‘No love scenes, Kay won’t like it’

- Monaco

– American boxing legend Marvelous Marvin Hagler (above) may be 64 but he told AFP that age won’t stop him hunting down more roles in action adventure movies.

However, there is one condition – he will not do love scenes.

The undisputed middleweig­ht world champion from 1980-87 has made four films in Italy where he lives with his second wife Kay.

His most recent silver screen appearance­s were in 1997 in movies Notti di Paura and Virtual Weapon.

However, Hagler says while he enjoys commentati­ng and charity work, the chance to play someone else in movies has its attraction­s.

“Hopefully for me to land another film,” he told AFP of his future plans.

“I love to do that, that is what I have been doing, action and adventure.”

However, light-heartedly suggesting that his wife may not be happy, he added: “You always get the girl in adventure films, but I cannot do any love scenes.”

Hagler retired from the ring after a controvers­ial loss to bitter rival Sugar Ray Leonard in 1987. – AFP
