PARSIPPANY, NJ — In the ultimate holiday showdown, Santa Claus and The Grinch will be duking it out in a steel cage wrestling match this season.

The festive fight is organized by Independent Superstars of Pro Wrestling (ISPW), and will be held at the Police Athletic League (PAL) of Parsippany-Troy Hills on 33 Baldwin Road.
