43 year-old former champion believes he still has what it
takes
Riddick ‘Big Daddy’ Bowe ruled the heavyweight division in
the early 1990’s and now as he heads towards his mid-forties, the American is
of the belief that he can still rule again despite just three fights behind him
in fifteen years.
The New Yorker last fought in 2008 when he scored an
eight-round win over the little-known Gene Pukall in Germany and has constantly
been linked to another comeback fight in recent years.
It now seems that Bowe, 43, and his agent Allen Ellison are
planning an assault on Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko’s dominance of the
heavyweight division and the two-time world champion could soon be back in
training.
"If they beat me that proves they're better,
then," Bowe told The Huffington Post.
"If they don't beat me that proves I'm the cream of the
crop still.
"In six months, they'd give me a good fight. In a year,
I'd just whoop them. A lion recognizes a lion. Them boys is sheeps.
"I've been doing it since I was 12 years old. It's just
what I do. I've been doing it all my life. Now I'm 43, it hasn't changed."
The former best heavyweight in the world, who once put his WBC belt in the trash rather than face Lennox Lewis, also confirmed he
is on the look-out for an opponent for his next fight and could be back in the
ring in 2012 if all goes to plan.
"I'm hoping we're going to find somebody real soon. Ain't
too many people nowadays that want to sign up for a good old-fashioned
whooping,”added Bowe.
