Whilst I mostly recognise Mickey Rourke from movies like Iron Man 2, The Wrestler and The Expendables, he is also known as a boxer.
Rourke hasn’t boxed in over 20 years, and last Friday saw his first fight, and a total body transformation.
This is the actor/boxer last year, looking generally healthy and fine:
And here he is, ready for his first fight in yonks.
The 62-year old beat 29-year old Elliot Seymour from California in a fight in Russia. Sadly for Rourke, rumours are flying that the fight was fixed.
Let’s hope for him it wasn’t.
