Former New York Met and Philadelphia Phillie Lenny Dykstra really wants to get even with Jose Canseco.

Dykstra, a three-time all star, claims Canseco ruined his career and he'll now have a chance for redemption when the two square off in the boxing ring.

The fight, scheduled for Nov. 5 at the Avalon Hollywood in California, originally scheduled Canseco to fight White House party-crasher Tareq Salahi. However, a last-minute approval was made, allowing Dykstra to take Salahi's place.

"Canseco ruined my career by spreading lies. I called Tareq and begged him to let me take his place in the upcoming fight against Canseco," Dykstra said in a statement, according to Market Watch.

Alki David, founder and CEO of FilmOn.com, which will be streaming the fight live, made the approval.
