Lamar Odom Signs Celebrity Boxing Contract

Lamar Odom is the latest former basketball player to sign up as a celebrity boxer.

Lamar inked a deal with Celebrity Boxing and is slated to fight June 12 at the Showboat Casino in Atlantic City, N.J., according to TMZ Sports. No opponent has yet been announced.

Lamar may want to spend all of his time preparing for his upcoming fight to avoid an embarrassing defeat.

Former NBA player Nate Robinson became the source of many a meme when he stepped into a boxing ring in November against YouTube star Jake Paul, only to be knocked out in the second round.
