    After Benn vs Eubank 2 wht didnt one of them fight Nunn?

    I was watching some footage of the buildup to nigel benn vs chris eubank 2 and micheal nunn was with don king and said that he was going to fight the winner but this never happend. does any one kno why this didnt happen? They could of united the super middleweight division with the 3 of them and toney and jones.

    I'm not sure why it didn't happen.

    I do know though that when Eubank and Benn signed the contract for the fight, there was a clause in the contract that said that both fighters would be promoted by Don King in their future bouts but as you know the fight ended in a draw so Benn and Eubank got out of that clause because there was nothing in the contract about the fight ending in a draw. So there could have been some personal feelings from Don King to Eubank and Benn.

    Also, Nunn lost a fight to Steve Little 5 months after the Eubank-Benn rematch.

        I'm not sure if their promoters would have taken the risk.
