This man is an inspiration to many including myself . The trauma from loss at a young age and other things i relate to like nigel. Grew up watching him fight as my dad was a massive fan of him also , and when i read his book as a teen i learnt more about the man and his struggles, and greatness.
I’m 35. Never watched Benn live. But he’s so magnetic. Has an attitude which represents something in the British mindset. So likeable. So relatable. Very authentic.
Finally someone's spoken out. Simon does seem to love the sound of his voice. His introduction says we might learn something, but jesus, if he shuts up we might hear who he's talking to, and he might learn something too. 🎉
Could have watched hours and hours more of this absolutely brillant. One i notice with benn watching all his interviews, his stories and views never change a very real honest man Just really good to have new additions to those stories here
Very good interview. Simon, you did great, Nigel. You are great. The real people's champion. I was also at the Benn v Mclelland fight. Wapping. Best atmosphere. Dangerous.
Incredible interview and insight into Benn. What a legend, abd four plsy to Simon, he knows how to run an interview. Need more like this. Real substance
Fantastic watch, very informative and nostalgic from an era of boxing, around the middle weights, which was a tremendous period of quality boxing🥊Thanks Nigel for some fantastic times watching one of Britain's most entertaining fighters
My favourite fighter growing up in the 80's and over the past couple of years have had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times at events. They say never meet your heroes but Nigel was everything I hoped he would be. A real nice man. So glad he turned the corner and here today still banging the drum.
You can actually see the difference in Nigel without doubt I also now help men with addictions. But my ameture days at boxing will always stay with me god bless you Nigel and all the family 🥊🩵🙏
The best of the very best. Benn was an incredible force who took any fighter on, no matter what. I had the privilege of meeting him unexpectedly in Beckenham, which I never forget. Great interview.
only 4 years older than me but his and eubanks fights are etched in my memory - what a personality Nige has, thoroughly entertaining, what a life story he has too
Best interview you ever did Nigel was my favourite fighter growing up his book was the first I ever read, he's honest god fairing man, my fave middleweight ever, God bless him
Some of my best times was watching Nigel benn fight then straight into ministry after the fight these days will stay with me forever nothing has come close to them days great times great fighter ✌️🐸
What a fighter Nigel was a true warrior never ducked anybody, I was lucky enough to meet him a few years back at an event, when my son asked Nigel to sign a picture for him, some fella who had something to do with the event turned round and said Nigel isn’t here to sign things and hasn’t the time anyway. Nigel turned to the fella and said if it wasn’t for the fans i wouldn’t be where I am today and you certainly wouldn’t be here, well you should of seen the look on that fella’s face.Nigel made sure he had time for anyone that night, top geezer.
Really nice podcast. Nigel is a legend. Nice guest and good conversations and insights into Nigel too. Really enjoyed this one. Would have been nice with time stamps. Haven't managed to watch it all but so far so good. And I can tell it's going to be a good one.
I was at the MacClellan fight,it was the most exhilarating experience I’ve ever had. It’s sad that Benn never got the recognition he so well deserved for how he fought his way back into the fight,his heart and courage. Thank you for your passion and commitment to boxing Nigel 🥊🥊
It's great that Simon brings in these well known guests to interview him all the time, but it would be nice if he could interview them once in a while.
@ZzzZzz968 ye hes a ledg to its those 3 had warz man me an my big brother bonded over them fights n recorded them on vcr he still has evry now n then we get together n watch an rememaber
What a man for someone to not discriminate based on colour after mindless racist scum murdered his brother is a godsend the self control and self awareness this man has is second to none 👏 massively respect him and he's alot more real than eubank doesn't need to repeat himself to get his story over
The most exciting British fighter ever .. what a fighter just a pure fighter .. good to see Nigel in good health and spirits
Drugs cheat
What you on about, he was on roids every single fight.
He's nothing in comparison to Eubank. Not in any way
@Andy-uw9cg eubank is genuine, this guy aint and hes a cheat like his son.
@relax9674 💯
The best interview I have seen EVER,but then again Nigel Benn has always been my favourite fighter

Superb that! Credit to you both!
Six minutes in here and this is a great interview already.
Finally someone's spoken out. Simon does seem to love the sound of his voice. His introduction says we might learn something, but jesus, if he shuts up we might hear who he's talking to, and he might learn something too. 🎉
Lol
He likes to dig though and that can bring a good insight.
Haha wonder how much percentage wise Simon speaks vs the guest
@@NoName-eo2mv well he doesn't, best interviewer about
@@declanshanahan3888he’d defo does. Hes rude and he’s a prick ! 😀

