Denis Lebedev Retires at 39 after Goulamirian Fight Falls Through

Denis Lebedev was supposed to fight Frenchman Arsen Goulamirian, but this week that fight fell through so the 39-year-old opted to call it a career instead. Lebedev beat both Roy Jones Jr. and James Toney back to back, but those fights happened in 2011 long after either man should have been competing in the ring. Still, the Russian fighter known for donning a Paratrooper uniform on his way to the ring (and to a lesser degree the absurd swelling he suffered in his fight with Guillermo Jones) simultaneously held the WBA and IBF Cruiserweight titles in 2016 and will retire with a career record of 32-2 (losses to Marco Huck and Murat Gassiev).
