    This may sound strange, but Oliver McCall is youngster compared to this guy:

    Albert Howard Hughes Jr in fact has had his previous pro fight before Oliver McCall's debut (and McCall's career lasts for 34 years now).

    The veteran of Viethnam war has started his career in 1975, and on Dec 14 he has set the new record after stopping 0-7 opponent in 2 rounds.

    Here's an article about 70 y.o. pro boxer.

    Don’t think so. This one’s a live one, Wilder will need a few tune-ups or he’ll wait until Albert slows down a bit and doesn’t look so great in his last few fights.

    Clearly PBC pulled some strings, he’ll also be ranked by WBC shortly.

    This guy would get on well with Luis Ortiz. They could have a great natter about the olden days.

    That’s inspirational. I’m 35 and I feel old. Time to get back in the boxing gym!
