Last nights events would make this match-up look like Swan Lake

Akinwande looks to be fighting next on the Abraham card on 4th March against Cisse Salif, who shouldn't be too taxing, with all due respect. He was 280 for his last fight

Why not a senior circuit tour - from 37+. Only fighters of that age are allowed to fight. A title is on the line and only the winner of that title is allowed to challenge for a geniune version of the world title (and therefore someone under the age bracket). Minute he challenges for the proper title, he has to vacate the OAP world title.

If a fighter is a geniune world champion and turns 37 then he of course will be allowed to continue defending his champions - if senior fighter loses his world title (or a world title challenge) controvesially, then he does reserve the right to appeal to the governing body for a rematch.
Simpler would simply be a seniors tour, same as Tennis and Golf.

Akinwande, Holyfield, Mercer, Donald, Bowe, Tyson, Williamson, Clay-Bey, Sanders, Golota, McCall, Cole, Tubbs.

With the right promotion, those fights could sell. 10 rounders.

Mercer v Holyfield

Golota v McCall
*******************
Tyson v Clay-Bey

Bowe v Sanders

Wouldn't need much selling would it?

The only problem I have with that is that some people mature (or start to fade) much later than others. It would be a tad unfair on stopping the better of these fighters from becoming recognised as the best in the world - regardless of age. Hence my theory that the winner of the "seniors" heavyweight title is eligable to fight for the geniune article.
