Our guest on the latest episode of Up Front is the Dark Destroyer - Nigel Benn. A fan favourite throughout his career, Nigel was a two-weight world champion who was involved in some of the most memorable fights in British boxing history.
After taking up the sport while serving in the army, Nigel soon established a reputation as a fearsome puncher. He won the WBO middleweight title in 1990 and the WBC super-middleweight belt in 1992 and is best remembered for his contests against Chris Eubank and Gerald McClellan, the latter of which was sadly to have tragic consequences.
Following his retirement, Nigel struggled with addictions that took him to the brink of taking his own life. He talks candidly about that period of his life and how he turned things around, the fights against Eubank and McClellan and the current boxing scene. He also discusses his son Conor, his potential fight with Chris Eubank Jr and the recent lifting of his provisional doping ban by the National Anti-Doping Panel. Nigel and Simon have strongly disagreed on that subject and, for the first time, they sit down to hear what the other has to say. This is one not to be missed.

In this episode of Three Up Front, with special guest Henry Winter, the panel are set the task of challenging football’s conventional wisdom.
For example, are football agents really the scourge of the modern game, or actually useful allies? Is Russell Martin’s ‘philosophy’ at Southampton destined only for the Championship? Contrary to popular belief, does the Chelsea board actually know what it is doing? And despite the top ten teams in the Premier League being managed by foreign coaches, are British coaches STILL just as good as they are?
Simon, Troy, Graeme and Henry examine all that and more as they put common footballing theories under the microscope.
