Nigel Benn

"This is so personal it makes Chris Eubank look like an old friend of mine by comparison."

"I do detest him, I really do. It's no joke. I can't stand him"

"I was always fighting from a young age… I wouldn’t back down, I knew Andy wouldn’t have backed down."

"I don’t know if I wanted to top myself or if I just wanted someone to hug me."

"He has unbelievable body punching power and is exciting to watch."

"In accordance to the way that Benn speaks, he is not educated. Sure, he's educated to a certain extent, but under different circumstances he would be a bouncer on some door in the West End and he'd have three kids from three different women … I am a superior person to that. I have finer points. So, superior in mentality, yes. As a fighter in accordance to the trade, yes."

"It would give me a terrific sense of satisfaction to be the man who sent both Eubank and Benn into retirement. Benn doesn't need me to tell him that he's over the hill because, deep down, he knows it."
