I always thought there was some ruling against when a fighter is allowed to turn pro. I thought you couldn't turn pro at 31 (although you could embark on a comeback in your 40's).

Obviously not...

I don't know about the UK but Dewey Bozella made his debut at 52.

Yeah, his brother Alan won 7 straight Irish senior titles and his Stephen's trainer now.

He's been back in Ireland year. He's actually off this bill now. Doubt he will fight again.

Everyone on the left side of the list won, by KO, except Hillerby and McMahon who won on points. Some cracking fights on the bill.
