Cool. I never knew these two sparred. Rare footage indeed.

Benn was holding back A LOT.

Usually he threw every punch with intent to, well, kill.

He had probably just beaten Barkley for the middleweight title around then by the looks of it

nice one, this is great footage, thanks

Good find.

Duran might be getting on, but still had a pretty amazing array of tricks & experience at his disposal.

Perfect guy for a younger up & comer Benn to be sparring at that time.
