    Apologies if posted elsewhere but at the end of this interview, Nigel says that there'll be an announcement soon?

    Disgusting how there digging out Harley here, Nigel showing he's obviously got massive issues about it.

    Personally can't stand Connor, Harely seems far more likeable, honest and down to earth.

    Hang on a minute, I agree to a certain extent, it seemed a little bit off they were complaining about Harley telling stories while actually telling a story themselves, all seemed rather hypocritical.

    But Harley told a story and they had the right to reply and answer a few questions on it.

    So Harley Benn isn't his name? He just uses it for publicity. If I was Nigel I'd say exactly the same.

    Not a simple as that though is it. Harley is obviously second best to his dad regardless what dad says about their all equal. Know ones right imo, just family s*it and emotion's running high that none of us could understand. Best left an not spoken about. There is all the ingredients for a bitter showdown down the road though

    Yeah he does have right to reply but as a mature adult I wouldn't have done it on IFL TV with the golden boy son backing him up. Nigel obviously F**** up badly somewhere down the line and Harley's rant looks more like a cry for help or recognition from his paternal father rather than him slagging him off.

    either that or its the start of great promotion for a Benn brothers mega fight.

    its fairly ****ing simple. if Harley don't want anything to do with them, change your f-ckin name to your mothers name. don't use them and their name for an image. Harley is fighting in leisure centres, conor debut he boxed in a sold out 02 in a PPV, the reception he got was unreal, all due to the Benn name.

    Conor was trained to fight , Harley Benn was born to fight, that right hand is something terrible.

    He has every right to use his dads name, Harley will KO Conor within 6 rounds !

    Like I said, I thought it seemed a little off they were complaining about going public while themselves going public but like I said they do have the right to reply.

    Well we don't know how and even if Nigel messed up, it's a family matter, I'm sure both sides have a case for being upset.

    I wouldn't know if it's a cry for help by Harley as you put it, according to Nigel he invited Harley to the gym and offered to help him and he was initially up for it then changed his mind and told a story.

    Harley bad mouthed Nigel and says he wants nothing to do with him or that side of the family so Nigel said then don't use the family name if you are that upset, I personally think that's a fair request.
