If his corpse lands on you in rows four through twenty you get a coupon for one free cold stone creamery.
He still looked very powerful on the pads a year or two ago but he's 55 y/o, hasn't fought in 23 years, and whilst Bika is no spring chicken himself at 40 years of age he's always been teak-tough and a real handful for everyone he's fought and he's never been stopped lol
If Benn manages to pull it off at 55 years of age and after a 23 year layoff it will be quite some achievement lol
Lasting 12 rounds against The Pimp and in your first fight at the full LHW limit is a real litmus test for proving whether you're packing iron in your mandible or not lol
Don't wanna bother watching it... I can't stand when boxers make comebacks at the age of 95. It's bad for their health...
Are we supposed to swallow the line about him not needing the money ? And Nigel ironically forgot that the very reasons he cites for returning, like "the death of his brother, drugs" should immediately disqualify someone from entering Pro boxing in the very first place. PRO Boxing, as opposed to recreational or amateur, is reserved for those who have a sane head upon their shoulders and don't carry psychological problems with them. The same thing with Frank Bruno: both of them fools/tools.
Skip Bikia is rough customer, why in Gods name is Benn coming back aginst him? If it was Rocky Fielding I would say fine, but Bikia will destroy him
Good decision. He knows he has no capacity to do anything else in life, so it makes sense. I would have preferred another match-up between retired fighters, Chris Eubank versus George Groves, but this might inspire that, so fingers crossed Benn performs well and Chris Eubank feels the need to one up him.
I loved watching Nigel Benn's career unfold he was a fantastic fighter and collected a very impressive number of scalps , however this won't end well for either Nige or Bika if the Cameroonian bum starts his Swede to swede crappola with Nige .
If it was just about the money surely he could earn more coin facing another fighter instead of Bika? Steve Collins has been itching for a fight for a long time now. Granted his preferred choice has been Rooster Roy, but everyone knows that Rooster Roy has never wanted that smoke with The Celtic Warrior and that he's been cluckin' and a duckin' him for well over 2 decades now, which FTR is the longest duck in the history of pugilism. Benn vs Collins III is a much bigger fight than Benn vs B-Side Bika.
