Nigel Benn fighting again at 55 - contracts signed

[Ron Swanson]

I had my 4 horsemen era when I was too young to have sustained interest, a lack of sustained interest in boxing, my Benn era, then another gap. I was always interested in the sport as I boxed myself but the pro’s my interest came and went. Lots of talk about nothing really there just, Benn occupies a large portion of my boxing fandom. Years devoted really only to him. That’s how I’ll remember him, this I won’t watch.

You will, even just to see Benn not get hurt.

Ricardo Mayorga is also fighting on the card just to make things more bizzare!!


The British Boxing Board saying no, no way, has not deterred Benn. Having been turned down for a license there, Benn has sucessfully obtained license to fight under the auspices of the British and Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA). This also explains the announced (though not officially) addition of another veteran former champ to the card: Ricardo Mayorga no less.
