Walking away from the sport of boxing can often be the hardest part of it.<\/p>\n
Many people have retired from boxing only to be lured back in by the thrill of fighting under the lights, the irresistible pull of a big pay day or simply to once again feel like life has a purpose.<\/p>\n
Last year, it was Mike Tyson<\/a> who laced up the gloves despite being 58-years-old and long retired. He took a rather one-sided points loss to a man less than half his age<\/a> when he fought Jake Paul. Meanwhile, in July, 46-year-old former eight-weight champion Manny Pacquiao also returned to boxing when he fought to a draw with Marios Barrios, and is allegedly targeting another fight for a world title later this year.<\/p>\n Before 2025 is out, we will also see the much-loved British great Ricky Hatton<\/a> back in the ring. Hatton, who lost to Pacquiao out in Las Vegas, just over a year after also being beaten by Floyd Mayweather at the same MGM Grand Arena, is a former light-welterweight and welterweight champion who retired in 2012.<\/p>\n
