Nigel Benn (Volume 2)

 There was never any pretense about Nigel Benn. The magnetic two-weight world titleholder captured the hearts of millions during arguably the most enthralling period in British middleweight history and his own heart was always splattered across his sleeve.

 “The Dark Destroyer” won his first 22 fights by knockout and, during that run, was only extended beyond two rounds on three occasions. Mean and merciless, the former soldier attacked the opposition with lethal power shots and when he was hurt himself, there was no fighter more dangerous.

 Benn competed from 1987 to 1996.  He held world championships in two weight classes, including the WBO middleweight title in 1990, and the WBC super-middleweight title from 1992 to 1996. Regionally he held the Commonwealth middleweight title from 1988 to 1989.  Benn tallied a total of 48 professional fights across his career, with 42 wins (35 KO's), five losses and one draw.
