gnasher16 30,025 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Its been great seeing him back over here the new West Ham gym is a far cry from the old one at the Black Lion where he started he,s a bit too deep for me these days and a much changed character but certainly for the better.....the Eubank thing will never come off its an itch that he,s just going to have to live his life without scratching unfortunately and thats the way the fight game can leave you when its in your heart.

I don't fight competitively anymore cause i was sick of being injured/black eyes bust nose etc and started to get worried about long term effects on my health, yet after a couple of years break and starting to train fighters instead, i find myself getting dragged into sparring wars every week, i just can't sit and watch from the outside, it's an addiction. I can't get the adrenaline rush anywhere else apart from being in a fight, so god knows what it's like for Benn and other top fighters who retire and never have that buzz, especially the energy+excitement of doing it in front of thousands of screaming fans Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickC 1,825 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Thought Benn had fought in exhibitions recently ? I wouldn't be surprised if Eubank/Collins fight again with Eubank jnr fighting Spike Osullivan who is Trained by Collins brother.
