Former world heavyweight champion who KO’d Lennox Lewis, 59, wins second comeback fight as opponent retires

FORMER heavyweight world champion Oliver McCall won his second comeback fight aged 59. He initially retired in 2019 but McCall made a surprise return in Nashville in November just days after Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson. McCall defeated 54-year-old opponent Stacy Frazier in the second round after a fairly laboured combination of punches. And he followed it up with a stoppage over Gary Cobia, a 52-year-old police sheriff from Utah - who now has a record of three wins and five losses.

Cobia took an uppercut in the first round which left him bleeding from the nose and unable to fight on into round two. McCall - who won the WBC title in 1994 - now has 61 wins and 14 losses on his record as fans voiced their concern over his prolonged career. One said: "Disgraceful.". Another added: "Anyone over 50 should not be getting hit in the head.". YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul's fight with Tyson was marred in controversy amid the age gap between them.

Paul, 28, won a dull points decision and McCall called out the 11-1 celebrity after his comeback victory last year. He said: “I’ll knock Jake Paul out. Bring on Jake Paul and I wanna get revenge for Nate Robinson and then Mike Tyson. That would be awesome.”.
