The opponent for Lamar Odom's upcoming Celebrity Boxing match has been announced.
The two-time NBA champion, 41, will square off against singer Aaron Carter, 33, in a three-round exhibition match on June 12 at the Showboat Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Celebrity Boxing CEO Damon Feldman told TMZ Sports.
At 6-foot-10, Odom has a significant height advantage over the 6-foot Carter, but Feldman expects both men to put up a good fight.
"It's gonna be a showdown, man," Feldman said. "Both (are) fighters, but Aaron has boxing experience. Lamar's an athlete and it just has potential to be one of the biggest celebrity fights of all time."
