UFC fighter Shane Young wagers $1,000 in ‘Call of Duty’ for COVID-19 aid

Shane Young may not be getting as much martial artist training under lockdown, but he is brushing up on his Call of Duty skills for a cause benefiting children impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.

Young (13-4) and fellow New Zealander, musician Lil Mussie, are wagering $1,000 each on 10 one-on-one rounds of Call of Duty this weekend. The loser will donate the money to Bread Charity, Mussie’s charity supporting Kiwi kids. Bread will work with Auckland police officials to identify children who are financially struggling in lockdown.

“It’s so important to give back to others, especially kids as they are our future,” Young said in a statement to Bloody Elbow provided by Mussie.
