Shaquille O’Neal<\/a> just agreed to a boxing match with a famous bodyguard … and his son tells TMZ Sports even though the legend might be a bit old for this kinda thing, he’ll support him nonetheless!!<\/p>\n

We spoke with Myles at LAX this week … fresh off Shaq’s response to Will Smith<\/a>‘s former security guy Charlie Mack, who challenged him to a celebrity boxing match.<\/p>\n

Myles, a DJ, was caught off guard by Shaq’s acceptance … especially since his dad is 53 years old. So, we asked if he was concerned … and his answer was exactly what you’d expect.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“I worry about him every day,” Myles said with a laugh.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know. A boxing match is kinda crazy, but you know I’m gonna be ringside. I’ll support. I’ll help train, stuff like that.”<\/p>\n

Shaq is no stranger to combat sports. Remember, he had a five-round exhibition match with Oscar De La Hoya<\/a> in 2009 … and went up against Shane Mosley<\/a> in 2010.<\/p>\n

He’s also appeared on AEW for a tag-team match in 2021. He and Jade Cargill went up against Cody Rhodes<\/a> and Red Velvet.<\/p>\n

While stepping into a ring isn’t new for Shaq, trading punches at 53 is a pretty wild side quest … but Myles made it clear he’s willing to help in any way!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shaq’s Son, Myles My Dad Boxing?! … ‘That’s Crazy!!!’ Published August 24, 2025 12:25 AM PDT Play video…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":91928,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,44,85,635,26898],"class_list":["post-91927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-tmz-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91927"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91927\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
