"Winner gets a new hairline" - Fans react hilariously to LeBron James vs. Stephen A. Smith boxing match rumor after former's "Taylor Swift" comment

The reports of a potential boxing matchup between LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith have garnered humorous reactions from combat sports fans online. While some backed Smith, others were amused by the news.

For context, James confronted Smith following Los Angeles Lakers' win over New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden earlier this month. This was due to the veteran analyst's prior criticism over the 40-year-old's son Bronny James' performance on the basketball court.

Given their conflict, an X user named @TheDunkCentral uploaded a clip of Smith's remarks on his confrontation with James, where the former said that he would have attacked James if he had touched him. The X user then uploaded the betting odds if they were to face off in a boxing match, claiming James was the favorite between the two.

Other fans wrote:
