Age is just a number is always a positive motto for us maturing types to maintain in life, but not one that always rings true in the world of boxing. However, last weekend, Erislandy Lara retained his WBA middleweight title in Texas at the ripe old age of 42, extending his current winning run to seven bouts. Another 42-year-old, Badou Jack, who is currently on a seven-win streak of his own, will have taken much heart from Lara’s display, as he aims to retain his WBC cruiserweight crown in Los Angeles. He locks horns with Noel Mikaelian for the second time in the space of seven months this Saturday.
When Jack and Mikaelian met in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh back in May, Sweden’s Jack clinched a narrow majority decision victory over his European rival. Despite Mikaelian throwing and landing more punches, two judges scored the contest 115-113 in Badou’s favour, while the other saw it as a 114-114 draw. It was a controversial result and one that made the German fighter and Don King Promotions push for this upcoming rematch.
Badou Jack has had a sensational career, winning world belts at three different weights and mixing it with some of the biggest stars in the business, such as Adonis Stevenson, Lucian Bute, and Anthony Dirrell. While Jack’s hunger for the game remains the same, he can’t maintain a blistering and unrelenting pace for the full twelve rounds these days. Instead, the Stockholm ‘Ripper’ must now pace himself, relying on his experience and boxing skills to choose the perfect moment to strike.

Jack knows that Mikaelian, seven years his junior, will be an even more dangerous foe the second time around. ‘Dark Horse’ only took the May fight on 3 weeks’ notice, as Jack’s original opponent, Ryan Rozicki, suffered a torn bicep during the build-up. Unlike Jack, who has won titles at super-middleweight, light heavyweight, and cruiserweight, Mikaelian is a natural cruiserweight, having fought in the same weight category since his debut in 2011. The German star racked up an impressive 22-0 record in the first five years of his pro career (2011-2016). Despite losing three times since, he wasn’t disgraced in any of those encounters. All went the full distance, with two of the three bouts resulting in mixed or split decisions.
It’s set to be a thrilling night in the City of Angels, so let GOAL give you all the vital information you need ahead of the Badou Jack vs Noel Mikaelian II, including details of the fight card and how you can watch and stream all the live action.
