Guess who's coming back now?

Yep, a 51 year old Donovan "Razor" Ruddock will be fighting again after a 13 year plus hiatus apparently. He already had one comeback after a 3 year hiatus in the late 90's going 10-0 (9) & re-retiring at age 37. He will be fighting 44 year old Raymond Olubowale (10-6-1) in March.

Someone should just start some senior boxing league outside of the normal pro boxing perimeters where old cats get some giant gloves & giant headgear & have at it for a few rounds. Hearing about & seeing all these old guys in the ring takes away from the sport imho. I understand a person should be able to do what they wanna do, but the fact that the bar is so low on what it takes to be a "professional boxer" makes the sport the joke many see it as today. Commissions please throw some f#cking higher bars to jump over than not passing out on the treadmill to get a boxing license.

Didn't Ruddock already cancel an announced comeback fight last year ?
I've read the money the promotor offered him was so ridiculous, he decided to cancel everything.

If it was the 90s, I'd fear for Razor.

But with the drek that populates today's heavyweight division, Razor should do quite well.
I'm sure he could go undefeated on a European tour.

I'm so excited I can't wait. He must have heard us all imploring him to make another comeback and he felt he couldn't disappoint his public.

Razor you're blunt now give it up before you get hurt. :verysad:

And it's a rematch vs Raymond "Mount Kilimanjaro" Olubowale! No doubt Olubowale is looking to gain revenge. Let's get ready to rumble!!

i think you made a typo Chuck - missed off the 'g'.

There again a fight that can go either way is never a terrible fight at any level of competition in my opinion so perhaps I was a bit harsh.
