50-year-old former WBA cruiserweight First Arslan (47-9-3, 32 KOs) returns on Saturday night against 43-year-old former world title challenger Gusmyr Perdomo (26-9, 17 KOs) at the Sportschule Firat Arslan in Göppingen, Germany. Due to Corona regulations, no spectators are allowed to attend the event.
Arslan last fought in February 2020, losing by TKO to IBO beltholder Kevin Lerena when his own promoter at the time threw in the towel, much to Arslan’s displeasure.
AARP Heavyweight Championship.
50 is the new-get knocked flat on your ass cuz you’re delusional!…It’s funny how it says “Due to Corona Virus, no spectators are allowed to attend this event” more like “Due to the fact these are a couple of old washed up has beens, nobody will be interested in attending this event”
A risky move at his age, but apparently he has something to prove…to himself. Perhaps he wants his last fight to end on his terms. Best of luck to him.
