It happened this Saturday at a celebrity combat event held in Miami, United States. The former NBA player won after three rounds
This weekend the city of Miami was the epicenter of a singular event that faced several North American celebrities on the ring. With the basic rules of boxing, but without weight restrictions by category, a group of celebrities prepared for months to fight between the ropes and show that despite not being experts in the field, they can put on a great show.
One of the most spectacular matches was that of Lamar Odom and Ojani Noa . The former NBA star who recently became one of the owners of Celeb Boxing , the company that organized the event, had promised to knock out his opponent. Although he could not carry out his mission, he was declared the winner after the three rounds were played.
The reality is that the former basketball player who shone in the Los Angeles Lakers used his 2.09 meters of height very well to always keep a good distance with the Cuban who he hit several punches to the body that wore him down.
Ojani Noa, 47, is a Cuban actor, producer, and model who married megastar Jennifer Lopez in 1997 while working as a waiter. The marriage did not work out and in less than a year they were divorced. Even a decade later they had several conflicts before the Justice for alleged breaches of contract on his part, because he wanted to publish a book telling stories about the singer.
For his part, Odom , who will now seek to continue fighting in these types of events that he organizes himself, knew how to shine in the NBA and even became champion with the Lakers in the 2009 and 2010 seasons. In October 2015, he was on the verge of death after being found unconscious in a brothel after having ingested a cocktail of drugs, viagra and alcohol that almost ended his life.
After his performance in the ring, which marked his second victory as an amateur, he was challenged by rapper Benzino, 56, who has already tried to fight Eminem, but has not succeeded. Several North American portals indicate that the duel between the artist and Odom could take place next year if both agree on the figures.
