BusinessWeek – Steve Taw, the oldest competitor at age 53 in the history of Hong Kong’s sixth annual Hedge Fund Fight Nite, is competing four years after his son’s victory in the same charity event.
“I’m the only one ever following in his son’s footsteps,” said the white-haired Taw, known in the ring as “The Wizard of Wanchai” after the commercial area of bars and clubs made popular in “The World of Suzie Wong,” the 1960 William Holden movie. “Hopefully he’ll be there to carry me home after the party — I’ve done it for him enough times.”
