With the continuing trend of celebrity boxing, there will always be promotions joining in to ride that wave and try to make some money. The “Official Celebrity Boxing” promotion that brought that horrible mismatch between Lamar Odom and Aaron Carter — who both have dealt with very serious health issues — hosted another event on Saturday night.
The initial main event was supposed to be Odom taking on Riddick Bowe, a 54-year-old retired boxer. Bowe, like Carter, declared bankruptcy several years ago. He also was clearly not healthy and fit enough to compete. After concerns and backlash on his training video that was released, the promotion scrapped the fight on the last minute, claiming that they were clueless and were “mislead” about Bowe’s health.
