Managed to get the chance to do some pads with Nigel Benn(The Dark Destroyer) the other night:-Bucket List tick for me:






Wow, that must have been fantastic!

What an incredible fighter he was, those bouts with Eubank were unbelievable. It was a great time for British boxing.

He's the man!!

Anyone else remember the incident with him getting attacked in Battersea Park? Turns out some witness to a crime had described the perp as "looking like Nigel Benn" so the local plod put out a photofit of Nigel Benn. Then some poor unsuspecting MOP tackles him in the park, and gets crap beaten out of him!

Sort of funny story in some respects, a proper comedy of errors.

Nice one - what a privilege! He's looking like he's kept his fitness up a little better than Prince Nazeem!

You think ....?



Word was he was pretty quick on his toes , especially ( ALLEGEDLY ) after horrendous car crashes.....probably a good thing he wouldn't fit in a supercar any longer...

A rare occasion, both bikes out the garage at the same time!
CRF250L - daily commute
Z750R - was the daily but now relegated to toy status.





CRF daily for 2 years now!

He'll have a heart attack if he scratches it, it's all about the looks with Mr OCD.

( I knew that's what you meant)

Nice one! Best looking exhaust for them in my biased opinion smile Why the change from the Yoshi (IIRC)? Is it a full system?

great pictures, Ben and Eubank were great for British boxing back in the early 1990's.

A double world champ at that, but he is an Aussie, and we all know they can be a bit thick
