Chuck Liddell Considers Boxing Match Against Shaq

2026-06-24 · Chuck Liddell · Player Focus

Chuck Liddell is open to a boxing match against Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley.

Liddell was asked on SiriusXM's "Unlocking the Cage" with Jimmy Smith about potential celebrity boxing matches.

He agreed that Shaq would be a fun opponent, given his large size.

Liddell noted that Shaq is one of the few guys who stands out for his height, making for an interesting match.

And Liddell has experience with big guys, but Shaq is unique.

Liddell also mentioned Charles Barkley as a potential opponent, recalling a past golf tournament where he beat Barkley.

He pulled out in the last hole and still managed to win.

Liddell last fought in December 2018, losing to Tito Ortiz via first-round knockout.

He is set to referee a boxing match between Lamar Odom and Aaron Carter on Friday night.

The 51-year-old Liddell seems to be exploring new opportunities in the boxing world.

So, a match against Shaq or Barkley could be an exciting development for fans.

Liddell's experience in the UFC could give him an edge in a boxing match.

But it's unclear if either Shaq or Barkley would be interested in a match against Liddell.

Liddell's past fight against Tito Ortiz ended in a loss, with Ortiz winning via knockout in the first round.

The fight took place on December 8, 2018, and was Liddell's last professional fight to date.
