Curtis Harper, a heavyweight boxer, lived out this fantasy on Friday night, literally walking out of the ring before his fight with 5-0 Nigerian boxer Efe Ajagba. After touching up gloves and hearing the bell ring, watch as Harper ducks under the ropes and simply strolls away:

The odd move took place before the duo's super heavyweight match at a Premier Boxing Champions event in Minneapolis. Because of Harper walking out, Ajagba's record improved to 6-0 without him having to even take a swing. Solid night's work.

Also not surprising: Mickelson's social-media tenor has been…well, that of a 48-year-old. From his first message to the orchestrated banter between he and Tiger Woods, the five-time major winner's account has been the embodiment of a “dad joke.”
