    Anyone read this book about Benn/Eubank and the whole MW/SMW scene at that time? I bought it about a month ago.

    Bloody good read! Well worth the money.

    About £20. Brilliant book which is worth every penny. I couldn't put it down!

    Yeah I'd imagine it being in BM. They always push the British Boxing books. ;-)

    Not wanting to spoilt too much but the Eubank/Fireworks story is hilarious.

    No but thanks for the reminder as it is one I want. Wish I'd have remembered before Xmas then I may have got it off of the Mrs instead of the mundane autobiographies that I got instead.

    I kind of liked boxing as a kid in the 80's, I remember watching the McGuigan v Pedroza and then of course Iron Mike.

    But it was the Eubank & Benn in the 90's which really got me into boxing, what an era, some great fights and press conferences lol

    Will look out for this book now, cheers
