We cross the thresholds of advancing age with begrudging resignation and then you suddenly get slapped with a story like this one.

Saoul Mamby back in boxing ring fighting at age 60

At age 60, Saoul Mamby has gotten back into the ring, and he wants to stay there.

The former super lightweight champion lost a unanimous 10-round decision last Saturday to Anthony Osbourne at the Lions Gate Center in Grand Cayman. Mamby became the oldest boxer in a sanctioned fight, weighing 149 1/2 pounds (68 kilograms), not far from his weight in his prime.

He plans to keep fighting, manager Steve Tannenbaum said.

Mamby turned pro on Sept. 23, 1969, with a six-round decision over Roy Goss in Kingston, Jamaica. He won the WBC super lightweight title (140 pounds, 64 kilograms) with a 14th round knockout of Kim Sang-hyun of South Korea on Feb 23, 1980.

In Mamby's first title defense, he stopped former lightweight champion Esteban DeJesus of Puerto Rico.

Eight years ago, Mamby became the first boxer in history to compete in five decades. Two weeks later, Roberto Duran became the second fighter to do it.

Before the loss to journeyman Osbourne, Mamby's last bout was Dec. 27, 2004.
