Lamar Odom to Fight Former Heavyweight Champ Riddick Bowe

Lamar Odom is stepping back in the ring, this time the former NBA player is squaring up with a real boxer. Odom will face former Heavyweight Champ Riddick Bowe in a celebrity boxing event on Oct. 2 at the James L. Knight Center in downtown Miami.

“He’s been asking me to do this for a long time,” Feldman told ESPN. “We just didn’t know when and will it be safe.”

Xavier Biggs trained Odom for the bout against  Aaron Carter. Biggs said Odom’s foray into boxing has been good for the former basketball player’s focus and discipline.

“Lamar seems to be on a life redemption mission from everything he went through before,” Biggs told ESPN.

Anything that keeps Lamar away from drugs and alcohol is a positive.