We loved him in our household, each match he fought. 👊🏾
Great interview 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Real talk from a legend of boxing. Upfront is one of the best shows on UA-cam 👌
Nigel Benn is not only a Warrior and a great fighter. He is so straight talking and honest👍👍👍
The best guest Simon’s had on so far really enjoyed it a blessing to listen to
I was with Nigel last week. He was my hero in the 80's and 90's and such a nice guy
Great interview. Haven't heard Nigel in conversation for that long before.
Wow amazing interview. The best one. Benn was an honest fighter never ducked anyone.
Excellent interview - Thank you to you both 👍
Very good interview. Simon, you did great, Nigel. You are great. The real people's champion. I was also at the Benn v Mclelland fight. Wapping. Best atmosphere.
Dangerous.
Genuinely interested in you're take on the night. When you say dangerous? Do you mean the atmosphere and mood on the night.?
@bowlingarry Nigel Benn, after the big ben chimes, his walk on song was called Dangerous
Ok.. Sorry i get you now.. Just reading War Baby by Kevin Mitchell at the moment and didnt know what the reference you was making meant.. Apologies
When boring was propper boxing. Nigel Benn was definitely one of the best of British , and what a well spoken and presented gentleman he is
'Well spoken?' 'Gentleman?' Lol!
boxing*
Benn ducked Jones and Toney. Never forget that....
@@InmyownIeague MIC DROP!!!!!
Dont blame him they was levels above @InmyownIeague
Incredible interview and insight into Benn. What a legend, abd four plsy to Simon, he knows how to run an interview. Need more like this. Real substance
Amazing work, this is what an interview looks like.
That was absolutely brilliant, one of the best yet
what a guy and what a boxer from what ive seen on videos. This is what boxing now is missing, characters and just fucking good boxers
Brilliant fellas. I was glued to this podcast even though I am not a massive boxing fan
Fantastic watch, very informative and nostalgic from an era of boxing, around the middle weights, which was a tremendous period of quality boxing🥊Thanks Nigel for some fantastic times watching one of Britain's most entertaining fighters
Most fascinating interview, one we have needed and wanted for so long. Intriguing, fantastic.

What a fantastic interview & what a fighter 👌
Great interview Simon. The best so far. There is no BS with Nigel and the listener get a real understanding of who this bloke is. Well done.
He cuts through the nonsense, he might learn something but more importantly so might you
The best of the very best. Benn was an incredible force who took any fighter on, no matter what. I had the privilege of meeting him unexpectedly in Beckenham, which I never forget. Great interview.
Best fight I EVER SEEN benn v McClelland, the way nigel turned that fight around is something nobody else could have done, wat a heart💪
full of steroids
Hmmm. Leave that alone...

You've got to love Benn. Still my favourite fighter. What a warrior and you knew you was going to get value for money.
Great interview .. Nigel such a Legend .. I used to bunp into him at Black Market Records in London and at Ministry Of Sound Club
What a fighter Nigel was a true warrior never ducked anybody, I was lucky enough to meet him a few years back at an event, when my son asked Nigel to sign a picture for him, some fella who had something to do with the event turned round and said Nigel isn’t here to sign things and hasn’t the time anyway.

Legend!!!!
Nigel Benn is the reason I love boxing
Best one yet
Nigel benn pure class as always.
Carl Froch couldn’t lace Nigel’s boots.
Brilliant interview, as about as it s gets.
The power of forgiveness is unbelievable 🩵🙏
I was at the MacClellan fight,it was the most exhilarating experience I’ve ever had. It’s sad that Benn never got the recognition he so well deserved for how he fought his way back into the fight,his heart and courage. Thank you for your passion and commitment to boxing Nigel 🥊🥊
Absolute legend Nigel Benn ❤

big up the Dark Destroyer
61 years old, unbelievable doesn't look a day over 45
Nigel’s a class act. Unfortunately I don’t feel is sons nothing like him yet
The best era of boxing benn,eubank,collins they waz war's man wow❤
You’re forgetting the best of the lot - Michael Watson
@ZzzZzz968 ye hes a ledg to its those 3 had warz man me an my big brother bonded over them fights n recorded them on vcr he still has evry now n then we get together n watch an rememaber
Impossible not to like Nigel.
English legend 🥊
Legend godbless you bro that many guys like you now bro 100% respects always
What a man for someone to not discriminate based on colour after mindless racist scum murdered his brother is a godsend the self control and self awareness this man has is second to none 👏 massively respect him and he's alot more real than eubank doesn't need to repeat himself to get his story over
As another poster said, what was his brother doing in that house and why is what happened attributed to racism?
@harrydrake4173 it was like that around that time and he probably had a strong west Indian accent and stood out in those times.....
Legend
