Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke picked up his boxing career on Friday night in Moscow at 62 years old and beat his far younger opponent in the second round.
Rourke, wearing red trunks with a Russian flag, unleashed a barrage of blows against 29-year-old Elliot Seymour, an American professional boxer, and the bout was halted.
It had been set to go five rounds of two and a half minutes each but in the end lasted about four minutes.

Prior to the match, wearing only a cowboy hat and turquoise boxer shorts, the actor had showed off his tanned, tattooed and muscly physique to a cheering crowd as he weighed in at 81.3 kilos (179.2 pounds), the same as his rival.
"I'm very happy to be back to the boxing ring. Thank God for letting me do this," Rourke told AFP ahead of the fight.The organizers said the boxers were receiving "large amounts of money" in fees, declining to give details but saying "everyone is happy".
