LFA 15/AXS TV video: Richard Odoms wants to be a cop with a heavyweight title

LFA’s inaugural heavyweight title is on the line tonight, and by night’s end the belt could be held by a cop.

Richard Odoms is a police officer, and would like nothing more than to do his ranks proud with a major piece of hardware. The 42-year-old Odoms (12-3) meets Jared Vanderaa (5-0) in the LFA 15 main event tonight at Firelake Arena in Shawnee, Okla. The main card airs on AXS TV.

Ahead of the fight, AXS TV’s Phoenix Carnevale caught up with Odoms to talk about being a cop and a fighter at the same time, being 17 years older than his 25-year-old opponent, and what it would mean to have LFA’s first heavyweight belt.

Check out the video above to hear from Odoms, and don’t miss Carnevale’s interview with Vanderaa in the video below.
