Agreed. Not the most skilful fighter, but one of the most ferocious and fearless to have ever fought and incredible power and explosiveness for his size.
The instrumental to this clip is something else, the brutality of the beat goes hand in hand with the brutality of Nigel Ben, keep these vids coming bro I love em!
I love the aesthetic of these clips and the way you put them through that retrowave/vaporwave/whatever it's called type filter. It makes it more enjoyable to watch and nostalgic in a very specific way. Thanks for putting these together bro.
I think nigel benn is the mike tyson of the middleweight division. Uncontrollable, unbridled fury within a man known as the most murderous punchers in middleweight boxing.
@@joys8634 Mike tyson had to get neck surgery due to neck bridges placing bare stress on the discs not this isometric exercise, if anything, this is the safest way to build neck strength
I'm an amateur boxer. I've had this vid in my favourites for as soon as it came out and I watch it once every week at least. I'll never make it to the pros, cos I'm not good enough, but honest to god this video gives me every bit of will I need to win when I watch it. Thank you so much
My all time favourite fighter. This is what you get when you mix the dedication of a soldier with the attitude of a London yute, Savage. Great upload. 👌
He used the floor to ceiling bags and speed bags to avoid injuring his hands which also helped with his speed and power rotating through every punch. Great vid mucker love seeing Nigel Benn videos!
man it will never be that way again in boxing in the 80s and 90s,when we had fighters like Benn,mccellion,Jullien Jackson,Nunn...That just to name a few.....
You can add mccallum, hearns, leonard, hagler, duran, toney, curry bros, honeygahn, azumah nelson, mancini, boza edwards, benitez - the 80's was imo the real golden age of boxing. TONS of boxers with MONSTEROUS talent.
The middleweight division in the 90s was loaded ! Benn, eubank, jones, toney, Hopkins mcullum,the body snatcher McLellan the g man, Julian the hawk jackson, barkley, hearns, duran. pazieanza, Charles the hatchet brewer.
@@folksurvival Born and raised in England. I can assure you he's 100% British. Being British or African is a nationality, not an ethnicity. Learn the difference.
@@seablock "Born and raised in England." What difference does that make? You think anyone born in England is English? By that logic white English people that were born in India during the British Raj are Indians. If Nigel Benn had been born and raised in Japan he wouldn't be Japanese, or even Asian, he would still be an African man (and that's ok). A person doesn't magically transform into something else based on the piece of land their mother happens to be on when she gives birth. Biology and nature simply doesn't work that way. "I can assure you he's 100% British." That's a silly thing to lie about. "Being British or African is a nationality, not an ethnicity." No it isn't (not in the modern usage of the word). Also Africa is a continent, not a country. "Learn the difference." You need to take your own advice.
@@folksurvival Haha. You clearly struggle with the difference between ethnicity and nationality. Every white Brit in the UK isn't the same ethnicity as each other either. Being born and raised in another country makes you from that country. You don't need to be of the same ethnicity. Pretty simple really. No one would call a white person born and raised in Japan "Asian". That has to do with your ethnicity. Not your country of birth. You're the one who called him "African". In order to give the exact country his family came from, you'd have to know which country they came from. To reach again by pointing this out even though you were the one to use the term "African" in the first place, clearly shows how out of your depth you actually are. Scottish and English people are both British. But are they of the same ethnicity? To claim it's a lie (It's not) that Benn is British is too stupid for words.
@@seablock "Haha. You clearly struggle with the difference between ethnicity and nationality." Projection. "Every white Brit in the UK isn't the same ethnicity as each other either." I never claimed they are. "You're the one who called him "African"." Because he is, obviously. "In order to give the exact country his family came from, you'd have to know which country they came from." Correct and that country would not be one that is on the British Isles or anywhere on the continent of Europe. Also you admit they came from somewhere else. "To reach again by pointing this out even though you were the one to use the term "African" in the first place, clearly shows how out of your depth you actually are. " You're being dishonest again.

