If you ever had the pleasure of seeing Nigel Benn in action inside the ring, then you’ll know it was a hair-raising experience.
On December 6th, ‘The Dark Destroyer’ will have pulses racing again when he takes part in a unique Audience With event brought to you by MJK Sports Events and HC Promotions.
Nigel Benn is a great speaker with some brilliant stories to tell. He is very open and appreciative with his fans and during the 50 minute interview, tells his stories as you would expect. There will also be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions, have a photo taken with the man himself and win a signed boxing glove.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Benn was a national hero, drawing audiences of almost 16 million for his two epic battles with Chris Eubank. In many ways, that was a golden era for British boxing and Benn, with his all-out aggressive style, was at the forefront of it.
He turned professional in 1987 and fought an incredible 11 times in just over 10 months, scoring a knockout each time. He became a major TV star and his 1989 tussle with Michael Watson was one of the most eagerly anticipated events in British boxing history.
In 1990 he found himself embroiled in a bitter dispute with Eubank – a man who seemed intent on using every word in the dictionary to wind Benn up. The rest, as they say, is history. And you will get all the details straight from the horse’s mouth during this very special night in Colne.
