Lamar Odom is throwing his name into the ring as a possible opponent for YouTube star-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
Odom, who's set to make his boxing debut in a match against singer Aaron Carter, told TMZ Sports he wants to avenge fellow former NBA player Nate Robinson by taking on Paul himself.
"After Aaron Carter, I would love to fight Jake Paul," Odom said. "For Nate Robinson."
Paul knocked out Robinson in the second round of their match in November and picked up another win against former UFC fighter Ben Askren last month.
Odom's bout against Carter is scheduled for June 12 at the Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
