    Ridiculous, but he'll earn a serious wedge regardless.

    Could be Hopkins. Easy money for BHop who is far less shot

    On a serious note, I think Benn needs some therapy rather than trying to make a comeback as a professional fighter, decades after retiring because his body was no longer up to it.

    If he fought someone from his era then I could understand it...

    But he's been away from the ring for 20+ years and if it is Bika like it's rumoured, that is just ****ing daft !!! Over 20 years out of the ring and you fight a guy who was still actively fighting 2 years ago and in recent years went the distance with Stevenson and Dirrell.

    He's 15 years younger and made his debut 4 years after Benn retired!

    Bonkers.

    Jnr would take the fight to add another name to his record.

    This is either Nigel having a laugh (which I suspect) or delusional ramblings..hopefully it’s the former.
    There will be no come back, it’s complete nonsense and I’m shocked that anybody is taking this even remotely seriously.

    1 He will never in a million years be licensed by the board
    2 No promoter would touch it
    3 No platform with any substance would show it.
    4 He’s 55
    5 There no money in it.

    Even if Nigel was being serious, his Missus if she has anything about her would put a stop to it.

    I could go on, but I don’t think it’s necessary.

    Couple of years back now but he’s still a fit fukka. Problem is, his body was creaking and his resistance was gone long before he finally retired. Loved him in his day though.
