Jack Johnson was 53 in his last fight, one he won by KO. Holmes was 52 in the Butterbean fight. Hopkins was 49 vs Kovalev. Foreman was 48 in the Briggs fight. Archie Moore was 46 in his last fight. Can't think of any more. 63 is damn old to be getting in the ring.

This doesn't sound safe.

I won't be watching this, still cringing over Mickey Rourkes comeback fight.

He was no George Foreman.

he fought Tony Tubbs & trevor Berbick in the early 80s. Would that make him the oldest HW ever to fight? Ruddock is fighting eric barrack at 51 but 63 is insane...

I dunno...but I'm not gonna' offer to carry his groceries.
