76 years old (Born on July 18, 1948)
Happy Birthday, Jim Watt! Still bobbing and weaving through life's rounds like it's 1979. Your legendary left hook clearly hasn't aged a day since you became WBC and The Ring Lightweight Champion—these candles don't stand a chance against the champ!Though gloves may be hung up now, your victories from April '79 to June '81 continue inspiring boxing fans everywhere. Here's hoping today's celebration is every bit as memorable as your glorious title defenses—just watch out for that cake; calories can hit harder than any lightweight contender.
Cheers, Jim, to another victorious year in—and mostly outside—the ring!
