Not many people will believe these records that have come over the years. Most boxers only have between 40 to 60 fights, the most ever is 470 bouts! Most fighters only start boxing at 19 or 20, one man got a world title by the age of 17, and two men somehow managed to go through 7 hours of boxing! This could never be done ever again! Boxing has changed a lot since the 1900s and could potential change more over the next few years, however these are the 3 unbeatable boxing records that could take decades and if not longer to break! Apart from one of these which is the youngest fighter to ever win a world title. This could be broken in the next few years cause nowadays fighters are getting younger and younger. Could this record change in the future? Or will all three remain the same for the next couple of years?

The Longest Fight Ever!

Two men by the names of Jack Burke and Andy Bowen made history on the 6th April 1993, as they went through 110 three-minute rounds of boxing and managed to survive the until the 111th round where both fighters were too tired and dazed to come out of there corners! Jack Burke has only had 13 fights in his career and one lasted longer than any of his fights combined! Andy Bowmen however had 26 fights in his career with one that he’ll never forget!
