And ya gotta pay the bills... (http://news.yahoo.com/mickey-rourke-return-boxing-ring-62-moscow-bout-203021509--box.html)
Moscow (AFP) - Mickey Rourke will revive his boxing career at the age of 62 and take to the ring with a US professional boxer in Moscow this month, Sovetsky Sport sports website reported Wednesday, citing the promoters.
The American actor was quoted as saying by promoters: "Boxing is a serious part of my life. It taught me respect and determination, patience and concentration. I always dreamed of fighting a match in Russia."
Rourke is set to fight 29-year-old Elliot Seymour on November 28. They will take to the ring ahead of a match between Russia's Ruslan Provodnikov and Jose Luis Castillo of Mexico, Sovetsky Sport reported.
The actor was an amateur boxer before his Hollywood career took off and he became a sex symbol star in films such as "9 1/2 Weeks."
He returned to boxing as a professional for eight matches in the 1990s, causing damage to his face that necessitated surgery and changed his appearance.
In 2008 he starred in "The Wrestler" about a washed-up fighter making a comeback, winning a Golden Globe for best actor.
Rourke is a frequent visitor to Russia and has been romantically linked to a Russian-born model, Anastassija Makarenko.
I knew his appearance had changed, but didn't know why. I thought it was botched cosmetic surgery.
-
I'm fairly sure that his changed appearance is not the result of corrective surgery to fix a boxing injury. He's had bad cosmetic plastic surgery, that's all there is to it.
That said, Rourke's career is FAR from over. He's more in demand now than he ever has been (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000620/), including his stints in the "Expendables" franchise, as well as his roles in the "Sin City" movies. He's everywhere nowadays.
So whether boxing in Russia is a smart move or not, he clearly isn't doing it because his career is washed up. He must truly just love the competition of boxing.

The surgery sure didn't fix his brain at 62 he has no earthly reason to take a beating like he's going to get. I feel bad for him.

Apparently his opponent was in no physical condition to enter the ring.
-
That was not a fight.....lol.....
-
Did they dope him up before entering? Seriously, this thing seems rigged worse than a pro wrestling match!
