    Nigel Benn teaching Whyte a few tricks

    Looks great for his age. Nice to see DWs trainer listening and absorbing everything always the sign of a good trainer imo

      I was watching these yesterday actually he is in great shape for his age and proof that power is the last thing to go

      but glad the comeback talk has cooled vs collins his knee would explode if he fought again

          keep an eye on his son connor, young fighter who has looked the part so far.

            That moment where he goes low to the body with the right and then twists around to attack the right side was classic Benn and brought back plenty of memories. He could be vicious once he got inside.

            He may not have been the best of his era but he was fantastic to watch, brave, tough and something of a national hero here in the UK.

              Back in the day Benn would have been sparking whyte in sparring. True story!

              Good to see he's calmed down a bit

              He even touches on it saying back in the day guys same size as whyte. It's the truth, he was vicious & a bully in there. Hes a good guy though & my favourite brit fighter.
              Dream match up in prime Benn vs Froch
              Benn all day but it would have been a classic tear up

                "Looked the part"

                Getting dropped twice and getting a gift decision against a journeyman is looking the part to you?
