This guy will turn 54 in 3 months, so he is even older than another 53 y.o. active boxer Oliver McCall. http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/756352 Nuri was an amateur boxer and later a boxing trainer. But he was always dreaming about pro boxing. Finally, at the age of 51 he has made his debut. His 1st fight ended a draw, and the 2nd fight as well. Finally Nuri scored a win by decision in his latest fight. It should be noted that all of hi s opponents are much younger, 20+ years gap Nuri ain't going to end his career after this win. He wants to fight few moretimes as he said in interview.
One of the draws was vs a 22 year old. That boy should be ashamed of himself. Props to Nuri. All I can say is he can do whatever the **** he wants to, as long as hes not getting badly hurt. But maybe he should fight someone closer to his own age.
A bit off topic but I often wondered if Hopkins had taken a step down in opposition, how long could he have continued on for?
Well, there's another guy in this exact division who is much older, he turns 60 today, and he has fought as recently as month ago. Check here https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...-boxer-zoran-sekularac-turns-60-today.621533/
