Frazier started the first round of the fight at the Texas Troubadour Theater in Nashville, Tennessee last night, November 19, throwing several punches to McCall’s midsection. In response, the 59-year-old mainly attacked with jabs, before knocking his opponent down with a right hook.

In the second round, McCall continued to hit his opponent in the same way, knocking him down for the second time. Frazier was able to get up, but was pushed into the corner, struggling to defend himself, and then collapsed. This time, the 54-year-old boxer could not get up before the referee counted to 10, and McCall was awarded a technical knockout.

This victory makes McCall the oldest boxer to compete in a professional boxing ring, surpassing the 58-year-old record set by Mike Tyson last week.

“I was the first person to knock out the youngest heavyweight champion, Tyson. Now I am the oldest boxer to enter the ring and win a professional boxing match,” he proudly said.

McCall never actually fought Tyson officially, but was just a training partner of “Iron Mike”.

At the age of 59, McCall said he does not want to stop and is ready to challenge Jake Paul – who just won against Tyson on points in what is considered the most controversial match in boxing history at AT&T, Texas on the evening of November 15.

“Next time, I’m going to lose weight to be more technical. I hit really hard and I still defend well. If I lose about 5kg, I’m ready for any opponent,” McCall said. “I’m going to knock Paul out to avenge Tyson. That would be great.”

McCall was a star heavyweight, culminating in a technical knockout victory over Lennox Lewis to win the WBC belt in England in September 1994. He defended the title against Larry Holmes, then lost it to Frank Bruno in 1995.

During his professional career, McCall lost 14 and won 60 fights, including 39 knockout victories.

Tyson is also a legend, still holding the record as the youngest heavyweight boxer in history to own a world championship belt with the WBC belt in late 1986, at the age of 20. During his professional career, he lost six and won 50 matches, including 44 knock-out victories.
