Steve Ward (boxer)


Steve Ward is a British professional boxer, notable for being the oldest professional boxer in the world. He was confirmed as such in 2011 at age 54. He lost the distinction in 2015, when an older fighter competed in a professional bout, but regained it later that year when he fought professionally at 59. His original boxing career lasted from 1977 to 1987. He made a comeback in 2010 and finally retired in 2017 after losing the WBC veteran heavyweight championship title to Andreas Sidon.
