Watch: 35-Year Anniversary of Marvin Hagler vs. Thomas Hearns

In recent weeks with the world lock down many boxing fans have been catching up on old fights from the past.

Classic bouts that are timeless.

Perhaps the mother of all fights for many is none other than Marvin Hagler vs. Thomas Hearns.

Two men who although legends of the sport as accomplished boxers, decided to forget about boxing entirely 35 years ago.

Instead, they opted to take things to the streets in a real world class street fight between two of the best boxers of their time.

Under boxing rules of course.

This week marked the 35th anniversary of when all hell broke loose in the ring:

The ultimate fight in many ways.

Although not much sweet science involved, three rounds of mayhem that transcended the sport in its own brutal, barbarically quirky way.

Hagler for a long time went under the radar publicity wise but after this people knew he was.

That’s safe to say.

Hopefully the above fight has alleviated some of the boredom of the Coronavirus lock down at the moment.

Remember to stay safe, keep doing the recommended things and to look after yourself.
