Lamar Odom Beats Jennifer Lopez’s Ex in Boxing Match!

Former NBA star Lamar Odom has become a boxing champion!

Saturday night at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, the basketball player defeated actor and producer Ojani Noa — who was married to Jennifer Lopez from 1997 to 1998 — by decision in a three-round Celebrity Boxing exhibition fight.

The “Khloé & Lamar” star had a significant height advantage over his opponent — 6'10", 230 pounds, and 82" reach vs. Noa’s 6'1", 200 pounds, and 74" reach.

Throughout the match, Odom used his length to keep Noa at a distance, preventing Noa from getting close enough to strike.

At the end of the night, in which the two competitors fought for all three rounds, Odom became the Celebrity Boxing World Heavyweight Championship!

Though Odom was originally scheduled to face 54-year-old former heavyweight boxing champion Riddick Bowe, organizers had concerns after ex-boxing heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield lost via first-round TKO to former UFC fighter Vitor Belfort at Triller Fight Club.

With this in mind, Celebrity Boxing founder Damon Feldman decided to replace Bowe with Noa.

Months earlier in June, Odom knocked out pop star Aaron Carter in the second round. His record stands at 2-0.

Earlier this month, Odom revealed that he isn’t just fighting for Celebrity Boxing, he’s a partial owner!
