Video: King Gets in the Ring

A large crowd packed into Mulcahy's Pub and Concert Hall Saturday night to see Rep. Peter King, (R, Seaford), take part in an exhibition boxing match against New York kickboxing champion "Irish" Josh Foley. 

King, who represents Lindenhurst, and Foley, a Long Beach resident, duked it out in the ring for two rounds with no winner declared. To see highlights of the match, take a look through the Lindy Lens at the YouTube video above. 

The congressman prepped for his fight at Bellmore Kickboxing Academy. Officials with the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington questioned whether or not King's involvement in the Mulcahy's boxing event was a House of Representatives ethics violation.

The Seaford lawmaker responded by saying that his participation was just aimed at supporting local business.
