Uwe Boll accepts first boxing challenge

The filmmaker responsible for our favorite game to cinema atrocities like Alone in Dark and BloodRayne is now going to fight Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka from Something Awful. Rich responded to the official press release, which challenged Boll's biggest critics to "put up or shut up" and appear in his next box office disaster, Postal, at the same time.

Boll intends to fly five of his harshest critics to Vancouver and put them up in hotel rooms before he dawns boxing gloves and fights them in a boxing ring. Who the hell is paying for all this? From the press release:

Notorious movie director Dr. Uwe Boll, most well known for his numerous film adaptations of video games, has extended a bizarre offer to his five harshest critics: fly out to Vancouver and face him in the boxing ring. During shooting for his upcoming film Postal, Boll will set aside two days to fight each detractor in a ten bout match. To determine who have been his most vitriolic nemeses, Boll is accepting self-nominations to info@boll-kg.de, which must be accompanied by proof of negative reviews or internet forum comments. Only critical comments from 2005 will be accepted, presumably to ensure that only longstanding critics, rather than those spurred on by this contest, are in the running.
