Hollywood tough guy Mickey Rourke is getting back in the boxing ring in Moscow 20 years after hanging up his gloves to concentrate on acting. Rourke, 62, will take on 29-year-old American boxer Elliot Seymour in a five-round match at the the Rossiya concert hall in downtown Moscow on Friday. Rourke, who is being coached by Mike Roach -- who has previously trained Mike Tyson and Oscar De La Hoya -- has lost 15 kilos (35 pounds) for the fight and is said to be in perfect shape for a man of his age.
