    If it goes 10 rounds Benn get seriously hurt, he's not stopping Bika.

    At 55 years old, Benn is really risking his health if he fights Bika. He will get annihilated.

    A delusional pipe dream which won’t happen.

    I just hope it doesn’t happen. Even if he passes all his tests, they don’t account for things like reflexes. His defence and timing is going to be well off. I’m against him fighting someone like Collins, never mind Bika! As said earlier I really can’t see how someone gives him a licence.

    Is this supposed fight any worse than the farce to come that is KRI v Logan Paul? Not exactly sure of their names as I don't "follow" Youtube "stars".

    As long as Benn is healthy and passes all of the relevant tests, who are we to deny him his dream of a (one off?) ring return. It might not appeal to many but it isn't our life. It is Benn's.

    Good luck to him, if that is his path of choice.

    I think it's purely an ego massage, nothing more, nothing less.

    Odds are available. Bika clear favourite, but still value... Either way it's hard to touch this if the fix is in ...

    If he must have a fight can’t we just have Benn vs Eubank? Make it a PPV and put their sons somewhere on the card.

    Wtf. I fear for Nigel. Bika is most probably still world level.

    He should stick to fellow oldies or area level.

    Benn should start from the bottom and work his way up, he will only be 78 by the time he gets a title shot. Age ain’t nothin but a number.

    It's strange because Benn mentors him and has stood him on his head in sparring.

    If anyone's banging him out, it's Benn.
