MICKEY ROURKE IS no stranger to boxing having posted a 27-3 record as an amateur before turning to acting.

However, the now 62-year old made a victorious comeback to boxing today when he beat 29-year old Elliot Seymour in the first round in their Moscow bout and yesterday showed off a physique men decades younger would be proud of.
It’s impressive stuff:
