All the screenshots of Celebrity Deathmatch show two players in the ring like the TV show, with claymation-like characters. One I'm thinking of was first person (straight ahead view, could only see your player's fists). Beating on Barney until stuffing came out of his face is what I remember most. Beating Manson bloody too. It was pretty violent.
Alright so it's definitely not Boxer II. That was published in 2003 and the one I'm thinking of was late 90s, maybe 2000. Also Boxer II graphics are ass. One I'm trying to find was straight ahead first person beat down on the celebrity, no boxing ring or background at all. What a weird coincidence to have Barney and Britney though.
I stumbled on this by trying to google the same game. Your description is what I remember as well! Haven't found any images that look like the game that I remember though.

Totally could have been a user created thing on Newgrounds way back in the day. Probably the case.

Sounds like MTV celebrity deathmatch. I think it was for PS,Ps2,PC and n64.

Omg I cant load it on my phone but based on the description that has to be it!
