Shaquille O’Neal has accepted an invitation to spar with music industry veteran (and Will Smith’s former bodyguard) Charlie Mack inside the boxing ring. In an Instagram video, the 53-year-old O’Neal said he will meet Mack, who is also reported to be in his 50s, at a time and place of Mack’s choosing. The two have a longstanding rivalry, with Mack claiming he once “chopped [O’Neal] in his neck” during an autograph signing in Dallas. Mack shared a fight poster on Tuesday, indicating the two are working to finalize the details of the match. This comes over a year after O’Neal publicly feuded with former ESPN analyst Shannon Sharpe, culminating in O’Neal releasing a diss track against him. (People)
