Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke (6-0-2, 4KOs) is looking to fight again. Rourke, who had a short boxing stint from 1991 to 1994, is looking at the possibility of coming back in the month of March.
Rourke made his return, at age 62, on Saturday night in Moscow, Russia. He faced 29-year-old (1-10, 1KOs) Elliot Seymour and scored a second round knockout.
The fight was more comedy than actual boxing, but there was some confusion as to whether or not the fight was fully sanctioned and counts on Rourke's official pro record.
The fight ended on a bodyshot, but it appeared that Rourke hit Seymour while he was down on the backside area. It made for a strange ending.
"Last month I talked a lot with the boxer Micky Ward, who is known for his punch to the liver. Usually the blow [takes out an] opponent. But I have learned to go to the left, so I don't miss," Rourke told Sportbox.
