Didn't see it but remember Benn won quite easily, Eubank may have even quit.
Benn took it very seriously and was in great nick, whereas Eubank thought it was a bit of fun and just turned up

I recall Benn threw himself into the whole thing with military precision, obsessed with bettering Eubank.

Eubank didn't know what he was doing in there. Said he thought he was turning up to read some poetry, or something.

lol, i remember watching this on TV many years ago, it was before I seriously got in to boxing and I thought Eubank was far better then Benn I barely knew who Benn was, so I was quite surprised when Benn battered him, I remember the final challenge when they were fighting with some kind of swords, I think that bit was somewhat close.

I think they had three contests, they each won one, and then Benn won the final contest and was the winner of the show (I could be wrong though).

You are correct. Benn won 2-1. I have the old tapes somewhere.
