Odom is set to fight on June 12 at the Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City. He was asking for suggestions of celebrities to fight.

If they could line up someone from the Kardashian family, that would sell pretty well.

Celebrities fights may be a trend for the future after the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr. fight sold pretty well along with the Nate Robinson-Jake Paul fight.

Odom, 41, played in the NBA from 1999 to 2013. He was a two-time NBA champion and former Sixth Man of the Year. He recently played in the Big 3 basketball league, but he got dropped in 2019.
