Lamar Odom to fight Drake impersonator in celebrity boxing match

Lamar Odom is either having too much fun or he should consider getting a hobby.

If that hobby is more boxing, at the very least he'll be prepared for his fight against a man known as "Fake Drake."

This is real life, folks.

TMZ is reporting that Odom, an NBA champion, is stepping up to defend the honor of the real Drake.

Izzy Drake challenged Drake to a boxing match and if he won, the rapper would have to sign the impersonator to his brand, as well as give him $1 million. If Drake stood up and knocked the imposter down, Izzy would drop the act.

Drake is apparently not down to fight, but TMZ shared a video of Odom, who called Izzy Drake out.

"I hear this news that this fake lookalike wanna fight my man, Drake. My man don't really get his hands dirty, so I'm just going to step in the way, and I'm going to take that fight," Odom said.

It's worth noting that Odom is no amateur fighter, at least in the sense that he's stepped in the ring and caused some damage before.

He's beat Jennifer Lopez's ex-husband, Ojani Noa, in the ring, and also knocked out Aaron Carter in the first round of their matchup.
