WBN can confirm the return of the ‘Dark Destroyer’, British legend Nigel Benn for a comeback fight towards the end of 2019. Speaking to son Conor, an undefeated professional in his own right, WBN were informed of a ‘guaranteed’ return to action for Benn. Link not working for some reason but was from World Boxing News
lol haven't heard of a Benn comeback for years!! No chance of it happening. Jonny Nelson was the last one!
He’s back! I wonder who he will face This content is protected @RealJoeCalzaghe @RoyJonesJrFA @BernhardHopkins @ChrisEubank @SteveCollins @Carl_frochh or is it someone else? From Conor’s Twitter, Froch would be seriously bad for his health
“There’s an opponent who has signed a contract. It’s a former WBC world champion and who fought only two years ago." Chad Dawson? Tarver? RJJ?
They mention Bika, who fits the bill. Dawson is "active", RJJ fought 1½ years ago and Tarver hasn't fought for 4 years and had 2 doping violations in a row.
Yeah so won't be Tarver then for sure. I just checked and Dawson was last out in 2017 v Fonfara so would fit the bill. Like you said though he's quite active so would be a bad idea for that reason I think! Bika it looks like then. This does sound genuine though in terms of a fight happening
Dawson's last fight was against a journeyman just a couple of months ago, after being out for over 2 years.
I wish he'd just f**k off to be honest with you. When he referred to Conor as a white version of himself I could never take him seriously again.
I'm sure he who cares so much about fighter safety could get the Luxembourg Boxing Federation to sanction it.
