Earlier today, Covington tweeted that he would make James "eat the canvas" if they fought in a ring. Back in September, the welterweight champ trolled James while showing support for Donald Trump ahead of the election.
Reacting to Nate Robinson’s boxing loss to Jake Paul over the weekend, Covington added today that "current NBA players are the softest and most privileged athletes on the planet."
Despite James being one of the most gifted athletes in sports history, as well as having a massive size advantage over the UFC fighter (James 6-9, 250 vs. Covington 5-11, 170), the odds suggest this wouldn't be much of a fight.
SportsBetting.ag has made Covington a -2500 favorite, which is roughly the equivalent of a 20-point favorite in the NBA. James is a +800 underdog.
