The last Old People’s Champion of boxing, former heavyweight king George Foreman, believes it’s time for his replacement to hang up the gloves. “Get out and smell the roses,” Foreman says in a message to 49-year-old Bernard Hopkins, a Muslim convert from Philadelphia who unified the IBF and WBA light-heavyweight championships by beating Beibut Shumenov on April 19. Foreman became a folk hero to the middle-aged set when he won the world heavyweight title at 45 years old. He retired at 48, but admits he considered another comeback at 56 years old. Hopkins broke Foreman’s record as the oldest man to win a world title when he earned a light-heavyweight belt at 46 — and has since broken that record two more times. He plans to unify the three major titles in his weight class before his 50th birthday in January.

Benzema, a French Muslim forward who recently helped Madrid capture Spain’s coveted Copa del Rey tournament title, is a wanted man in the international scene. Forty million pounds (approximately 67 million U.S. dollars) may be enough to move Benzema from Spain to England.