Some are, some aren't "To claim it's a lie (It's not) that Benn is British is too stupid for words" Nope, it's just a fact. Having a piece of paper that grants citizenship to the imaginary modern political state of "Great Britain" or of the "United Kingdom", under current law, is not the same as _being_ British. You probably don't even know where the names Britain, England, Scotland etc come from.
Immediately follow this training secession Nigel smoked a whole pack of Winston Reds and danced all night at a disco. Woke up the next day and train this hard agian.....Because he is the champ. He always was very remorseful about the Gerald McClellan fight, became a pastor later in life. A real human being and a real hero
God help every single one who did including Eubank. Getting punched by him would be like getting hit by a literal train and the problem is he'd have 10 more coming right after with the same power... scary guy in his prime.
Just a incredible athlete, a proper British lion! And to think that Nigel smoked right through his career from 8-42, now imagine a 15-20% more everything of NB! This is why he wants this a 3rd fight as he says he has never been fitter, and who could argue, only he knows how he feels...what a scary thought!
A granite chin and depleted uranium for fists. The dark destroyer is one of, if not the most entertaining middleweight boxer ever, he never let the fans down and always gave his brutal best. As ex British military I'm so proud to call him one of my own. Nigel is a legend!!!
Sibo did well though that's what I mean he was a brave tough man but Benn was real class could he of beaten hagler imo possibly well he would of stood as good a chance as anyone but yes you'd have to favour hagler I fully agree
Benn is my favourite fighter. I grew up watching the guy. But I believe in their prime Hagler's chin would have weathered the Benn onslaught, probably winning via stoppage or TKO in the later rounds. We'll honestly never know. Who gave Benn a chance against McClellan?
fantastic video thumbs up..look at your channel..like what I'm seeing..subscribed. Don't know how long it will take but I will get round to watching all your videos.
This is training and fitness preparation for real fighters!. In a 12-round professional boxing match, no UFC fighter would endure 6 rounds of pure striking! that's why I venerate the noble art so much!
Brought so much to UK boxing.. A legend. I rem a story of crime watch issuing a picture of a suspect and it was the spit of Nigel Benn and two guys in an airport tried to arrest him think it was the criminal only find out when the two of them were knocked out did they relise it was Nigel Benn. True story. RUDE BOY
Nigel Benn trained the way he fought, intensely. Will never get sick of watching the dark destroyer, always entertaining.
Rainy Day Boxing what gym was he outta of
Trevor Tolan Their is a mixture of gyms in the video, the majority of the footage is in Bryan Lynch’s gym
Thanks this channel is Hard as it comes
I've heard that he sparred before the fight not as much as the other boxers, just a little bit
Maybe one on mclellan?
Love Nigel. He made up for his technical deficiencies with a humongous heart and insane tenacity. Wish there were more fighters like him today.
Agreed. Not the most skilful fighter, but one of the most ferocious and fearless to have ever fought and incredible power and explosiveness for his size.
People hinted at steroids too. And he was super human in some fights
I met Nigel Benn and he is nicest man ever met..I wish him ever success in life. God bless him!!
One of the hardest hitting, feared and most exciting fighters to have ever competed. Killer hands.
Now that ladies and gentlemen is how you train....legend!!
The instrumental to this clip is something else, the brutality of the beat goes hand in hand with the brutality of Nigel Ben, keep these vids coming bro I love em!
Greatest fighter ever ..... I even named my youngest son after him " Nigel Benn Bermudez" Loved this guy!!!

DiamorphineDeath Glad you enjoy the editing style, appreciate your support of the channel!
Im your dad
Met this legend .
Same here the editing style is insane and I love it gives it that old school vibe where do I get a filter like that over video
@@RainyDayBoxingbro what happened to prime mike tyson pt 1 why did u take it down thats the best one
One of his early trainer or manager said that his technique was not the best, but his determination and dedication was second to none
I know your comment is 4yrs old but his only flaw was he didn't have the best defense.
I think nigel benn is the mike tyson of the middleweight division. Uncontrollable, unbridled fury within a man known as the most murderous punchers in middleweight boxing.
He has the same kinda aura too
@@Awn678 I'd say Gerald Mcclellan was more the Tyson of that division tbh devastating knockouts especially that julian jackson one
What a fighter. The mean intent on his punches equal that scary power. Great video!
Chun Hoi So I like your videos, keep up the training
ichnsn chgo Thank you man I appreciate it. 😎
That neck exercise at 1:08 really helps you keep your senses when you get hit. Man did this guy work hard.
no
@@isaacdiakite3264 pseudoscience lmao. mike tyson had to get neck surgery
Jo Ys mike tyson had a granite chin
@@joys8634 Mike tyson had to get neck surgery due to neck bridges placing bare stress on the discs not this isometric exercise, if anything, this is the safest way to build neck strength

Thanks for saying that Nathan! Glad you enjoy it enough to watch it multiple times. Appreciate the kind comment!
Be the best you can be. This training video is awesome.👍
What a monster, the music and visuals perfectly capture Benn’s intensity
Where the hell do you get these clips from? Legendary content.
He was the one there filming

