Walter Edgerton (Kentucky Rosebud) vs John Henry Johnson. 1916-06-09. Philadelphia.
Edgerton billed as 61 (possibly 63), Johnson billed as 56, combined age 117 or more!

..probably not as old as either combination, but jack johnson and bob fitzsimmons fought at advanced ages.....before the advent of social security...

November 17, 2000: Larry Holmes, age 51, beat Mike Weaver, age 49, by TKO in round 6. Combined ages = 100 years. I think it may be the oldest where the ages can be actually confirmed, although Edgerton v. Johnson may be correct if only the ages could be confirmed.

Well, I have been critical of Holmes' willingness to rematch those who gave him trouble, but theres the proof Im wrong

He also gave Bonecrusher a rematch right around that time. I watched them both on my PPV box. Sadly I actually paid for Holmes/Butterbean.

May I ask why?
