Post by Controversial »

Just curious really, thought he had gone quiet and no fights since Feb 2020, anyone know if he quit the sport?

I know, its harder to live down after he goes on losing, and Benn was his one win.
I've only seen Harley once on a televised card and he looked fine for a novice.

I guess in his defence he had no amateur fights so was learning on the job and to follow in his dads footsteps was pressure in itself.

I can't fight for toffee, but I'm confident that I'd beat the bejaysus out of Harley Benn.

He looked pretty awful and no definition.

Benn is useless. Just a name. Not even a big one either. Not a lot of people know Forcefraser is the son of Smoking Joe Frazier. Our Force just spells it different so he doesn't get attention. And he's got a left hook like his dad.

But how did he accidentally win a four round fight?
The maths isn't that difficult.

Yes I think they have a bit of fractured relationship, seem to recall a few digs on social media towards his dad.

Edit. Just seen an interview with Benn and he said he has 7 kids, didn't realise he had that many!

I think Harley's mum was a random shag for Nigel.

Harley only uses the Benn name for boxing.

Grim origins. Imagine knowing your dad is a celeb for whom your very existence is an embarassment and your mum is a... Well, I won't write it out.

I think Harley Benn has recently moved round the corner from me as I see him quite a lot walking his dog. Normally I’d go out my way to get a picture with a boxer but knowing that I was probably better than him I couldn’t be bothered :lol:

This mother met Nigel at work, she was a stripper, and Harley was the product of this one night stand.
She then chased him for maintenance etc but Benn denied everything, until finally he was caught with a DNA test.
She therefore needed to continue stripping to support herself as a single mum, as well as selling stories to the Sunday papers.
Benn was married at the time.
I read Harley is going to be on the next love island.

Must piss mum off to have that Benn name used by her son after Benn Sr denied child support until he couldn't.

He probably only uses it for boxing. I bet it's not on the birth certificate.
