Legendary American promoter Bob Arum explained why the unified light heavyweight champion Arthur Beterbiev continues to perform at a high level. The Canadian will turn 39 on January 21st.
“Age doesn’t matter to Beterbiev. If you are 39 years old and have had 40-50 fights, then it does. And if you have 19 fights under your belt, then you have the body of a young guy. There is wear and tear on the body.
George Foreman competed after he was 45 because he spent ten years away from fighting. The situation is the same as with a car. “You may have an old car, but if you don’t use it, it will last longer,” Boxing Scene quotes Arum.
