53-year-old O Neal officially announced his appointment: Will Smith s former bodyguard will meet the celebrity boxing match

On August 25, according to the American media League Alerts, 53-year-old NBA legend O'Neal has officially agreed to hold a celebrity boxing match with Charles Alston, a well-known Philadelphia person and formerly a bodyguard of Will Smith.

This highly anticipated showdown originated from a video that went viral on social media. In the video, Alston publicly accused O'Neal of avoiding confrontation with him for many years and directly launching boxing challenges to the NBA legend.

Faced with the provocation, O'Neal quickly responded on the social platform, not only taking on the challenge with pleasure, but his tone was both humorous and hidden: "'Big Diesel Engine' (O'Neal's nickname) never hides from anyone. Just set the time and place, and I will definitely arrive on time. At that time, I will 'respond' your punch."

This upcoming boxing match is also surrounded by an old grudge that has been covered with for more than ten years. According to Alston's recollection, O'Neal tried to jump into the lineup during a signature event in Dallas more than a decade ago. At that time, he directly "hit O'Neal in the neck" and stopped the other party's behavior. Now, Alston and the head of the Celebrity Boxing League have recorded a video together, making this past happen again, which instantly sparked heated discussions across the Internet and completely put the conflict between the two on the stage.

At present, the specific time and venue of this showdown have not been announced to the public, but because O'Neal and Alston are both huge in size, the game has been classified as a "super heavyweight" showdown, with a very high topic. O'Neal is 2.16 meters tall and weighs about 147 kg, while Mike is 1.98 meters tall and weighs about 132 kg.
