Lamar Odom has survived tremendous amounts of adversity in his life, and he's all too familiar with putting up a fight.

Odom announced that he's signed a deal with Celebrity Boxing Entertainment and will be engaging in a boxing match June 12 at the Showboat Casino in Atlantic City.

Yea seems like a great idea to let the guy who nearly OD'd on **** pills & the bisexual suicidal singer to engage in a sport where they get hit in the head.

Old guys who've boxed & sane young &/or athletic cats is one thing. Crazy mfers WITHOUT boxing experience + all sorts of wonky life sh^t going on seems a bad idea.

Fook it doe. Imma watch. I've watched old ladies fighting over coupons in the grocery store parking lot.

I recall 'Too Tall Jones," and his professional career. Odom should reflect on how "Too Tall" fared before pursuing a boxing career.

6 strokes and 12 heart attacks? Couldn't even hack it in 3-on-3 basketball?

Yeah, boxing seems like a great idea Lamar.

What could go wrong?

"Odom has battled through years of substance abuse and survived a near-death experience due to a drug overdose at a Nevada brothel in 2015. Odom said he had six strokes and 12 heart attacks while he was in a coma.

“I have horrible memory loss,” Odom told People in a May 2019 interview. "And my long-term memory was affected as well. Athletically, my balance is poo. I was shocked how weak my body became."


Gonna be a great fight!

Yeah this isn't a good look for boxing as a sport. Wearing a body protector as a coach and getting hit hard to the chest/heart area f.cken hurts and stops you in your tracks. For a guy thats had 12 heart attacks, 1 clean punch to the chest could flat line him.

“I'm really excited. Who do you guys think I should fight?”: Danny DeVito.

Too Tall was attempting a real boxing career. I assume Lamar Odom will be fighting some guy from the music group Color Me Bad.
