Calculators at the ready guys.
Oliver McCall is fighting Bert Cooper in July for the..... wait for it..... IBU Heavyweight championship of the world. Combined age of 91. How does this compare to other obscure Heavyweight title fights..... Botha vs Holyfield WBF title fight? Neilson vs Holyfield WBF title fight? Bugner vs Smith WBF title fight.
Shall we stop talking about this paper title fight this weekend, and talk about a proper heavyweight title fight that is taking place two weeks later.

Holyfield-Nielsen was 48+46 = 93. That's surely the record. Without looking it up, I think Bugner-Smith was 48+45 and McCall-Cooper would be 46+44.stujones wrote:Calculators at the ready guys.

As an aside, I thought McCall was down to fight Kali Meehan for the other WBF title?
