It's official. The bookmakers have already released the odds for a potential boxing match between LeBron James and Isaiah Stewart. This development comes after the pair nearly came to blows during Sunday's fiery matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Detroit Pistons.
Unsurprisingly, LeBron has come in as an early favorite if these two were going to face each other in the boxing ring:

The Lakers superstar stands at 6-foot-9 and 250 lbs of pure muscle. On the other hand, Stewart is listed at 6-foot-8 and 250 lbs. While there is a bit of a disparity in the tale of the tape, both men are over the 200-pound mark, making this a heavyweight bout.
Stewart and LeBron have the same weight, but the Lakers star probably has a bit of a length advantage. You have to note, however, that the Pistons big man is 16 years the junior of James so endurance could be a factor in the fight. Nevertheless, LeBron is unlike any athlete we've ever seen and it wouldn't be surprising if he is able to match Stewart stamina-wise.
To be clear, this is all in good fun and there's no way possible LeBron will agree to fight Stewart in the boxing ring. As a matter of fact, the Lakers talisman reportedly reached out to Stewart after the game to try and apologize again for what was supposedly an inadvertent hit.
Sorry, boxing (and basketball) fans. For now, we can just keep on dreaming.
