In a recent Instagram video, Charlie Mack challenged Shaq to a fight.

 

“We were in Dallas doing an autograph signing, and (O’Neal) came and tried to jump in front of the line,” Mack said. “I chopped him in his neck so he could get back.’’

Shaq responded with a video of his own, accepting Charlie Mack’s challenge.

“Hey, it’s Celebrity Boxing and Charlie Mack. I accept. You did chop me in my neck, Charlie Mack. That’s why I talk so funny. Payback time. You name the time and place, I’ll be there. Diesel don’t run from nobody.”

 

 

It’s unclear if the fight will happen, but it wouldn’t be the first if it did. In 2010, Shaq fought professional boxer Shane Mosley. Shaq lost this exhibition fight, losing by unanimous decision.
