- Fans are concerned about the return of an American boxing icon
- Butterbean made an incredible weight loss trip
American Boxing Icon Butterbean, the real name Eric Esch, aroused worries among combat fans after having made an improbable return to the ring at the age of 58 after losing 90 kg.
Butterbean, a former IBA heavyweight champion, Pro Wrestling and Kickboxing Star, has made an incredible weight loss trip in recent years after revealing that he has at some point a ball at 233 kg (515 pounds).
He credited his remarkable transformation into training with DDP Yoga, a program launched by the former WWE Diamond Dallas page wrestler.
Butterbean fought for the last time in 2013, when he faced Kirk Lawton in Australia – injuring himself in the process.
The beloved truck, which decided to return to combat sports, entered the ring last weekend to fight against Minoru Suzuki in Las Vegas.
The legend of the struggle has clearly relaxed on Butterbean, which sometimes seemed to have difficulties physically throughout the match.

The fans expressed the alarm after seeing images of the event.
“What’s going on,” posted an X user.
“Why was the butter fighting,” said another.
Another fan referred to a quote Johnny Knoxville from Jackass: “Is Butterbean ok?”
In 2022, Butterbean said he was on the verge of a box return – and wasted no time to call Youtuber Jake Paul.
“I am in weight. You will have to listen to my upcoming podcast to find exactly the weight I have lost, but I haven’t weighed this for over 20 years, which will give you an idea, “he said.
“The big announcement is that I will fight a last fight. It will be in a year. Jake Paul, if you’re ready, I’m here for you my friend.
“Let’s go, me and you Jake Paul.

Butterbean launched a challenge to the fight against Star Brock Lesnar in February, saying that he was `ready to come back ” in the ring
At the beginning of 2025, the heavyweight icon launched a challenge to the fight and to the star of the UFC, Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar is the only man to have won the heavyweight championships at WWE, UFC and NCAA.
“I’m going to do it once again,” said Butterbean.
“I would love to fight Brock Lesnar in a boxing match.
“He runs his mouth, he’s a big guy, it would be a big fight and something people would like to see.”
“It’s going to be a real fight, not what seizes the money and the race. I don’t want an exhibition, I want a real fight. ”
“I had just made an agreement with the owner of Energy Drink Company Lucky Energy, who will get there.”
