TYson Vs Bruno 1 was the first fight i took an interest in - but it was Benn Vs McClellan when i was 14 that turned into a boxing anorak nutjob!
:P

Re: The first big fight you can remember!
Ali -v- Spinks 2.
In fact, I do vaguely remember Ali fights before this time, as his fights were worldwide events that attracted so much interest, but it is the second Spinks fight that I sat and watched with my father & I loved the way how Ali showboated etc & won back his title.
From this point on, I really got into boxing & I started watching the likes of Matthew Saad Muhammad & John Conteh, as they used to be shown on World Of Sport & Grandstand way back when.
