Her generosity and humanitarian work align with the vision of Celebrity Fight Night and will inspire a successful night of fundraising for the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center and other great causes."

As well as being an honoree, the Jenny from the Block hitmaker will take to the stage to perform, alongside the likes of Steve Martin, Billy Ray Cyrus and Billy Crystal.

Country star Reba McEntire will host the Fight Night, which takes place in Phoenix on 23 March (13).
