Nigel Benn is a world champion in two weight classes and is known for his aggressive and aggressive style. He hung up his gloves with a knock-out rate of 83%, including many non-stop attacks.
Two of his most memorable battles were against Chris Eubank Sr. These fights are unforgettable for fans lucky enough to watch, and so thrilling that they have managed to return through the boxer’s sons.
Nigel, now happily retired, returns to the ring to serve as Conor’s manager, who faced Chris Eubank Jr in a fight sold over family rivalry. Back in the 90s, he lost one and drew one with Eubank Sr. It’s something that through Conor, Nigel will want to get it right – although he may not be too keen to admit it.
‘Dark Destroyer’ spoke to Matchroom Boxing before the match. While his son certainly has that brand all or nothing Nigel said that there is a big difference between them as warriors.
“The way he trains – he trains like a gladiator. Really focused. I have never seen that. It’s not in me, because I’ll be out there partying [and] Light a candle on another candle. But Conor is completely different from me. Completely different. “
Conor is keen to tell everyone he grinded it in the gym, and now he has a sign of companionship from his father, who witnessed it himself. Nigel went on to say that, if both were at their peak, his son would be so much better and nothing to compare.
That’s as much praise as a son could ask for from his father – especially one who has retired from the sport with 42 wins from 28 games. However, despite the glowing reviews on the inside of the ring, there was a problem outside that he wanted to point out.
“We are the same. He cannot dress well. His sense of dress, man. Oh my God. He won’t take [my advice]mate, he thinks I’m an old man. “
The family duo seem to be on the same page and thrive in training together, which can only mark danger for Eubank Jr. In fact, the camp was so much fun that the only disagreement in the run up to combat might be what Benn was wearing. walking ring.
