Aged 53 and 52, apparently they want a rematch.

No problem as far as I'm concerned if that's what they want to do.
I'm sure one of them has got a PlayStation...

One or both needs some cash then. Perhaps Eddie Hearn will stick it on PPV at £19.99?

You'd think they'd be old enough to know better...
Was at their first fight in '96 [as a birthday treat]...
Don't recollect it as being particularly memorable...

According to the article on the Beeb, Benn wants 'closure' and Collins wants the cash to buy more land.

Fairly confident it was my 43rd I was celebrating which would make it '96...
Unless my arithmetic is all to cock...

Same way fighters get licenses to fight Latvian plumbers etc. Just look at the last few matchroom shows. They're just as dangerous if not more.

So dumb but that's the fight game, some of these guys just don't know when to give in. Benn has taken so much damage, knocked out 4 times in his career, plus the countless other knockdowns he'll have received, he really should not be fighting in his 50s. Unbelievably dangerous.

They'll sell out though and make a mint. Good luck to them I say.

Eubank turned it down. Sensible.
Can't see the board of control ever sanctioning this. Of course plenty of overseas boards that would Think it's sad that at their age they think they a) still can and remain undamaged b) their reflexes can take it and c) that they even feel its necessary

If 1) it goes ahead, and 2)it's commercially successful, my money would be on Eubank challenging the winner.
