Rourke told Russian TV "I've got some things going on in my life so that (boxing has) sort of saved me from myself, and for a man like me, it's better to live in fear than go on in shame."

Rourke boxed professionally in the early 90s but quit after he sustained serious injuries and needed reconstructive surgery.
