Nigel Benn licensed at 55, Ricardo Mayorga features on Nov 23 comeback

[GhostofDempsey]

Former two-time world champion and British Boxing legend Nigel Benn will discuss his comeback to action at a press conference on Thursday.

WBN revealed details of the event previously, which is set to go down on November 23 at Resorts World Arena (formerly the NEC) in Birmingham.

Receiving a license to fight, despite the British Boxing Board of Control backing away from the event, ‘The Dark Destroyer’ will compete over ten rounds at the age of 55.

Australian-based Cameroonian and ex-WBC ruler Sakio Bika is rumored to have accepted terms to be in the opposite corner.

Benn will reveal further details later this week.

One development which has progressed over the last ten days is the inclusion of another WBC title holder from the past.

Nicaraguan Ricardo Mayorga has been approached for a co-feature slot.

A UK foe is expected face Mayorga, who last fought in April of this year. The 46 year-old has lost his last three bouts and should be no match for any currently active British fighter.

Mayora is shot, shot and double shot. He makes these terrible fights and swears he is retired and here he comes back again. He will probably be fighting until he smokes and drinks himself to death. As long as people will pay to see very old men fight we will have fights like this from time to time.

He should challenge Paulie to a bare knuckle fight. He'd pick up a good payday.

Did Mayorga keep his word and walk home after his last loss ?

All jokes aside, including GGG ducking 168 and Ward since the beginning of time, we’ve got Benn with this cathartic state to endure pain at this stage knowing McClellan’s suffering. Benn putting everything on the line.

Very honorable thing for Benn. Strength and Honor!

WAR BENN

bika will kill benn wtf

Benn ego is too big why get an active fully fit 40 year old something who is tough for him even in his heyday

He wants to die in the ring madman lost respect a bit for him when he quit against Collins. I never doubt his heart that is one thing against McCellan that was the best we ever see of him he laid all on the line.

I dont like to see a comeback like this
