James Toney And Donovan Ruddock were once considered great boxers. James Toney (77-10-3, 47 KOs) was on the P4P list, and Donovan Ruddock (40-6-1, 30 KOs) was considered one of the greatest punchers and the title holder of the best left hook in the best times of the heavyweight division. Today, both are open boxing retirees, which, however, did not stop them from agreeing to a strange exhibition fight.

Both fighters will fight in Jamaica, where “Razor” was born, although he officially represented Canada. Those wishing to watch this dubious spectacle in the United States will have to pay $29.99 for this service.

55-year-old Tony showed 112 kilograms at the weigh-in. Another senior, 60-year-old Ruddock, will enter the ring with a weight of 117.9 kg.

In recent years, Tony has raised concerns among many boxing fans regarding obvious signs of organic brain damage, and many have called the boxer’s possible return to the ring a “crime” for those who would try to organize such a fight.
