Oldest Men To Step Into The Ring

I knew Louis was ducking Johnson.

 

Saoul Mamby had a fight last year at age 61

 

dempsey took my guess

 

Probably not what you're looking for, Russell, but if you're looking for a laugh, there was an old man back in the 1930's by the name of Cpl William Jubb who, in his early 90's, participated in a few professional fights (all resulted in draws...BoxRec has one of them listed), and was also dubbed the whiskerweight champion during his boxing "career".

Saul Mamby takes the cake..... Yes, he fought a terrible opponent at age 60 to 61 years..... I suppose that counts, but that bout was more so a farce......:scaredas:

MR.BILL

 

Jem Mace was still going in his 60s, fighting for a veteran title, figuratively and indeed literally.

Indeed two months before his 59th birthday he fought for the English title, probably the third most important title of the era.

 

Australian Dexter Dunworth 53, is acknowledged by Guinness World Records as the world's oldest active boxer.

Dunworth has won nine of his 10 bouts in the US and boasts a 90 per cent victory-by-knockout rate. Boxing Records ranks him Australia's No. 6 cruiserweight, and among his collection of titles are the US Mid American and Arkansas belts.

 

Wow pretty impressive for 53 id say could be Holyfield in a few years time lol

 

Yeah, just needs a few more bouts.

He's trying to get a fight organised over here in his home country and they won't let him - apparently they consider him too old - fancy that!

 

Kenny Lane, former lightweight contender came back at 50 and had his last fight at 53.

 

Wasn't Duran 53 when he last stepped on the ring?

 

NO! Duran was age 50 for Camacho in 2001.........atsch
