Just when you thought Mickey Rourke's ring return couldn't get any worse, British newspaper Daily Mail spoke to a source close*to opponent Elliot Seymour's family, who said the 29-year-old 1-9 boxer has been living on the streets for the last 18 months and was looking to make some money around the holidays. Seymour is claimed to be spending most of his time living in Memorial Park in downtown Pasadena.
The fight took place in Moscow as part of the Ruslan Provodnikov-Jose Luis Castillo undercard. Rourke, 62-years-old, was stepping in the ring for the first time in two decades. The Hollywood actor is even planning to fight several more times in 2015.
The action in the ring was more comedy than boxing. Seymour went down in the second from what appeared to be a harmless shot and then went down a second time, with Rourke landing a hook to his buttocks area as Seymour was then counted out.
“It was clearly a fixed fight. The whole bouncing off the ropes, hands down, punches were not landing and they were intentionally hitting each other’s gloves,” the family source told Daily Mail.
“All these headlines Mickey Rourke beat someone half his age… yeah he did but you’re not telling them the real story. The real story is he’s homeless and desperate and he will probably go back to living on the streets when he gets back. People have no clue about that.”
