Last month, former NBA star Lamar Odom announced that signed a deal with Celebrity Boxing Entertainment and will be engaging in a boxing match on June 12 at the Showboat Casino in Atlantic City.
At the time of his announcement, Celebrity Boxing creator and CEO Damon Feldman said Odom will be matched against another big-name celebrity. However, it wasn’t shared who the 41-year-old would go up against until now.

According to an update by TMZ, the 6-foot, 10-inch tall athlete will be hitting the ring with 33-year-old, 6’1 singer Aaron Carter. Aaron appears to be pretty confident as he tells TMZ Sports he “grew up street fighting” and he’s ready for the challenge.
Both men have been going hard in the gym and they’re taking the fight very seriously, according to the news site. Feldman, who’s been behind several celebrity boxing events over the years believes this fight has real potential to be the best one yet.
