Zab Judah: I’m Not Too Old, and I’m Not Yet Done

•Nov 27, 2013

Zab Judah is 36 years old now, no longer the young fighter who had made a young commentator named Max Kellerman so excited. But while he’s been fighting as a pro for nearly half of his life — debuting a month before his 19th birthday — the former 140-pound titleholder and 147-pound champion says he shouldn’t be considered so old that his career could soon be coming to a close. “As far as the age, my age is great,” Judah said on a Nov. 26 media conference call, part of the marketing effort for his Dec. 7 bout with Paulie Malignaggi at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Judah is 42-8 with 29 knockouts and 1 no contest; Malignaggi is 32-5 (7 KOs).
