Rourke returning to ring at 62

Mickey Rourke will revive his boxing career at the age of 62 and take to the ring with a US professional in Moscow next week, the Sovetsky Sport website reported on Wednesday.

"Boxing is a serious part of my life. It taught me respect and determination, patience and concentration. I always dreamed of fighting a match in Russia," the American actor said.

Rourke is set to fight 29-year-old Elliot Seymour on Nov 28. They will take to the ring ahead of a match between Russia's Ruslan Provodnikov and Jose Luis Castillo of Mexico, Sovetsky Sport reported.
