The Speed And Power Of Nigel Benn

Appropriately named "The Dark Destroyer" by the time Nigel Benn had hung up his gloves in 1996, the big-hitting Brit had amassed an impressive forty-two wins inside his ten-year-long career, with an eye-watering thirty-five wins coming by way of knockout.

The enthralling all-action British banger captured the heart of millions with his ferocious fast-paced fighting style and explosive one-punch knockout finishes.

Collecting two world title belts from his forty-eight fight career, "The Dark Destroyer" has rightfully earned his place as one of Britain's greatest boxers.

After almost twenty-seven years since his last professional bout, we take a look back at the speed and power of British boxing legend Nigel Benn.

Although our channel relies on fair use, all our work is completely trans-formative, and educational and we provide a new narrative to all our videos.

Nigel Benn was an amazing fighter, watched loads of his fights back in the 90’s. One of the best the UK has ever produced.

Benn was ferocious, like Tyson. The 80’s was an incredible era for boxing.

I met Benn in a club in South London when he was in his 40s. Shook his hand and it felt like it'd been caught in a hydraulic press.
You don't realise how solid he is until you get up close.
A monster of a man, true Brit and a living legend.

Benn vs Mclelland was the most courageous, and bravest performance I can ever remember seeing from an English fighter. Nobody gave Benn a prayer, but he had other ideas. A true legend in the boxing world...

[Creativemnds]

Ben had that scarce quality of becoming more dangerous when he got hurt. A lion hearted fighter

[ianbrett]

In my opinion Nigel Benn deserves to be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, he was a two weight champion and made 7 successful defensiveness of his WBC Super-Middleweight title and has a better overall championship record than some of the previous inductees.
The Dark Destroyer was awesome.

[decdillon]

To this day he still is my favourite fighter..proper fighter...

Woow, watching all these comments make me happy.. My son plays soccer with Nigel Ben's son U14 here in Australia. On the grand final yesterday, he was invited to give the kids a motivation speech. I was told it was powerful and he prayed for the kids in Jesus name.. the team won.. I shook his hands and hug him many times..but never knew who he really was till I saw this video.coz I don't follow boxing ..

[DanielTorres-vswt]

[davidmarshall]

One of our most exciting fighters ever

[wujmt]

He was a vicious fighter.All out every time.

[gregmoore]

Respect to Nigel Benn, he pulled his punches after he knew the opponent was finished: look at 1:48 to 2:08 as an example both in real time and slow motion!

[leehambleton]

Loved Nigel he never cherry picked his fights he would fight anyone anywhere definitely one of the all time greats

[samarthur]

Nice to see Nicky Piper, a cracking boxer in his own right 😊

Since retirement N Benn has admitted he was on speed during his professional career, as they say apples don't fall far from the tree.
