He's quietly become one of the most dominant athletes on the planet -- but now Gennady Golovkin is finally cashing in outside the ring with HUGE endorsement deals, TMZ Sports has learned.

In fact, Gennady recently got into business with Apple and was just featured in a commercial for the Apple watch. According to his rep, it's the beginning of a growing relationship.

"It's an ongoing deal. They shot him for about 5 1/2 hours. They have a lot more content to come."

But Apple seems to be just the beginning for Gennady, whose stock has SKYROCKETED over the past year as he's knocked out opponent after opponent on his way to a 34-0 record.

Lamar Odom was snorting cocaine and popping mystery pills at Love Ranch before he fell into unconsciousness ... this according to police interviews with the prostitutes at the brothel.

TMZ Sports has obtained the search warrant police obtained to take blood from Odom at the Nevada hospital where he was receiving treatment.

According to the detective who signed the affidavit for the warrant, he interviewed the prostitutes who were with Lamar, who told him, "He possibly ingested cocaine in the bathroom adjoining in the bedroom." The detective said, "They indicated that they heard him snorting."

Police also interviewed Odom's personal assistant at the hospital, who said he knew Lamar and other celebrities did drugs. The assistant added he had actually witnessed Odom under the influence of narcotics.

As for the pills, investigators say witnesses saw Odom taking an "unknown substance in the form of an unidentified pill, which he obtained from his pocket in a plastic bag that was unmarked."

The pills were not identified -- but it seems unlikely they were the sexual enhancement pills Odom had taken since those came in a marked blister package that were sold at the Ranch.

The detective says in his affidavit they need a blood sample because Odom showed symptoms of an OD ... white substance coming from his mouth as well as bleeding from his nose.

As TMZ reported, our sources say doctors performed blood tests that revealed the presence of cocaine.

The police have not received the results back from the blood sample they took from Lamar, but the Sheriff has said if it shows the presence of cocaine, he could well be prosecuted.

Ex-NFL superstar Irving Fryar didn't look too happy when he posed for his mug shot to begin his 5 year prison sentence ... after he was convicted of running a mortgage fraud scheme earlier this month.

After he was sentenced on October 2nd, the 53-year-old was taken into custody and eventually wound up at the Central Reception and Assignment Facility in Trenton, NJ ... where he took this mug shot.

As we previously reported, Fryar and his mother were found guilty of conspiring to defraud banks out of more than $1.2 MILLION through a home equity loan scam.

His 74-year-old mom was sentenced to 3 years probation -- in part, because of her age.

Vin Diesel's 7-year-old daughter might soon be able to rip your arm out of its socket ... 'cause she's training with Ronda Rousey ... and Vin says he wants her to be a "BEAST."

Lamar Odom won Khloe Kardashian back by convincing her he would never do drugs again after hitting rock bottom.

Our sources tell us, Lamar told Khloe over the weekend he knew he cheated death, promising, "I am done with drugs." He also thanked her profusely for coming to Vegas and supporting him. He repeatedly told her that he loved her, and that was enough.

We're told Khloe made the decision right then to drop the divorce and nurse Lamar back to health.

TMZ broke the story ... Khloe's lawyer, Laura Wasser, went to court Wednesday and got the judge to dismiss the divorce case.

That all said, we're told not everyone in the Kardashian family thinks Khloe's decision is sound, because they've heard this from Lamar before.

A German soccer superstar is declaring war on a Chinese toy company -- claiming they ripped off his name and image to make a Nazi action figure ... but wait'll you hear the company's defense.

The man at the center of the controversy is Manchester United player Bastian Schweinsteiger -- who played on Team Germany's World Cup team last year ... he's a big deal.

He also looks A LOT like the WWII German Army Supply Duty toy named "Bastian" that's being hawked by Chinese toy company DiD.

Well, Bastian doesn't feel like imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ... when Hitler's involved ... so he's preparing to sue the company.

But a rep for DiD says it's all one big misunderstanding -- "We think that all Germans look like that. Bastian is also a very common name in Germany.”

Wow.

The DiD rep added, "It is a complete coincidence that the figure ‘Bastian’ looks like Schweinsteiger."

Adrien Broner has some solid advice for new parents -- PAY ATTENTION WHEN YOU'RE CHANGING DIAPERS ... or you could get peed on.

Broner knows what he's talking about ... the 26-year-old's wife gave birth to his 6th kid back in February.

So, when the boxing champ was leaving Warwick nightclub in Hollywood last night ... we asked for the most important piece of parental advice he could pass down ... and his answer's pretty funny.