Whoa!!! The Hawk!!!!
Nigel benn documentary 1988
Lol there's literally a video already on RUclips with these clips haha
This is real training... so intense
My all time favourite fighter. This is what you get when you mix the dedication of a soldier with the attitude of a London yute, Savage. Great upload. 👌
Nigel Benn best middleweight aggresive. Perfect channel for boxing fans. I'm waiting for more.
Your profile pic is the best ever middleweight
Legend.....my favourite fighter of all time
I remember when these were first shown. Heck, I even remember watching Sugar Ray Robinson train
Brilliant comment Sir
That's so ace.
Salute
We are ALL future old duffers! We’d do well to remember that. Respect to the old duffer.
Magnificent boxer his fights were always a full on battle. Respect
His leaping hook was spectacular, Dark Destroyer.
I have not watched much of nigel before, but this was awesome training, tnx
He used the floor to ceiling bags and speed bags to avoid injuring his hands which also helped with his speed and power rotating through every punch. Great vid mucker love seeing Nigel Benn videos!
Fitting tune for one of the most exciting fighters in the history of boxing. What a tune.
Love that guy. Genuine warrior.
Best boxing motivation I’ve ever seen

Nigel was my idol when I was younger. He looked great and was really exciting to watch. Still my favourite boxer of all time.
You should have way more subs, the music suits him so much. The dark destroyer...
Seven Eleven Appreciate it mate!
This is fantastic to see. Thanks for the upload. 👊🏽
That was mesmerising
Favorite UK Boxer, Just Explosive
He's an African man.
@Shark taiga Still African. Those were Africans taken to the Caribbean as slaves to work the plantations.
The dark destroyer one of the greatest fighters of all time 💯💯💪💪
What an epic video man, Benn is my idol and inspires my boxing.
reminds me of my boxing days back in the early 90s training in boxing gyms upstairs in pubs real
The middleweight division in the 90s was loaded ! Benn, eubank, jones, toney, Hopkins mcullum,the body snatcher McLellan the g man, Julian the hawk jackson, barkley, hearns, duran. pazieanza, Charles the hatchet brewer.
Great intro, really made the piece vintage. I thought it was a late 80's Nigel Benn TV segment til it hit me midway. Awesome stuff. Artistic 👍❤
LA RAMS#1 Haha Cheers mate! Appreciate your support
One of the all time greats!
Nigel Ben a monster
nice wicked footage
I miss British boxing when it was in its heyday. we had the best middle weights in the world them times! loads of them :) big up
Absolutely Amazing Content.
Bad ass fighter,footage and tunes..10/10 cheers👍
Nice video again. Benn shows a lot of dedication !
Britain's most exciting ever World Champion!! Absolute legend!!

These videos have me training for hours
Great stuff watch this before training
This guy didn’t know what boxing was just pure tear ups,I don’t think I ever saw him throw a jab 😂
onlyjoetee easy to hate from a device at home lol
Those jabs were insane fast dawg. That was Rembrandt with a machine gun boy watch your mouth, doesn't get any better than that.
Benn was very intense he had a mean streak in him as a fighter alot of tenacity & powerful

He always was very remorseful about the Gerald McClellan fight, became a pastor later in life. A real human being and a real hero
That Army mentality never left him
Nigels work ethic was top notch and his punches were brutal. Pure legend
The Dark destroyer!
What a nightmare to step in the ring against, he came in there to kill, insane power combined with the instinctive readyness to rip your head off.
God help every single one who did including Eubank.
Getting punched by him would be like getting hit by a literal train and the problem is he'd have 10 more coming right after with the same power... scary guy in his prime.

Legend
Benn and hagler would of been a great fight
OG Dad Let's not stay off your meds too long, Hagler GOAT, Benn solid but honestly, come on.
Tony Gibson did well so Benn would of done ok
BOXING LEGENDS Tony Sibson my friend. He got his azz whipped. I think Benn would have done better and got stopped in the 9th or 10th round.

This guy was a savage. Real fighter
The dark destroyer, best middleweight from the 90s 🥊
Iron Mike The real miniature Mike Tyson
but Steve Collins beat him twice and will beat him again if they get it on like their planing to do so
Steve Collins.
yes
But he didn't beat a prime Benn n Collins himself admits that
What an absolute legend
He would clean out the current middle weight divison in a jiffy.
We need another one of Nigel
they don't make them like this anymore, old school ethical madness, work ethic, killing machine.
I love your beats that you choose
