History of Nigel Benn Boxing Career

A very unusual personality who is known to have enjoyed the nightlife, Benn had a record of 41 wins and 1 loss as an amateur boxer. He turned pro in 1987 with a win over Graeme Ahmed in Croydon. This win opened a streak of 22 consecutive knockout wins for The Dark Destroyer. The streak extended until 1989. Among the achievements reached by Benn during the knockout win streak were beating Fermin Chirino, winning the British commonwealth's Middleweight title with a win over Abdul Umaru, and retaining it against David Noel. But then, he lost the title to Michael Watson, by a knockout in round six. With that, he also lost his record as an undefeated fighter. After the subsequent loss to Watson, Nigel moved his headquarters to the United States in search of greater and bigger fights and larger paydays. The most  worthy fight of his career was his smashing packed fight with Gerald Mcclellan. It was an eagerly predictable match-up with many boxing fans tuning in, and McClellan dropped Benn out of the ring in round one. In round eight, Benn was dropped again. Seemingly on the verge of losing his title, Benn kept on charging, however, making for what several magazines called one of the fights of the year.  Nigel Benn retired from the sport of boxing and became a DJ, He later appeared in the first series of the ITV reality TV show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. Benn has since become deeply religious and now lives with his family on the Spanish island of Mallorca, where he is a born again Christian. He also became an ordained minister. 

Nigel was without a doubt one of the most exciting fighters to watch during this time period.
