Yoel Romero wants to fight till he’s 51. “ I might be 42 but I want to fight 10 more years!”
The Cuban fighter is currently 42 years old and fights at middleweight and wants to continue for another decade. Yoel Romero is a powerhouse of strength and agility and I see him lasting a few more years if not a decade.

Yoel’s main intention of fighting for another decade is his desire to overtake Bernard Hopkins. Bernard Hopkins currently holds the record for the oldest boxer to hold unified titles in a boxing division. Bernard retired from boxing at the age of 51. Romero wants to outdo that. That will right now take him a decade to achieve. Does he have what it takes? Will he need to size up or down to sustain himself for that long? Will he be able to take hits till he’s 51? More importantly, can he strike at the same rate he does currently?

Yoel Romero vs Israel Adesanya is a major event and can prove to be career-altering for Romero. It’s where he gets to prove he’s still got what it takes to fight the best fighters in the division.
