Lamar Odom is getting a slight upgrade in competition for his next celebrity boxing bout.
The two-time NBA champion is reportedly set to fight two-time world heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe at James L. Knight Arena in Miami on Oct. 2, Celebrity Boxing founder Damon Feldman told TMZ Sports.
This marks Odom’s second high-profile venture into celebrity boxing following his exhibition bout with pop star Aaron Carter in June. The 6-foot-10 Odom easily dispatched of Carter, winning by second-round knockout in a contest that played out in as bizarre a fashion as expected. Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell served as a special guest referee for the fight.
