    He's like 18 to 20 years past his absolute physical peak and can't take a good shot anymore. Might be in bad financial shape to even consider this. He's also probably closer to 50 than 40 since it's well-known he's not actually his listed age.

    Helenius knocked out the last iota of his prime. I can't believe he's still at it a dozen years later...or that he actually fought in five bouts in one year as recently as 2019. :eek:

    oh come on. all of us know that he will be "duck fury's" next opponent after the mma fighter, right? it will be advertised that a powerful puncher is coming out of retirement and fury is graciously giving the once feared champion one last shot at glory! :) :boxing1

    Eddie Chambers recently had a comeback fight. Perhaps these two should have a rematch?

    He should get into shape and go on the celebrity boxing/BKB circuit if he's desperate for a payday. Even shot Peters power would likely be too much for that crowd.

    Peter is another guy that while I can't prove it, I'm certain is far older than his "listed" age.

    The only person at HW that actually "outboxed" Toney to a dominant win. And doing it despite the fact that he really wasn't a great "boxer", just a real slugger. But for that one night...............wow.

    Actually had 2 decent runs at HW, most guys can't say that.

    He's listed as 43 years old but,,,,? I think he's just playing around. His last 2 fights in 2019 he was stopped By Hughie Fury and blasted out by Makhmudov in 1 and he's certainly not gotten any better. As others have mentioned he seems like a genuinely nice man who you'd like to have dinner and a beer with. That is something that should be valued much higher in todays society. I hope he stays safe

    That’s what I thought at first, but looking at what he has been posting on IG lately, he looks to be training pretty seriously for someone not interested in a comeback. Heck, I was about blown over when I saw him doing pull ups haha. I wouldn’t have thought he could do those at this age lol.

    I have always wondered why more notable past prime heavyweight boxers don’t go down the BKB route. They would absolutely destroy the competition there, especially the sluggers like Peter.

    All I can think is that the paydays must be very small in BKB, even at the top level, though I have no idea what the money is actually like.

    Should scare him back into retirement and tell him Vitali activated his grandfathered in WBC champion emeritus status.
