really good so far!
The guy couldn't be more honest - brilliant interview, he's hoing on about smoking spiffs and popping Ecstacy pills hahaha
Top man 😊
Just watched it on catch up. He's great to watch fair play. Back in the day, You were either a Benn fan or a Eubank fan, and I was always a Benn fan(although I do like Eubank as a bloke now.)
Benn's victory against McClennan was one of the greatest performances by any British fighter anytime, anywhere.
One small thing, I am a bit sceptical about the "born again" stuff, but hey ho.
I'm amazed he smoke 20 cigarettes a day right the way through his career and still fought the way he did 😉
Nah he was proper God squad I remember he lived in Mallorca the same time my brother did about 15-20 years ago and we met some role who were close to him 😊
Enjoyed watching that and love Nigel he's proper 😊
Brilliant, brutal and honest interview just like Benn. One of the most exciting fighters in the 1990’s.
Must have sounded great on the radio 😂
Yep Nigel's a boy alright , didn't know they had 2 ambulances waiting at the McClellan fight. They knew it was going right off 😉
