"I have never said one derogatory thing about your son!" 💥 Nigel Benn | Up Front

[@jonadams6846]

The best interview I have seen EVER,but then again Nigel Benn has always been my favourite fighter

[@nikko7507]

This man is an inspiration to many including myself . The trauma from loss at a young age and other things i relate to like nigel. Grew up watching him fight as my dad was a massive fan of him also , and when i read his book as a teen i learnt more about the man and his struggles, and greatness.

[@MathewParker-by4nx]

What you on about, he was on roids every single fight.

[@Andy-uw9cg]

He's nothing in comparison to Eubank. Not in any way

[@relax9674]

@Andy-uw9cg eubank is genuine, this guy aint and hes a cheat like his son.

Best fight I EVER SEEN benn v McClelland, the way nigel turned that fight around is something nobody else could have done, wat a heart💪

[@janeharper9329]

full of steroids

[@stuartsmith-hutchon8356]

Very good interview. Simon, you did great, Nigel. You are great. The real people's champion. I was also at the Benn v Mclelland fight. Wapping. Best atmosphere. Dangerous.

[@bowlingarry]

Genuinely interested in you're take on the night. When you say dangerous? Do you mean the atmosphere and mood on the night.?

[@stuartsmith-hutchon8356]

@bowlingarry Nigel Benn, after the big ben chimes, his walk on song was called Dangerous

[@bowlingarry]

Ok.. Sorry i get you now.. Just reading War Baby by Kevin Mitchell at the moment and didnt know what the reference you was making meant.. Apologies

[@johnjones8026]

what a guy and what a boxer from what ive seen on videos. This is what boxing now is missing, characters and just fucking good boxers

[@DrMarkHussey]

Finally someone's spoken out. Simon does seem to love the sound of his voice. His introduction says we might learn something, but jesus, if he shuts up we might hear who he's talking to, and he might learn something too. 🎉

[@kingwhodat1848]

Lol

[@paulos1878]

He likes to dig though and that can bring a good insight.

[@Ellgringo-y5e]

Best interview you ever did Nigel was my favourite fighter growing up his book was the first I ever read, he's honest god fairing man, my fave middleweight ever, God bless him

[@manchester689908ok]

Fantastic watch, very informative and nostalgic from an era of boxing, around the middle weights, which was a tremendous period of quality boxing🥊Thanks Nigel for some fantastic times watching one of Britain's most entertaining fighters

[@ChrisIowa]

The best of the very best. Benn was an incredible force who took any fighter on, no matter what. I had the privilege of meeting him unexpectedly in Beckenham, which I never forget. Great interview.

[@divscuba7096]

Great interview. Haven't heard Nigel in conversation for that long before.

[@deancurson1345]

Enjoyed that,

[@fitprotunes]

The reason Simon went so hard on Conor (when we've barely heard a peep from him about Fury/Saunders/Whyte) is that Simon has a raging hard on for Eddie Hearn.

[@joebloggs-z5z]

Yep. Spot on. He was right. Which was Eggie Earn and Con Bent, dealt with the whole thing horribly however the fact that Eggie was involved meant it became more personal for Simon.

[@jmc4226]

He tried to make the fight go ahead after his fighter failed a drugs test. I’m glad he went after Hearn the way he did he’s a fucking hypocrite

[@anwarm4405]

Mate Simon thinks of Eddie every day of his sad life 😂 blatant hater.

[@Syddy-77]

How him and that little worm Jim white go on about him is so cringe when I listen to them on talksport

[@paulos1878]

Simon is annoying but he does crave all things to be as true as can be. Roy Keane for example has a similar mentality. A bit of bullshit is too annoying for them and they cant help but look for the real answer.

[@peterjohnston4472]

Living legend

[@richarddouglas58]

[@dannymcmince]

great interview , Eubanks sorted him

[@DJ-pr6wq]

What a man for someone to not discriminate based on colour after mindless racist scum murdered his brother is a godsend the self control and self awareness this man has is second to none 👏 massively respect him and he's alot more real than eubank doesn't need to repeat himself to get his story over

[@harrydrake4173]

As another poster said, what was his brother doing in that house and why is what happened attributed to racism?

