Sounds like a terrible idea. You weigh 302lbs, haven't trained in 2 years, have been back 2 weeks and you are sparring. If I were in your position I would be at it for at least a month before I sparred again, and 2-3 months before I thought about fighting again.

Theres nothing wrong with a light spar is there. It will get your fitness up.
