Ex-boxer no pushover

So, this is where Sylvester Stallone got his ideas for the 6th installment of Rocky flicks, "Rocky Balboa"...

Ex-boxer no pushover
Three men tried to rob 60-year-old Aage Piltingsrud by ambushing him with an iron bar. Piltingsrud doesn't think they'll try again.

Piltingsrud had a wound in his head and some aches and pains, but the ex-boxer said he wasn't about to go to a doctor, he'd seen worse before, newspaper Ringerikes Blad reports.

Piltingsrud was heading to take the bus home after meeting friends at a local Honefoss pub.

'I'd bought some pals a few rounds and probably someone noticed I had some cash on me,' the 60-year-old told the newspaper.

When he passed a drugstore a man suddenly appeared at his side, and when Piltingsrud asked him what he wanted the stranger pulled out an iron bar and hit him in the head and back.

'He had two more guys with him,' Piltingsrud said.

But the surprise and pain were not enough to knock out the former boxer, who had no intention of surrendering his wallet.

'The guy who hit me with the bar got one hell of a beating,' Piltingsrud said. 'The two others ran through the hedge and into the parking lot nearby. They had met their match,' said the former Oslo boxer.

A trip to the doctor afterward did not occur to Piltingsrud.

'No, I took the bus home and washed the blood off me. Later I called the police and said that if a man came to the hospital that had been beaten up, I was the one who had done it. I told the police it wasn't nice, but I didn't regret it. I think it's appalling that you can't walk the streets in safety,' Piltingsrud told the newspaper.

The Honefoss police confirmed that Piltingsrud had called and told police about the incident, but no one has filed any charges."
