Why did Francois Botha look like a pensioner at 45?

I know some people just age horribly, but I mean, Parker looked like he pulled out someone from the local old folks home to have a fight. If I was a sanctioning body, I'd take one look at the guy and say no way.

I don't know, as you said, some people age poorly and he's one of them. He looks 10-15 years older than he is, which is certainly on the extreme end but it is what it is. His weight and hair don't help the appearance. If he lost weight and got a non-60yo haircut, he'd be fine-ish.

Well the white hair dont help. Being overweight don't help. Getting bashed up by Tyson, Moorer and Lewis don't help. And getting kicked in the head and body by the best of the K1 circuit would just about finish you off dont ya think? 🤔

Still though. Tyson/Botha was what...1999? So just under 20 years ago? And he looked way young there. So he'd have been...what...29/30? And he looked it.

It's just stunning to me how visually the guy has aged.

He's took a lot of beating since though, and not just in boxing. K1 is very wearing, and he's done some MMA too. It's like having three ex wives.
