LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith might step into the boxing ring to settle their beef. The NBA star and ESPN pundit have been going at it for weeks, and now there's talk of them throwing actual punches.
It all kicked off at a Lakers-Knicks game where LeBron and Stephen A. got into it. We don't know exactly what was said, but it was heated enough to spark a full-on feud.
Stephen A. didn't hold back on his podcast after the incident. He called LeBron "full of it" and a "liar." He even claimed he "would've swung on him immediately" if LeBron had gotten physical. That's some big talk from the loudmouth ESPN pundit.
Now, Damon Feldman, known for setting up celebrity fights, wants to make this showdown happen. TMZ Sports reports he's reaching out to Saudi investors to fund the bout. It's a wild idea that could bring the boxing and NBA worlds crashing together.
Jake Paul's name has also come up as a potential organizer. But there's a snag - Turki Alalshikh, who runs boxing in Saudi Arabia, can't stand Jake. That could throw a wrench in the works if Saudi money gets involved.
Will LeBron and Stephen A. actually lace up the gloves? It's too early to say. But with genuine anger on both sides, don't rule anything out. This feud has already given us plenty of verbal jabs. We'll have to wait and see if it leads to the real thing.
