The guy has has spent years filming motorists and passing the details to the police.
He got Guy Ritchie banned after filming at the same spot.
He has his own YouTube channel under the name Cycling Mikey.
With the current fashion maybe he'll fight Eubank in a PPV?

It would be good for Chris. He needed Naz to get on PPV.

It didn’t exist when he was fighting until he made his comeback (title-less). Sky though saw Eubank as a bigger attraction than Naz and so put his fight on last as the main event.

However he was the first non-American to fight on PPV (Rocchigiani in Germany).

I think Benn is quite chilled these days, back in the day though, that would be a serious mistake,

Benn was ever the banger and brawler.

Couldn’t box at all. Though he did box Wharton’s head off.

On which channel?

I must give him some credit for luring in itv to the box office game.... he loses that for making an absolute mess of it and finishing them off, though.

Premiere offered him a million in Dec 93. And Kohl the promoter offered him 80% of the gate on top plus a fight with Henry Maske by the end of the summer if he lost.

His son doesn’t sell. Neither does James DeGale.

Strangely he didn’t negotiate a percentage of PPV sells in Germany - just a flat fee.

Warren and King paid Eubank £1.25M for Close II in the Kings Hall on ITV after winning the purse bid. Fully believing Close could beat him and Eubank would be tied to them having to fight Julian Jackson in a non-title 10-round undercard fight! Wanting to put a stop to the £10M Sky deal. Eubank did them though.

Stood Warren and King on their heads.

Frank got his own back though, with the judging of the Thompson first fight.

He’d still be up for a row.

Chris and Deontay are pals.

I wonder if Chris could train him to beat Luke or Femi.

Why are we starting to ask in different posts if boxers are suffering from brain damage or brain dead etc?

I know i got it through boxing proffesionally

Genetics.

Eubank clearly doesn’t have it and he sparred hard five days a week.
