Well his last fight was only 11 days ago so I guess it's fair to say he's still going !
On official documents he is 41 and 5 months.
By the way 11 days ago saw Karl's 100th loss !!

I haven't seen him on the TV for a while.... probably the Doherty rematch.
Apparently he is a bit of a nutter, but okay at the same time (if you know what I mean).
I remember his fight with the late Mervyn Bennett as it was shown on Welsh TV (Bennett was going through a bit of a good patch of form and was looking at a Commonwealth title fight) - I'm sure he was potrayed as his mid/late 30's then.

I see it ending a crazy 34-34 draw after an up and down war.

Karl is old enough to have a son who boxed pro for a season but seems to have packed it in after going 2-2.
His first two fights were wins, against two of his dad's gym mates.
That may seem fishy but I was in the hall for Kyle's second win and he looked like he had something to work with, I guess he just lost interest as so many at his age do...
Karl is a Brummie legend though - a right tough little nut in his day.
