In a move to muster up the energy level, Odom and Carter stared each other down when they stood forward for more photos.

At 6ft10in, Odom is nine inches taller, but eight years older, than the former child star, who has claimed to have been training hard in the gym with trainer Xavier ‘Bad Pads’ Biggs.   

‘It’s gonna be a war, man,’ Feldman told TMZ in the lead up to Saturday’s presser. 

Both men have reportedly been ‘busting their a**es in the gym’ over the past few months and ‘taking the fight very seriously.’ 

Odom signed on for the match on January 20, while Carter inked his contract on November 29 with the hope of facing off against pop superstar Justin Bieber.

The two combatants have both faced drug addictions in their pasts, which were treated at rehabs in 2011/2017 and 2015, respectively.
