the Hollywood celebrity. The boxer Pitt confused the Olympic Games organisers, who expected the real Brad to arrive in Beijing.

'I am the real Brad', joked the 26-year-old boxer, who is known rather because his name than his actual boxing performances.

Brad Pitt announces that he is ready to win a medal at the Summer Olympic Games. He trained in Thailand to accommodate with the Asian atmosphere. Pitt wants to become Olympic Champion and become at least half as popular as the superstar celebrity.

The Australian boxer is 1,82 meters tall and weights 88 kilograms. He has 3 boxing title championships won Oceania. Pitt firstly earned his money as a house painter. He combined boxing with football until 2005, when he won the national boxing title. In 2005 he decided to stick with boxing and become an Olympic champion.

Watch live Olympic games to see if Brad Pitt will accomplish his dream.