It's the kind of celebration that would make Stone Cold Steve Austin proud -- the NY Mets turnin' up by chuggin' beer and raising a WWE-style championship belt after winning the NLCS!

Check out the video ... you can see stars like Jacob deGrom and Daniel Murphy bathing in suds in the Mets locker room moments after putting the Cubs out of their misery.

Even manager Terry Collins got in on the action -- poppin' champagne and spraying down the fans who made the trip to Wrigley.

Heath Shuler says he feels Robert Griffin's pain -- telling TMZ Sports he knows what it's like to be the QB of the future in Washington ... only to lose your job in the blink of an eye.

Of course, Shuler was supposed to save the Redskins when he was selected 3rd overall in the 1994 NFL Draft -- but lost his job to Gus Frerotte after not exactly living up to the expectations.

So, when Shuler was at Reagan National Airport yesterday, we asked about RG3 -- and he told us, "I know where he's coming from."

Khloe Kardashain may have had fun bankrolling a massive midnight fireworks display for her now ex-boyfriend James Harden, but a dog living nearby was allegedly so freaked out he'll never be the same, so the owner is now suing her.

James Ferguson, a Marina del Rey resident, filed the lawsuit in small claims court, claiming the explosions created "a disturbance that harmed our family and pet."

James was not specific -- whether the pooch now freaks out at loud noises or craps on the carpet -- but he clearly thinks the damage is severe, because he's suing for $7,500.

Khloe, Harden and a bunch of guests watched the fireworks show on a boat just outside Marina del Rey. Thousands of sleeping locals were not amused.

Good news: Boxing champ Adrien Broner scored a sweet cameo on "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta."

Bad News: You won't actually see it because Broner angrily stormed off set before cameras even starting rolling.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom have jointly gone to court to dismiss their divorce case, because they want to stay husband and wife ... TMZ has learned.

Khloe's lawyer Laura Wasser went before a judge Wednesday morning, asking a judge to withdraw the papers they both signed to end their marriage. The file was sitting in a pile waiting to be processed and signed by a judge.

The judge granted

and the file is now dead.

Khloe filed for divorce in December 2013, but sat on it for a year and a half because she tried to save her marriage by trying to get Lamar into rehab. She finally gave up this summer.

As we reported, Khloe privately vowed to be by Lamar's side during his recovery, which will take months, and a few days ago they both agreed to give their marriage another chance. They both signed the document Wasser presented to the judge, asking that the divorce case be dismissed.

Lamar signed Tuesday from his hospital bed -- Wasser signed on behalf of Khloe.

More bad news for James Harden ... he's back in the crosshairs of one of the most terrifying forces in the universe ... the feared "Lil B curse" ... and this time, it's even worse than before!!

You might remember ... Lil B hit Harden with his dreaded curse last season after accusing James of stealing his signature cooking dance and not crediting him for it.

So, you can imagine how PISSED the Based God was today when he was scrolling through Instagram and saw James posed a pic of himself doing the cooking dance again with no credit to Lil B!!!

To make matters worse, Harden added the caption, "7 days until the cook is back to work!"

Re-enter Lil B ... who tells us, "The Curse is officially back active."

"It's disgusting ... he's still in denial ... he will pay for the blatant disrespect and no honor to the originator. All he has to do is show love."

"Harden has gone too far this time."

This is one of the things that happens if you try to wish Siri a "Happy Back to the Future Day."

Ouch.

Of course, in 'BTTF2' the Cubbies won the World Series in 2015 -- and up until a few days ago, it seemed like there was a real chance life was going to imitate art.

But that was before CHI choked and lost the first 3 games of the NLCS to the Mets.

And now, as our friends at BSO pointed out ... Cubs fans can't even use their iPhones without a reminder their team sucks in the playoffs.

A witness who was at the Seahawks facility during Tuesday's crash says Fred Jackson was revving his engine at another driver before both cars rocketed down a 1 mile stretch ... leaving no doubt they were drag racing.

We spoke with Jason Hellervik -- an autograph seeker who was waiting for players at the facility when he saw Fred's black Corvette pull up to a stop sign next to a red Dodge Charger.

"They were both stopped at the same time, they both revved their engines and they both left without stopping," says Jason, who was with his buddies at the time ... "We were like what are these idiots doing?"

Hellervik says he was with 6 other guys at the time of the crash -- who all witnessed the apparent drag racing scene -- and none of them have been contacted by police. He says if contacted, he would definitely cooperate with investigators.

So your girlfriend just broke up with you in front of the WHOLE WORLD to get back with her estranged husband ... what do you do?

If you're James Harden ... TURN UP!!!
