    Him vs RJJ or Eubank would of probably sold some PPVs. This will be a super flop though.

    To be honest the only avenue for this fight would be PPV- no lineal broadcaster would entertain the idea of putting this on TV.

    Still is a bold decision.

    I can’t believe his Wife and kids have allowed this nonsense to happen - hopefully it falls through.

    Benn Bika is a great name for a fighter.

    Matchroom FC are ok with KSI fighting Logan Paul, but an actual boxer who has been medically cleared isn't allowed?

    Age is only a number. Benn is probably fitter than most 35 year olds.

    Don't think many are OK with that too, but at least that's just 2 guys without any type of skill fighting it out. Unlike a 55 year old vs a guy who was at least still quite decent only 2 years ago.
    People die from high numbers then, instead of advanced age? High numbers the #1 cause of death among humans and animals alike :lol:

    He might be fit, but what about his punch resistance? I worry about that 55 year old chin of his.

    Ticket prices range from £52.25 to £511.30 for outer ring. God know what the inner ring prices are??

    He'll sell out. A lot of his fans are now wealthy homeowners in their 40s/50s.

    Fitness is one thing, reactions and punch resistance are what I'm concerned about with Benn.
