Reason for return: In May, some six years after his last pro fight, former two-weight world champion Ricardo Mayorga competed in an exhibition bout against Luis “Yori Boy” Campas in Nicaragua. It was a six-round bout, which Mayorga won, and hopefully it represented the end of something rather than the start of something. Because the truth is, Mayorga, at 51, and Campas, at 53, have not lived the lives of athletes and are therefore both older, in fighting terms, than even their ages would suggest. Mayorga, in particular, was notorious for living wildly and fighting recklessly and any proposed comeback in 2025 would be a continuation of this lifestyle rather than something wise or advised.
