Autographs of Nigel Benn
Nigel Gregory Benn (born 22 January 1964) is a British former professional boxer who competed from 1987 to 1996. He held world titles in two weight classes, including the WBO middleweight title in 1990, and the WBC super-middleweight title from 1992 to 1996. At the regional level, he held the Commonwealth middleweight title from 1988 to 1989. He scored wins over several world champions including Doug DeWitt, Iran Barkley, Thulani Malinga, Mauro Galvano, and Gerald McClellan.
Nicknamed "The Dark Destroyer", Benn retired with an 83.3% knockout ratio. His most well-known fights include the successful world middleweight title defence against Iran Barkley in 1989, the two all-British world title contests against Chris Eubank in 1990 and 1993, and the successful defence of his world super-middleweight title against Gerald McClellan in 1995. In the build-up to his ring walks, the chimes from Big Ben would often be played before he made his entrance.
Benn was born in Ilford, East London, on 22 January 1964. Aged 18, Benn joined the Royal Fusiliers. He was stationed in West Germany for three years, and then in Northern Ireland for eighteen months. After leaving the army, Benn joined West Ham Amateur Boxing Club. Benn became the Amateur Boxing Association Middleweight Champion in 1986.
