Former heavyweight champion who beat Lennox Lewis makes comeback at 53 next week: “I’m ready for anyone”

Former two-time heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman is scheduled to make his boxing comeback on September 24 in Indiana. The 53-year-old American will face Phillip Triantafillo in a scheduled six-round contest, marking his first professional bout in over 12 years. Rahman aims to break George Foreman's record to become the oldest heavyweight champion in boxing history.

Rahman, famous for his upset knockout victory over Lennox Lewis, has expressed confidence ahead of his return, stating he is ready to face any heavyweight in the world. His opponent, Triantafillo, holds a professional record of 4-4. Rahman's last professional fight was a decision loss to Anthony Nansen, which followed a stoppage defeat against Alexander Povetkin.
