English journalist and World Strip Poker Champion Jon Young has today thrown down a daring strip poker challenge to new James Bond star Daniel Craig.
Young is offering to play Craig in a game of high stakes poker for his World Strip Poker Champion crown – anytime, anyplace, anywhere the suave spook wishes.
”There is no higher stakes in poker than the shirt of a man's back,” mused Young. “Bond rates himself as a bit of a shark at the poker table but I want to prove it's all posturing and that underneath that glacially cool exterior lies a big scared-y cat who'll crap himself at the first sight of a real poker player.”
Young became the world's first Strip Poker Champion in London in August this year, beating 195 other hopefuls for the coveted title in the largest strip poker tournament the world has ever seen.
The budding Bond-beater wants to test his mettle against some of the coolest men on the planet. ”I'm so confident I can outplay these shadowy super-spies I'll let Connery, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan and Lazenby into the game too,” said Young. “I've even started working on my killer lines: ‘Do you expect me to raise? No, Mr Bond I expect you to fold!' and 'Will the Diamonds be Forever? I don't think so Mr.Bond!'”
