Has anyone ever heard Nigel Benn preach?

TKD-KMA: Nigel Benn is one of your good friends, isn't he?

Ewan Briscoe: He is a hero of mine. I remember the first kickboxing match I saw him in, in Romford, and he fought a guy called Geoff Britton, who used to be in the band "Manfred Mann". Geoff was champion at the time and Nigel went in as a novice and annihilated him.

Nigel wasn't the most technical fighter, but he had a lot of heart, what we call indomitable spirit.

Who do you really think would've won between Nigel and Hagler?

Nigel couldn't carry Michael's jock...and I mean that literally. Tyson was packing downstairs.

West Ham boxing club beckoned but before I became seriously involved as an amateur, I took part in a prize fight at Lacy Ladies in Seven Kings, east London, which I used to think was the best soul club in England. I had never been to a prize fight before, nor had it ever occurred to me to attempt prize fighting. My opponent was a guy called Lloyd who thought he was the English version of Marvin Hagler. Wrong - I was! The purse was £150, the biggest I had ever got. People used to go there to settle their differences. I had gone there only to watch but then thought it might be a good way to earn some cash. Lloyd was their local boy and had already dispatched several challengers. 'Any more challengers?' he asked ****ily. Lloyd was in his late 30s and when I stepped into the makeshift ring, wearing just my jeans, he told me he was going to beat me up. I had nothing lose and he didn't frighten me but he tried to laugh at me. He had seen big guys come and go and gave me lots of mouth. The audience were busily exchanging bets - some were actually backing me - or watching Lloyd attempt a psychological victory before punching me to the ground, or so he thought. I murdered him. I did two rounds with him and knocked him out. He said I was lucky. I said, 'Ta-ta,' took the money and left.

Who do you really think would've won between Nigel and Hagler?

Would of been fun while it lasted, but ultimately Benn's chin would let him down.

You don't even know who this is.

You don't even know who this is.

No. No I don't.

Good ****.

There's Steve Collins in the top picture, too. But he doesn't count.

[jack_the_rippuh]

No. No I don't.

That's Kalambay.

That's not Nigel...that's Reverend Nigel.

Ofcourse it is.
