Former IBF champion Gairy St Claire in strife and maybe headed back into ring

Post by Redback Rasta »

Earlier this year, former IBF champion Gairy St Clair narrowly avoided jail after being found guilty of repeatedly punching a chemist security guard outside a chemist shop.

Perhaps more disturbing is, St Claire, now 48 years old, is believed to be contemplating a ring comeback.

Guessing he is looking to pay back the legal fees?

Whatever his reason for coming back, i doubt money is a factor. He'll be lucky to cover his petrol costs driving out to Riverwood :lol:

Bizarrely, the promoter has only done one other event back in 2018

He looks in phenomenal nick for a guy his age. Maybe he has an itch to scratch. Lenny Zappa came back to feature on one of the Tszyu boys card. Maybe Gary is looking at one to have one last hurrah.

Lenny was 33 when he had his last fight. Gairy is 48!

Bob Mirovic was fighting into his mid 50s.

Gary is fighting at a wedding venue in Riverwood, not MSG lol. He owns a boxing gym and looks like he never stopped training.

That Mirovic was fighting into his 50s doesn't make it right. When you are late 40s plus you have no place in a boxing ring no matter how fit you are. The fact that you have great cardo and a fit body doesn't mean your aging brain is any better placed to be punched around than a Joe average off the street that age.
