Nigel Gregory Benn is a British former professional boxer who competed from 1987 to 1996.
He held world championships in two weight classes, including the WBO middleweight title in 1990 and the WBC super-middleweight title from 1992 to 1996.
He is considered one of the best Super Middleweights of all time.
At the regional level, he held the Commonwealth middleweight title from 1988 to 1989. He scored notable wins over Champions Doug DeWitt, Iran Barkley, Thulani Malinga, Mauro Galvano and Gerald McClellan.
Nicknamed " The Dark Destroyer" for his formidable punching power and aggressive fighting style, Benn retired with a 83.3% knockout ratio.
His best-known fights include the successful world middleweight title defence against Iran Barkley in 1989; the two all-British world title contests against Chris Eubank in 1990 and 1993, and the successful—but tragic—defence of his world super-middleweight title against Gerald McClellan in 1995.
In the build to his ring walks, Big Ben would often chime before he made his entrance to music.
