It is no secret that Milwaukee Bucks star point guard Damian Lillard is a big boxing fan. During Lillard’s Formula Zero camp in Phoenix, he was even spotted showing off some of his boxing moves with Texas Legends assistant coach Kaleb Canales, who posted this on his Instagram account:
“Thank you @damianlillard @phil_beckner for the world class camp that is impacting our next generations of players…Formula Zero 2024

Lillard also acknowledged Canales’ message, as he responded to it via Instagram Stories.
“I’m in the center of the ring wit it,” wrote Lillard.

Of course, basketball is still the no. 1 sport for Lillard, but his passion for the sweet science seemingly never wavers.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Damian Lillard Truly Loves Boxing
Lillard’s interest in boxing is well-known. He often has a lot to say before, during, and after big fights. In an interview with Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated earlier in the year, Lillard admitted that a lot of his time is consumed by watching boxing fight videos.
“Bro, go to practice, go home, watch boxing, play video games,” Lillard told Mannix when asked about what he usually does in Milwaukee.”
“Man, I type in [boxing website] FightHype on YouTube 100 times and be praying for something new to be on there. Seriously, I don’t have much of a life. But that’s what comes with making a big boy decision. You got to be down for that and figure it out.
