[chicken-]

The fact that he bought a mansion doesn't mean he doesn't need money now

pulled a hammy stepping up to the ring.

So you're telling me that a 55 year old man, who hasn't had a fight in 23 years injured himself while attempting to train for the first time in likely....23 years?


shocker.

[buddyr]

thank God this injury happened. I don't want to see Nigel Benn at 55 getting punched in the face

[KidDinamita]

Why a fight is not scheduled for another month?

[Adamsc151]

He should thank his lucky starts for this bit of "ill fortune". It's one thing if he'd have come back to fight Eubank, Collins or someone else of a similar age in an exhibition, but Bika's not long retired himself and would likely have seriously hurt Benn.

Glad, hope the shelf the idea.

What did he think? That he was 21?

[Buggy bear]

I'll keep this short ..
1). Is the fight not selling ?

2) did he Ever have any intention of fighting ? Was it a media move to boost his sons average career and gain interest

3) why not just postpone it if he's serious ? ( if it's a degenerative shoulder problem I apologise for this last point as it is career ending injury anyway)

[epyh]

Yes.

But how will he achieve closure then ?

It's all about closure.

Always has been.
