    I think it was something stronger than cigars

    Spotted him in Mayfair buying cigars. Was at a pub after work and a convertible Rolls Royce pulled up with the number plate KO1 or similar...posted on here at the time iirc. That was a year or so ago though so long after retirement. Was really good with letting people take pics etc.

    It’s well known that Benn did far more than smoke ha.

    chris living the good life with jnr's money.

    not that I blame him, he gave them a posh upbringing so deserves some money back.

    He gave him a career that he probably never would have gotten into so yup, definitely deserves a slice of jnr's pie!

    Eubank did before he started boxing. And cigars when he finished.

    Benn did right through his career.

    Doubt Lennox ever did.

    a lot of fighters are smoking weed nowadays, both boxers and MMA. Can help them get away from the training and relax their mind, also the anti inflammatories can aid the body in recovery.

    its become a lot more common since getting getting legalised in certain states for recreation. I imagine that in said states that your perfectly allowed to have THC in your system upon testing?
