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.

The risk in boxing is too much for someone who's too old to compete. It's not like football where you can decide to walk instead of run. You're going to hunted through 12 round being punched. Mike Tyson suffered at the hands of Jake Paul in their fight.[/QUOTE]
You've highlighted a significant distinction between boxing and other sports like football. Boxing involves direct physical confrontation where the objective is to land punches on one another, making it far more dangerous, especially for older athletes. 

The risks increase with age, as older fighters may not have the same reflexes or recovery ability as younger ones. The intensity and brutality of boxing can lead to serious injuries, including:

1. **Head Injuries**: The most pressing concern in boxing, where repeated blows can lead to concussions or long-term brain damage.

2. **Injury Risks**: Older boxers are more susceptible to various injuries, not just concussions but also muscle strains, joint issues, and other physical ailments.

3. **Fatigue**: Competing in multiple rounds against a younger, potentially faster opponent can lead to exhaustion, which further endangers the fighter's health.

In Tyson's case, although he remained a formidable figure in the sport, exhibition fights present a different dynamic. While they may seem less intense, the physical toll can still be substantial, and the risk of injury remains, especially against younger opponents.

Your point underscores the necessity of prioritizing health and safety in boxing, particularly for aging athletes who may wish to continue participating in any capacity.
