Mickey Rourke returned to the boxing ring after 20 years on Friday and defeated Elliot Seymour, who's 33 years his junior, within two rounds.
However, it turns out that the star's glorious comeback was fixed. He reportedly fixed the bout 'to look good'.

According to the reports, Seymour, who's a former California Golden Gloves champion, was paid to take the bout for Rourke in the exhibition boxing match held in Moscow , the New York Post reported.
A source close to the Seymour family said that the boxer, 29, lives on the streets of Pasadena and was desperate, and it clearly was a fixed fight, as they were intentionally hitting each other's gloves.
It had only taken the 62-year-old Oscar nominated star minutes to beat Seymour and a publication wrote that if people believed "the boxing match be totally legitimate, then they had been watching too many movies."
Rourke was famously trained by Freddie Roach, who owns Hollywood's Wild Card gym, when he turned to boxing midway through his acting career. The legendary coach's most decorated fighter is boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao.
