Apologies if this had already featured on here before... happened to stumble across it this evening and hadn't seen it before. Anybody know where this took place, and when?

I think it was in a Miami gym, if I remember rightly.
Probably around the period when Benn was fighting Jorge Amparo and Sanderline Williams (89 - 90) post Watson.
