He looks great for a 62 year old, body wise.

As far as the boxing? He looks like a 62 year old.

This will be another circus. There's a fight of his on youtube where his opponent takes a blatant dive and the crowd ain't impressed!

It should have been Castillo vs. Rourke!

All his fights looked fake to me...I'm sure this one will be staged in Hollywood fashion as well...1st round KO from a fathom punch with lots of getting up and falling down on the canvas from his opponent.

Translation-I am hyping Ruslan who is the main event...I took steroids to get in shape and im bored and want some more money

how come a 62 years old person is allowed to box??

His professional career was, i think, the last example of high profile, obviously staged fights taking place in boxing. End of an era.

It would be funny if the guy knocked him out.

There was this up and comer Richie Melito in the 90's who was lousy but had a great record because of fixed fights.

Apparently he was fighting Bert Cooper and the commission heard rumors Cooper was gonna take a dive and threatened legal action on him if he did.

Result. Cooper knocked Melito out in the 1st round.

Be funny if this happened to Rourke but the guy he's fighting is so bad he'd probably lose trying his best.
