Nigel Benn fighting again at 55 - contracts signed

[Master]

Bika was a tough, dirty, strong boxer who gave Joe Calzaghe hell when they fought.

I am sure Benn's son was against him making a comeback when it was stated a couple of years ago.

Still insane but when you get idiot you tubers who do jot know how to box on ppv cards you know the Boxing world has gone insane.

[Mark TKO]

I’m beginning to think this might actually happen

[Gandalf]

I think it is a very bad idea. 4 rounds or whatever as a test, but 10 rounds and against Bika? Seems a bit stiff. Two old men in Benn and Eubank clinching and posing might make some sense, but not against a fighter a generation younger. Like it or not 55 is ancient and even for a non boxer in a hard labor occupation. I don't like it, but it is his choice and I will cheer him on.

Sakio Bika is as tough as nails, a guy who was an elite level fighter and who is 15 years younger than Benn. At 40, it's not inconceivable that he could still be fighting professionally.

Unless this is going to be an exhibition match, it sounds like lunacy to me

Benn should get beat unless he has had a word in Bika's ear to lay down at the right time.
