Sylvester Stallone to fight world’s oldest boxer
Sylvester Stallone will take on a Sydney father-of-seven in the boxing ring in what could be the highest-ever grossing fight, The Sun-Herald newspaper reported in Australia.
Dexter “Dingo” Dunworth is known as the world’s oldest boxer and has already started training for the bout.
Dunworth, 53, told the paper: “I can only go by what I’m being told from America and that is I’m being put forward as an opponent for Stallone. The fight is for the Mid-American Heavyweight Title. I have no idea what Stallone’s ability is like but I’m told he has said [before] he could go six rounds against a heavyweight, but they’ve offered him four rounds.
“It’s exciting, and to be in the ring against the man who played Rocky would be a dream.”
Stallone, 62, was in training to box while making Rocky Balboa in 2006.
