On July 15, as part of the boxing evening in Worcester (USA), a rather remarkable and even historic event took place.

Paul Iannuzzi debuted in the professional ring at the age of 52, and thus, though not by much, but still broke the record of the notorious
Dewey Bosellawhich lasted nearly 11 years.
In the limit of the first middle weight (up to 69.9 kg), Iannuzzi fought with the 35-year-old Brazilian Lucinei Santos and stopped him in the first round.
It is noteworthy that even before the fight, Paul, who already had amateur experience, said that this would be his only fight as a pro. After a successful debut, the winner did not change his mind:
“No, one is enough for me. My wife will never let me fight again.”
