Oliver McCall, 59, wins 1st round stoppage in Nashville

News summary

At the age of 59, former WBC heavyweight champion Oliver McCall has secured his second victory in a surprising comeback, defeating 52-year-old Gary Cobia via early stoppage in Nashville. McCall, who famously knocked out Lennox Lewis in 1994, showcased his experience as he dominated the fight, which ended after Cobia refused to continue following a first-round uppercut that left him bleeding. This win marks McCall's 61st professional victory, adding to a career that now spans nearly four decades. Following the fight, McCall called out YouTuber Jake Paul, expressing his desire for a match to seek revenge for Nate Robinson and Mike Tyson. Despite his achievements, concerns have been raised about McCall's continued participation in boxing at his age, reflecting a broader debate about age and safety in the sport. McCall's comeback began last year after a five-year hiatus, having previously defeated Stacy Frazier in a prior match in November.