[@markbyers3210]

Went to a Nigel Benn talk in a while back, wouldn’t answer any questions about anything juicy: ie his relationship with the Essex Boys etc - all he did as obsessed with was talking about he’s devoted to god. Loads walked out after half an hour, including me.

[@chezzmaine]

Using god as smokescreen

[@mikemike5973]

That's quite sad you walked out after half an hour

Always a shame when people are reduced to generic town square preachers. That being said, I still love Nigel.

I’ve no clue about boxing whatsoever but I sat here watching the whole Conor Benn section for 10 minutes straight

[@FightXpert]

People are gonna takeaway from this interview that Nigel Benn is a bit of a hot head But Simon was completely disrespectful with the constant interruptions He constantly brushed along every topic so he could ask him the question about Conor

[@fargodavilleitnotd6729]

1:00:12 Conor Benn...

[@Jude-w5e]

Eubank admitted out of everybody he fought Benn hit him the hardest

[@user-ki5mo8ok8l]

Finally an interview where Simon isn’t trying to diminish his guest.

[@rogerdavies2796]

I know what you mean but he seems to make an exception for boxers. Maybe it's the coward in him.

[@tom0_]

Simon Jordan is a snake.

[@tatendamhuriro2735]

He doesn’t want to be smacked

[@barbarian.boxing2322]

I’m sure he was still on the ring apron when he went out and that should have still been a 10 count … unless I’m bugging… happy to be corrected. I always thought the 20 count was for situations like when B’Hop went completely out like vs Joe Smith

[@moanyd4986]

Brilliant interview, great guest, the dark destroyer. America had hearns, sugar ray, haggler & Duran. We had benn, Watson, Eubank, Watson. A great time to be alive. Benn was an animal, wouldn’t wanna meet him down a dark alley. He’s British heritage.

How did Conor Benn turn out the opposite to Nigel Benn... Not sparring like a madman is what made these legends legendary. The new generation put way too much emphasis on hard sparring.

[@mikedobson1678]

Eh? Old school training was hard sparring it’s more recently we’ve learned of the damage that does

[@iffysd9864]

@mikedobson1678 Im trying to understand how it too the boxing world this long to understand that hard sparring will not help with punch resistance. Look at Whyte's speech. He talks from the side of his mouth because of hard sparring.

[@MathewParker-by4nx]

No difference at all, both are drug cheats.

[@Ytterdahls]

@@iffysd9864he’s old enough to have been training when they were still doing one too many hard sparring sessions. They still exist.

61 years old, unbelievable doesn't look a day over 45

[@daweilee1986]

What Nigel never says is why his brother was in that house in the first place. The first possibility was he was burgling the house, and the second is he was banging the guys Mrs. So was he pushed out the window due to racism or another reason? How would racism place him in that house?

That press conference that McClellan said that to his dad was recorded. According to Nigel’s ex manager Peter DeFreitas, he has a copy. Not sure if Eric Guy filmed it but as he’s no longer with us, looks like it won’t see the light of day. ITV should’ve located it for the Benn vs McClellan doc.

One night in a nightclub made me loose all respect for this man. Aquarium back in the day some guy accidentally bumped into him and immediately apologized, dude became unhinged and wanted to batter the gut smh to this day i cant fathom why he would carry on like that. I met Frank Bruno in a club back in the day Legends off Burlington st and you couldn't of found a more humble guy, no fanfair just him on his todd moving so respectfully through the crowd, it was admirable.

[@thelegendthatischels]

The awnser is drugs benn was known to be heavy on it back in day with the Essex lot

[@jasonbrown9644]

Well I’m only six minutes in and he’s already touched on a few traumatic experiences that clearly affected his psyche throughout the years. Bro getting murdered when he was a kid, frequent punch ups with the National front etc. A moment of madness by him in club Aquarium(probably high as a kite!) isn’t at all surprising! 😂

[@Capitalgee84]

So your perfect then??

[@jimtheburrito4080]

He’s a bit full of himself just like his son, full of one’s own importance. I don’t understand the love in with him tbh Frank Bruno is a gentleman and doesn’t get the credit.

​@Capitalgee84 no one is perfect but Benn was and probably still is a bully.
