In the same week 48-year old Oscar De La Hoya announced plans to return to the ring this summer, reports surfaced in Puerto Rico that 40-year old Miguel Cotto would dust off his gloves for an exhibition match with 47-year old Juan Manuel Marquez, while in Australia 41-year old Sakio Bika weighed in for Wednesday night's trilogy fight with 47-year old Sam Soliman.
Yes, old-guy boxing is a thing.
No, it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.
Blame Triller, I guess, the music video app, which will stream De La Hoya’s announced return in July and breathed life into geriatric pugilism by backing Mike Tyson’s (exhibition) return against Roy Jones Jr.
