Julius Francis is 43, he has a record of 23-24-1
Yes thats right folks, he has lost 24 fights. He comes of a losign streak of 14 losses FFS.
His only claim to fame is that he lost to Tyson in 2 rounds, he even agreed to have the soles of his shoes sponsored (for when he went down)

British Heavyweight boxer Julius Francis is about to make his Cage Rage and Mixed Martial Arts debut against Cage Rage Heavyweight star Gary “Smiler” Turner.
This has been a rumour circling amongst journalists over the last couple of weeks and we are happy to confirm that on Thursday the 2nd of August, British Heavyweight boxer Julius Francis and his opponent Gary “Smiler” Turner will be officially signing the contracts during a public press conference to be held at 12pm in the World famous Peacocks gym, Caxton Street North, Canning Town, London.
Julius Francis will be making his Cage Rage debut on the 22nd of September 2007 at the Wembley Arena. Julius Francis can boast of winning four British Heavyweight title fights and five Commonwealth title fights, as well as two challenges for the European title and he has fought four former or future World champions, besides owning his very own much heraldedLonsdale belt. Now he is about to make the transition to one of the most technical combat sports in the World, but Francis will not be too fazed by this transition as he was a very successful kickboxer, before turning to boxing, Francis is currently working with Rob Sulski on his wrestling and Jujitsu, two very important tools that he will need inside the cage. Julius Francis will be up against a very formidable opponent in Gary “Smiler” Turner, just like Julius Francis, Gary Turner established himself an international name as a K-1 kickboxing star representing the UK all over the World. But don’t let that fool you, Gary has been studying and practicing martial arts for many years and is an excellent striker.
