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.

Any boxing commision that would sanction this fight needs to be looked into. Boxing is a young mans game meant for men in their prime. While Mickey is in fine shape for a 30 year old due to any number of drugs, such as; TRT, HGH, any number of steroids etc he is likely going to get beat so bad he will die.
