Former professional NBA star Lamar Odom may not be returning to the league, but he is proving that he is still an all around athlete.  He just inked a deal with Celebrity Boxing, which will put him in the boxing ring on June 12th at the Showboat Casino in Atlantic City, NJ.

Although he doesn’t currently have an opponent, Celebrity Boxing creator Damon Feldman says that he is working on a big celebrity name to go against Lamar Odom.

The 6’10” basketball player has limited boxing experience but is reportedly training with former heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko.

In an Instagram post CB asked fans who should Lamar Odom fight, they wrote,

Here are a few suggestions from fans who they think would make a great opponent for Lamar Odom:

“As most of you have heard, the Big3 decided to deactivate me for the remainder of the 2019 season. I respect Ice Cube & the other league executives, however, I am extremely disappointed with the way that this has been handled. Besides the embarrassment, it’s disappointing to read on IG that this decision had been made, especially without sharing it with myself or my manager.”

Lamar Odom also called out all of his naysayers who believed the 2-time NBA Champion’s career as a professional athlete might be over. In a post he shared a photo of a practice scrimmage while addressing his critics on Instagram writing,

“To all the people that are thinking I’m done playing: I AM NOT. That thought itself breaks my heart.”
