Shaquille O’Neal 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!!

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

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.

“I worry about him every day,” Myles said with a laugh.

“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.”

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

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

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!!
