Week 1, October 2035 During the post fight press conference Anthony Ballentine declared that he is not ready for retirement. www.box2glory.com/npc/5999bio.htm - 4 times world champ with 9 defenses remembered for a lot of great fights against Fyodor Apraksin. HE fought for Phoenix Ace Combo all his long career. Same gym for 15 years, after signing following his World Champion win in amateurs as B2G just started up. At his age I doubt he will be able to make it back to the World level, however he might snatch the North America championship. He has enough awards to go to the hall all fame as in addition to the belts he held he is always eager to please the fans and was awarded with the World Fan Favorite award in 2031. He is knows as a very tough fighter who always dishes out a lot of pain with ratio of .32 and plenty of Bee awards. But changing he mind about retiring when he already accomplished so much....will this take away from his legacy if he just cannot compete with the younger boxers. Distilling legacy is something that his long time opponent knows a lot about. www.box2glory.com/npc/6237bio.htmFyodor Apraksin has been languishing in mediocrity on European level with just one win in 9 fights. Still the stubborn Russian is not planning to retire until sometimes in 2038. Yet with his reflexes gone he is getting hit a lot now, and it just not safe for him to go on anymore. With his place in HOF also assured a reasonable person might ask...why?!?

Ballentine more than 100 fights omg is he one of the fighters who has been around since the very beginning? B2G started in January 1 2020, so yes. What is more impressive is that he has been with same mega gym, which has always extended his contract for all this time. The Miami native spend 15 years in Phoenix.

He is now back to National level www.box2glory.com/npc/5999bio.htm 14 years he has been at higher level. Guess he is really short on money or really loves the game to keep going at this time. And he is fighting against a boxer with whom he had lots of battle early in a days of B2G. Infact both were in B2G debut more than 16 years ago.

Obviously his motivation is to get the Oldest USA Champion title from Andy Ongley
