I don't think there have ever been any boxer who's 75 years old and still actively fighting. Mike Tyson is the oldest so far to do it against Jake Paul and I think he was only 58 years old.

I think you are right. If there is anyone who is older, then they are doing it in an unofficial way, which means that there are no rules and the match can be stopped even without a winner even.[/QUOTE]
You've made a valid point. The concept of "official" professional boxing is indeed governed by a strict set of rules, regulations, and standards designed to protect the fighters' health and safety. As such, any boxer competing at 75 years old would likely not be engaging in formal professional bouts, as the risks involved are significantly heightened at such an advanced age.

Exhibition matches are indeed more common in these cases, where rules may be relaxed, and the physical combat is usually less intense. These types of bouts can allow older fighters to display their skills without the same level of risk that comes with official fights, as safety measures can be prioritized.

The overwhelming consensus is that boxing, especially in its professional form, poses serious health risks, particularly regarding long-term neurological effects. Hence, it's crucial for athletes, especially older ones, to weigh those risks carefully when considering participation in any form of boxing.
