Michael Lohan isn't the type to back down from a fight. The estranged father of actress Lindsay Lohan has publicly feuded with the actress, her girlfriend Samantha Ronson and her mother Dina Lohan.

For his next battle, Lohan will use his fists rather than his mouth: He's auctioning off the chance to knock him out in a charity boxing match on November 24 at the Hilton Long Island in Melville, New York.

Bidding to challenge Lohan begins at $US5,000. Proceeds will go to charities including the Long Island Community Chest, which provides financial support to needy families.

Jeff Cohen, an organiser for the event, said he expects a big turnout.

"Anybody who jumps into the ring with Michael Lohan will become famous," Cohen said. "Maybe you'll get one of Lindsay Lohan's ex-boyfriends who'll try and impress Lindsay by beating up her father. Who knows? ... You might get Samantha Ronson trying to put a bid in there."
